Mammals are classified into 5420 species within 152 families and 29 orders. The two subclasses are Prototheria and Theria. Prototheria contains monotremes like platypuses and echidnas that lay eggs. Theria contains marsupials in the infraclass Metatheria that give birth to immature young developing further in pouches, and placentals in Eutheria that give live birth to mature young. Marsupials include opossums and kangaroos, while placentals make up the majority of mammal species and include humans, whales, bats and more. Classification systems continue to evolve as new genetic and fossil evidence is discovered.
The document discusses animal diversity and taxonomy. It covers the taxonomic groups from kingdom to species and provides examples. It also covers the six kingdoms and three domain system of classification. Several invertebrate phyla are described including their characteristics and examples. Trends in vertebrate evolution related to respiration, circulation, reproduction, brain structure, and digestion are summarized.
1) The phylum Chordata is defined by five key characteristics present during some life stage: a notochord, pharyngeal slits, an endostyle or thyroid gland, a post-anal tail, and a dorsal tubular nerve cord.
2) The phylum contains three subphyla: Urochordata (tunicates), Cephalochordata (lancelets), and Vertebrata (vertebrates).
3) Vertebrates are the most complex group and possess an internal skeleton, segmented muscles, complex skin, and more advanced digestive, respiratory, circulatory, nervous and excretory systems compared to other chordates.
This document provides information about the phylum Porifera (sponges). It discusses their general characteristics such as being multicellular, solitary or colonial, having a canal system for water flow, and having skeletons made of silica spicules or spongin fibers. The phylum contains three classes - Calcarea, Hexactinellida, and Demospongia - which are classified based on their skeletal structures and compositions. Examples of orders and genera within each class are also provided.
Aquatic mammals and their adaptation, General Feathers of Aquatic mammalsSoniaBajaj10
Aquatic mammals have adapted to live fully or partially in water. Some mammals, like whales and dolphins, live their entire lives in water. Others, like seals and otters, spend most of their time in water but need to return to land for activities like mating. Adaptations for aquatic life include streamlined bodies, webbed limbs or flippers, large lungs and nostrils placed high on the head. Examples of fully aquatic mammals are whales, dolphins and manatees. Semi-aquatic mammals include seals, otters and hippopotamuses.

The phylum Mollusca includes several classes of soft-bodied animals that often have a calcium carbonate shell secreted by a mantle. The body consists of a head, foot, and visceral mass. Molluscs exhibit a range of habitats from terrestrial to marine. Notable classes include Gastropoda (snails and slugs), Bivalvia (clams and oysters), and Cephalopoda (octopuses, squid, and nautiluses), which have complex nervous systems. Molluscs play important ecological roles and some species are economically significant as food sources or decorations.
This document discusses different types of larva found across various invertebrate and vertebrate species. It defines larva as the immature form between egg and pupa that often differs significantly from the adult. It then lists 10 different larval types, including rhagon larva in sponges, planula larva in jellyfish, and tadpole larva in frogs, as well as several mollusk and echinoderm larval forms.
Blanoglossus is a marine worm found worldwide in tropical and subtropical seas. It lives buried in U-shaped burrows in mud or sand. The body is elongated and cylindrical, divided into a proboscis, collar, and trunk. It feeds by ingesting sand and extracting microorganisms, and reproduces sexually with external fertilization. Key anatomical features include the proboscis for burrowing, gill slits and pores for respiration, and a digestive system with a hepatic region for nutrient absorption from food. Though soft-bodied, it is protected by a mucus lining and secretions in its burrow.
The document provides information on the insect order Collembola (springtails). It discusses their key physical features, including their furcula (springtail organ), collophore, and 6 abdominal segments. Springtails have a global distribution, live in moist environments like soil and leaf litter, and are important decomposers. A few species can be considered agricultural pests by damaging seedlings or crops.
