Organism Profile
My organism spiecies is the Aloe Vera.
Assignment Instructions
:
You will write an organism profile based on literature researched about your chosen organism. Research should come from scientific information on the internet and research articles at the APUS library. Your paper should include, but not be limited to, the following topics:
1.
Introduction/background information about the species
-
Include common and scientific names of the organism, the area you and this species live (country, state, city, etc.), the area’s biome classification, etc.
2.
Life cycle of the species
-
Describe the life cycle of the organism you have chosen. The life cycle of an organism refers to the series of changes in both development and growth from its beginnings as an independent life form up until maturity, when it is able to reproduce. Organisms like bacteria have relatively simple life cycles; however other organisms (e.g., plants) have very complex stages to their life cycle.
3.
Structure and Function
-
Describe the structure and function of at least one major organ system of the species (e.g., digestive system, reproductive system). Choose one system and explain how this organism’s system is structured anatomically and physiologically. Identify any species-specific characteristics or adaptations that are particularly unique to this organism and explain why.
4.
Evolution of the organism
-
Evolution is simply heritable change over time. Sometimes changes from one generation to the next can give individuals an advantage. Specifically a trait that increases reproductive success or survival ability could be advantageous. Include a section in your profile paper about your organism’s evolution. Here are possible ways to research the topic:
a. Conduct a review of scientific literature to understand what is known about your organism’s past evolution. Search key words may include evolution, fossil, ancestor. Often technical reports from wildlife and conservation agencies have descriptions of an organism’s evolution.
b. Summarize research on any adaptive traits. Search key words include adaptation, evolution, trait, and character.
c. Find an article on the family tree or phylogeny of your organism. Summarize the information describing related species. Search key words might include phylogeny, phylogenetic, and genetic analysis.
d. Use the
Tree of Life Project
to describe the phylogeny of your organism. Start at species, if possible, and trace back to the root. In addition to your summary, include any interesting patterns or unknown data.
**Still have questions about how to research for the evolution section? Click
here
for a hypothetical example.
5.
Additional interests -
The diversity of biological organisms is vast. Therefore, if your organism has a particularly interesting aspect about its biology that is not covered in t.
Surfacing the deep data of taxonomy
The document discusses how taxonomy data is increasingly available in digital formats, with names, publications, and sequences stored in databases. However, the majority of taxonomic names are still only found in the legacy scientific literature not available online. Creating a single comprehensive database of all scientific names linked to their original publications and other related data would help resolve issues around ambiguous names and dark taxa. However, this remains a significant challenge due to the vast amount of legacy literature not currently accessible or digitized.
Research skills in philosophy for graduates
This document provides an overview of research tools and resources for philosophy at the University of Cambridge, including:
1. Libraries that contain philosophy materials, both physical and electronic, such as the University Library and the Philosophy Faculty Library.
2. Bibliographic databases for finding journal articles and other publications, including citation databases like Philosopher's Index and full-text databases like JSTOR.
3. Search strategies for effectively searching databases, such as using filters, Boolean operators, and subject searches.

Ag Data Commons for AgBioData
The Ag Data Commons is a platform for aggregating, cataloging, and sharing agricultural data. It harvests metadata from various federal and university repositories to make data more discoverable without duplication of submission efforts. Currently it catalogs open datasets and links them to related literature. In the future, it aims to harvest more funding information and methodological details to better link datasets to associated research articles and grants. The goal is to organize agricultural data according to shared standards to make it fully machine-readable and reusable to support further research and decision-making.

How the Encyclopedia of Life is wrangling organismal attribute data
The document discusses the Encyclopedia of Life's (EOL) efforts to aggregate and standardize organism attribute data from various sources. Some key points:
- EOL harvests data from over 240 content providers and hosts over 1.1 million species pages. It receives over 3.3 million annual visitors from 235 countries.
- EOL is developing a TraitBank to aggregate trait data from various datasets, totaling over 128,000 data points for over 20,000 taxa so far. It aims to make this data easily accessible and analyzable.
- Challenges include standardizing data from different sources and filling gaps, but aggregated trait data could help answer questions about topics like species interactions, tissue
The Road to TraitBank: What's Next for the Encyclopedia of Life
The document discusses plans to expand the Encyclopedia of Life (EOL) database to include a new "TraitBank" that will store trait data for millions of species. Currently, EOL contains basic information pages for over 1 million species but lacks details on species traits. The first step is adding limited trait data to EOL pages through a new funding initiative focused on marine species. The long term goal is to create a larger TraitBank database that can handle vast amounts of trait data, promote best practices, and enable crowd-sourcing contributions to facilitate research. By linking trait information to species on EOL, it will become a more powerful open resource for studying biodiversity.

EOL currently has pages for over 1.1 million species and sees 3 million unique visitors annually. The document outlines ongoing efforts to make EOL's large volume of species data more computable through linking data to external ontologies, promoting text mining and crowdsourcing of data, and developing infrastructure for standardized access and analysis of species interaction networks and trait information.
Encyclopedia of Life: Use cases for phenotypes
EOL aggregates and curates scientific data from multiple sources to provide comprehensive summaries of taxa. It has grown from 2.8 million pages and 2 million data objects two years ago to 3.3 million pages and over 5 million data objects today. EOL is working to improve semantic search, link data to external resources, promote text mining and crowdsourcing, and provide analyzable data summaries to enable new types of research across the tree of life.