The Nearctic region includes North America north of the Tropic of Cancer, including Newfoundland, the Arctic Archipelago, and Greenland. This region is known for its diversity of salamanders and is considered the "headquarters of urodels". When North and South America joined through the Isthmus of Panama 3 million years ago, many animal species migrated between the continents. Animals from the north like llamas, tapirs, and pumas moved into South America, while armadillos, opossums, and porcupines moved northward. The Nearctic region shows great climatic variation from frozen ice sheets in Greenland to deserts in western North America. It contains several distinct sub-regions
The Lophophorate Phyla - Ectoprocta, Brachiopoda, PhoronidaMartin Arnaiz
The three phyla - Ectoprocta, Brachiopoda, and Phoronida - share characteristics such as possessing a lophophore or horseshoe-shaped tentacles for filter feeding, a U-shaped digestive system with the anus outside the lophophore, and being mostly sessile. Ectoprocta are small colonial organisms that secrete exoskeletons and reproduce both sexually and asexually. Brachiopoda are solitary organisms with two-valved shells that were once abundant but now only a few species remain. Phoronida are worm-like organisms that secrete tubes and have elaborate tentacles.
The document summarizes information about the orders Plecoptera (stoneflies) and Grylloblattodea (rock crawlers or icebugs). Plecoptera refers to insects with folded wings, while Grylloblattodea means cricket-like and cockroach-like traits. Rock crawlers are found near ice or snow in mountains of Asia and North America, there are approximately 1 family and 11 species in North America and 1 family and 25 species worldwide. They are adapted to living in very cold temperatures below freezing.
There are only a few vertebrates that have no jaws, such as lampreys and hagfish. Jaws evolved from gill arches in fish and provided benefits like being able to hold food so it couldn't escape from the stomach. Paired fins also evolved around the same time, and it would have been difficult to swim without front fins. Both lampreys and hagfish are jawless fish, with lampreys having an eel-like body structure and hagfish having eyes beneath their skin and no vertebrae.

Osmoregulation in fresh water protozoa - Shampa JainShampa Jain
This document discusses osmoregulation in freshwater protozoa. It defines osmoregulation as the process of maintaining salt and water balance across membranes. It describes the surrounding environments that aquatic animals live in, including isotonic, hypotonic, hypertonic and poikiloosmotic. Poikiloosmotic animals are divided into stenohaline and euryhaline. The document also describes the contractile vacuoles in Paramoecium, which help in osmoregulation by expelling excess water from the cell.
Porifera is a phylum of aquatic invertebrate animals known as sponges. They are primitive multicellular organisms that lack true tissues and organs, with their bodies permeated by canals and cavities lined with flagellated cells. Sponges can have radial or no symmetry, and come in a variety of shapes including vase-like, cylindrical, or many branched forms. They are mostly marine but some live in freshwater. Sponges play an important role in aquatic ecosystems by filtering particles from water.
The tropical dry forests of western Madagascar are home to many endemic plant and animal species. They have warm temperatures year-round, alternating wet and dry seasons, and rich soils. Native plants include baobabs, acacias, and indio desnuda trees. Animals include the fossa predator, dwarf and sifaka lemurs, and mouse and sportive lemurs. Species cooperate by watching each other but also compete for resources. The forests face threats from fires, erosion, hunting and climate change and contain endangered species like the fossa and golden-crowned sifaka.
The document describes the poor living conditions and lack of sanitation in industrial towns in the 19th century that contributed to the spread of disease like cholera. Rivers were polluted by sewage and industrial waste and used for drinking water. Cesspools leaked into water supplies. Overcrowded housing with no running water or ventilation made it easy for diseases to spread. Cholera arrived in 1831 and could kill within days, spread through contaminated water. People did not understand germ theory and blamed smells and bad air for disease.

Tropical dry forests are located between 10-20 degrees north and south of the equator, including parts of Africa, South and Central America, Mexico, India, and Australia. They experience high temperatures year-round and long dry seasons with several hundred centimeters of annual rainfall. Trees and plants must be able to survive periods of low moisture by dropping leaves or having thick bark and deep roots. Tropical dry forests support a variety of wildlife like tigers, monkeys, elephants, and birds that have adaptations for long dry seasons.
Tropical seasonal forests have distinct wet and dry seasons, with trees appearing dormant during the dry season but green and vibrant during the rainy season. These forests most commonly occur in parts of India, Southeast Asia, West Africa, the West Indies, Northern Australia, Southern Mexico, and Paraguay. They have a seasonal climate with a longer dry season lasting over five months and higher temperatures. Many plant and animal species have adapted to survive the arid dry seasons, with trees shedding leaves and some animals foraging at night or hiding underground. However, tropical seasonal forests are threatened by agricultural development and deforestation.
The document discusses the characteristics of desert ecosystems, including their climate, plants, animals, seasons, and human impacts. Deserts have hot or cold climates, with hot deserts receiving less than 10 inches of rain annually.

07. Weather climate and Adaptations of Animals to Climate by Dilip Kumar ChandraDilip Kumar Chandra
The document discusses climate and weather, as well as animal adaptations to polar and tropical regions. It notes that weather varies daily but climate is the average pattern over long periods. Animals in polar and tropical areas have adapted to survive their extreme climates through traits like thick fur, camouflage, and ability to conserve heat and water. The polar bear, penguin, and monkey are provided as examples and their adaptations described.
The document discusses the five main habitats where animals live - forests, deserts, polar regions, oceans, and fresh water. It provides examples of animals that inhabit each habitat and describes adaptations that allow animals to survive in each environment. Forest habitats provide shelter for animals like lions, tigers, deer and foxes. Desert animals have thick skins and store water to endure harsh, dry conditions. Polar region animals live in groups and have insulating fur to withstand cold temperatures. Oceans are home to whales, dolphins, seals and octopuses adapted to salty water. Fresh water habitats shelter fish, frogs, ducks and insects in places like ponds and rivers.
This document summarizes key aspects of desert ecosystems. It describes deserts as regions that receive less than 250mm of annual precipitation and experience large fluctuations in day and night temperatures. The four main types of deserts - hot, semi-arid, coastal, and cool - are outlined based on their temperature and precipitation patterns. Adaptations that allow plants and animals to survive the arid conditions, such as thickened stems and burrowing, are also summarized. Finally, the document provides an example of the Imperial Valley, which has been transformed from desert land into a productive farming region through irrigation.
The tundra biome is a cold, windy region where tree growth is limited by low temperatures and short growing seasons. It is located near the Arctic and Antarctic circles, and on high altitude mountains worldwide. Plants and animals in the tundra have adaptations like thick fur, camouflage coloring, and compact bodies to withstand the harsh climate. The food web is delicate, with humans as top predators who can disrupt the balance by overhunting. The tundra ecosystem now faces threats from climate change like melting permafrost and pollution.
This document provides information about different types of habitats and ecosystems. It discusses forests, tropical forests, temperate forests, boreal forests, grasslands, deserts, mountains, polar regions, aquatic habitats, freshwater habitats, marine habitats, coastal habitats, estuaries, coral reefs, and how plants and animals adapt to their environments. Pictures are included to illustrate each habitat type. The document also covers animal adaptations like camouflage, migration, hibernation, and how plants and animals depend on each other.
The document provides information about the tundra biome. It states that tundra is the coldest biome and is located in northern regions like Scandinavia, Siberia, Alaska, and Canada. It has very short growing seasons of around 50-60 days, permafrost, and receives only 6-10 inches of precipitation per year mostly as snow. Vegetation is sparse, consisting of shrubs, sedges, mosses, lichens, grasses, and some dwarf trees. The biome supports animal life and has two types: arctic and alpine tundra.
Habitats provide living things with food, water, space and shelter. The document describes several habitats including deserts, tundras, grasslands, savannahs, forests, rainforests, oceans, rivers, ponds and the animals that live within each. Animals and plants have physical and behavioral adaptations that allow them to survive within their particular habitat's unique climate and environmental conditions with limited resources like water.
This document provides information about subtropical deserts. It begins with an introduction that defines subtropical deserts and their location between 15-30 degrees north and south latitude. It then covers the physical characteristics of subtropical deserts, including their warm temperatures and low precipitation. The document discusses adaptations of plants and animals to the harsh desert environment, including adaptations like waxy coatings and nocturnal behavior. It provides examples of worldwide locations of subtropical deserts and describes the plant and animal life commonly found in these deserts, including cacti, foxes and kangaroo rats. It concludes with an overview of the food web in subtropical desert ecosystems.
Amphibians are vertebrates that spend part of their life in water and part on land. They evolved from lobe-finned fish around 350 million years ago. Amphibians have adaptations for both aquatic and terrestrial environments like the ability to hibernate, estivate, and lay eggs in water that hatch into larvae. Common types of amphibians include frogs with short bodies and long back legs for jumping, toads with thick warty skin that live on land, and salamanders with slender bodies that hide under debris.
This document defines and describes different biomes, including terrestrial biomes like tundra, taiga, desert, grassland, temperate forest, and tropical rainforest as well as aquatic biomes like marine environments with photic and aphotic zones, estuaries, and freshwater biomes. It provides details on characteristic climate, plants, soils, and common animal species for each biome.
The document provides information about the tundra biome. Tundras have a very cold climate with low precipitation. They are located in far northern regions like Alaska, Canada, Russia, and Siberia. Vegetation is sparse but adapted to the harsh conditions, including reindeer mosses, lingonberries, sedges, and liverworts. The food chain is simple, with producers like mosses and berries providing energy to primary consumers like reindeer, which are preyed on by secondary and tertiary consumers like arctic foxes, snowy owls, polar bears, and arctic wolves.

It also describes behavioral adaptations such as aestivation, seasonal migration and activity patterns. Key animal examples mentioned include camels, kangaroo rats and fennec foxes. The adaptations allow desert animals to avoid dehydration and regulate water balance while enduring high temperatures and lack of water.
The document summarizes various adaptations that allow animals to survive in arid desert environments. It discusses how camels, kangaroo rats, and fennec foxes adapt through specialized physiological and behavioral traits like storing water, being nocturnal to avoid heat, and having light-colored fur. The document also examines general desert adaptations like water and fat storage, cryptic coloring, and minimizing water loss through specialized kidneys, skin, and respiratory systems.
Was the Olympics Worth it for the Environment?Mr Hutchinson
The 2012 London Olympics made significant efforts towards sustainability and environmental protection. The stadium used recycled steel for its structure and roof. Carbon emissions were cut by 47% through renewable energy and green suppliers. Nearly all waste was diverted from landfill and over 70% was recycled. The legacy of the games included extensive regeneration of the surrounding area through tree planting, soil remediation, and underground power lines to enhance the environment.
The document discusses several negative social impacts of hosting the 2012 Olympics in London, including noise pollution from increased traffic and events, overcrowding on public transportation as seen in tube stations, increased security through more police and private security personnel as well as surveillance technologies, local businesses being displaced, the high price of tickets limiting access, and strict visa requirements preventing some families from attending. In conclusion, while there may be positive impacts as well, the document argues that overall the Olympics were not worth hosting due to these social disadvantages.
1) Glaciers retreat due to less snowfall in the accumulation zone and rising temperatures in the ablation zone caused by global warming.
2) The glacier has accumulated in the u-shaped valley it resides in, carrying debris like moraines.
3) Glacial troughs form as the mass of ice abrades and erodes the valley walls and floor over time, creating a characteristic u-shape.
The document discusses developing a sense of belonging to a single world through understanding global interdependence, promoting its benefits, becoming conscious of economic, environmental and social issues, and fostering intercultural understanding by respecting and valuing others.
The video is a tutorial on how to tie a tie. It shows step-by-step instructions with illustrations on how to take the tie and wrap it around your neck, pass one side through a loop, and tighten it into place. The entire process is demonstrated slowly and clearly so anyone can learn to properly tie a tie.
The document discusses the formation of hanging valleys over several centuries or millennia as glaciers erode the main valley deeper than tributary valleys, leaving them 'hanging' high above the main valley floor. It provides the example of Cym Bochlwyd, a classic hanging valley in North Wales, and explains that glacial overdeepening is responsible for eroding valleys hundreds of meters underground, leaving hanging valleys as evidence of glacial erosion over time.
The document describes the formation of cirques and corrie lakes through glacial erosion processes. At high altitudes, snow accumulates in hollows and is compressed into firn and eventually ice by additional snowfall. The weight of the ice causes it to erode the surrounding bedrock through plucking and abrasion, widening the hollow over time into a characteristic armchair shape. Weathering further down also contributes to erosion. As the glacier melts, a corrie lake sometimes remains behind, contained by the rock lip formed from deposited debris.
An arête is a sharp, narrow ridge formed by the erosion of adjoining corries (cirques) by glaciers. As glaciers expand due to increased snow and ice, they erode and carve the underlying landscape. This can result in the formation of U-shaped valleys, corries, tarns, and arêtes. Crib Goch in Wales is a prominent example of an arête, formed from the erosion of two opposing corries that were once occupied by alpine glaciers. It is a steep and narrow ridge that can be dangerous to climb, especially in winter conditions. Arêtes are common landforms found in mountainous areas that have been subjected to past glaciation.
An arête is a thin, knife-like ridge of rock formed by the erosion of parallel glacial valleys or converging cirques. Clouds Rest and Striding Edge are examples of famous arêtes, with Clouds Rest located in Yosemite National Park, California and Striding Edge in the Lake District of England. Arêtes are commonly formed when two glaciers erode parallel U-shaped valleys, leaving a central ridge between them that is sharpened by freeze-thaw weathering.
The sidewinder rattlesnake lives in the Mojave and Sonoran deserts of Southwestern America. It has adapted to the hot, dry climate through behaviors like moving in an S-shape across the sand to avoid overheating its body, and hiding under the top layer of sand during the day to stay cool. As a nocturnal hunter, it uses pits on its face to detect the infrared radiation of warm-blooded prey like rodents through the sand.

How are Lilac French Bulldogs Beauty Charming the World and Capturing Hearts....Lacey Max
“After being the most listed dog breed in the United States for 31
years in a row, the Labrador Retriever has dropped to second place
in the American Kennel Club's annual survey of the country's most
popular canines. The French Bulldog is the new top dog in the
United States as of 2022. The stylish puppy has ascended the
rankings in rapid time despite having health concerns and limited
color choices.”
2. THE DESERT BIOME
The hot desert is a biome that features low
amounts of rain ( less than 400 cm annually),
and high daytime temperatures- whilst being
low at night. Deserts have small amounts of
vegetation but is home to many different
creatures.
3. HOW DO WE GET DESERTS?
Hot air rises at the equator- where the land
receives the greatest amount of the sun’s
radiation. Deserts are mainly found between
the latitudes of 50˚ north and 50˚ south: this
is where the heated air at the equator begins
to descend. The descending air begins to
warm up again which evaporates large
amounts of water from the Earth’s surface.
The result is the very dry climate.
5. DESCRIPTION OF THE HORNED LIZARD
The Texas Horned Lizard (Phrynosoma
cornutum) is typically found in the desert of
southwest USA: in Louisiana, Texas, New
Mexico, Arizona, Oklahoma, and parts of
Northern Mexico.
The horned lizard is the largest and most
widely distributed of the 14 types of horned
lizards in Western USA.
Most of the lizards diet is made up of harvester
ants, termites, beetles and grasshoppers.
6. ADAPTATIONS TO ITS ENVIRONMENT
Because it spends most of the day in search for food (as it needs so
insects to survive), it is very susceptible as prey. This means it
has many adaptations:
The lizard buries itself in the sand to escape the extreme heat.
It has scales that allows dew to collect on its skin to run into their
mouths- as water is scarce.
When the animal is threatened, the lizard will shoot streams of
blood from the corner of its eyes- this confuses their predators.
Their blood has a chemical in it that makes it taste bad to its
canine predators such as wolves and coyotes.
When in trouble, they can puff up its body to make it difficult for it
to be swallowed.
It has thick skin accompanies with sharp thorns all over its body.
