Biology Powerpoint Coral Reef
The document discusses various aspects of coral reefs, including temperature range, species that inhabit them, and supplies needed for a trip to see the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. It describes several organisms commonly found in coral reefs such as nurse sharks, sea turtles, zooxanthellae, seaweed, caulerpa, and zooplankton. Nurse sharks are nocturnal bottom feeders while sea turtles eat jellyfish and plants. Zooxanthellae are algae that provide energy to coral. Seaweed and caulerpa provide food and shelter. Zooplankton are microscopic heterotrophs that eat phytoplankton.
Whaling presentation
Whaling refers to the hunting and killing of whales by humans for their resources such as meat, bone, oil and blubber. Approximately 400 whales are killed each year and 7 of the 13 great whale species are still endangered. Those involved in whaling include Japanese people who hunt whales from boats and use the whale's body parts for various purposes. Organizations like Greenpeace and Project Jonah oppose whaling and work to raise awareness about the issue and protect whales, such as by placing boats to stop Japanese whaling vessels. Perspectives on whaling differ, with Japanese supporting its use of whale resources and groups like Greenpeace arguing it is unsustainable and should end.

1. The document discusses different types of live corners that can be set up in schools, including aquariums, terrariums, and vivaria. Aquariums house fish and create ecosystems, terrariums are sealed containers for plants and small creatures on land, and vivaria simulate specific habitats.
2. Live corners are important for students to develop skills in observation, appreciation of nature, and understanding of concepts like ecosystems and interdependence. Setting up different types of live corners exposes children to hands-on learning opportunities.
3. In conclusion, the document emphasizes that live corners are essential for every school to improve students' thinking and observation abilities.
Turtles
Sea turtles have existed for over 110 million years, but today all seven species are threatened or endangered. They play an important role in marine ecosystems by controlling prey populations and maintaining healthy seagrass beds. However, sea turtles face numerous threats such as pollution, overharvesting, climate change, artificial lighting, and illegal trade. To help protect sea turtles, individuals can reduce plastic use, participate in coastal cleanups, refrain from using balloons and fireworks near nesting beaches, and support conservation organizations.
BioPapuafish
Papua New Guinea has highly biodiverse marine life in its deep waters between 100-1300 meters deep, but this region was largely unknown biologically until the BIOPAPUA cruise partnership between the University of Papua New Guinea and the Natural History Museum of Paris. The expedition discovered a high diversity of fish, crustaceans, echinoderms, mollusks, corals, and other marine animals in the deep sea waters of Papua New Guinea. Many of the fish species require further taxonomic study, and some were previously unknown. Samples collected during the cruise are being studied by scientists worldwide, with the results to be published and shared with the University of Papua New Guinea.
10 endangered ocean species and marine animals
The document discusses 10 endangered ocean species and marine animals. It notes that 368 marine species are endangered or vulnerable according to the IUCN. Examples provided include the Hawksbill Turtle, whose population has declined 80% due to harvesting of eggs and shells, despite bans in many countries. The Steller Sea Lion population has dropped 60% from threats like predation and hunting. Hammerhead sharks are targeted for their fins, though finning is banned, the practice continues due to demand in Asian markets. The Vaquita is the world's smallest cetacean, with its population falling up to 15% annually due to gill-net fishing, leaving only 500-600 remaining. Blue whales were commercially hunted, reducing their numbers
Fascinating sea otters
The sea otter lives in coastal waters less than 1 kilometer from shore, where it eats a variety of invertebrates and small fish for 3 hours per day. It uses tools like rocks to open shelled animals and is endangered due to overhunting and oil drilling, though protected areas and education efforts aim to help the species' recovery. The document concludes that sea otters are intelligent and predicts their numbers and range will increase so they are no longer threatened.
Ecological importance of the parrot fish
Parrotfish play a vital role in maintaining coral reef ecosystems. As herbivores, they help control algae growth that could otherwise overtake corals by scraping algae from the reef. Their feeding also produces the sand that forms beaches and protects shorelines. With their specialized jaws and teeth, parrotfish are able to efficiently feed on the reef and remove dead coral and algae, allowing new coral to grow. Their grazing behavior is critical to the health of the reef.

The amazing platypus
The platypus lives in eastern Australia in rivers, streams, and logs. It has a duck-like bill, beaver-like tail, and eats small freshwater animals at night such as shrimp, insects, frogs, and fish eggs. The platypus is endangered due to habitat destruction, overhunting for its fur, and pollution of its streams and rivers. Efforts to help the platypus include protection under CITES, education programs, and scientific study.
Blue whales
The blue whale is the largest animal on Earth, weighing up to 200 tons and having a heart the size of a Volkswagen Beetle. It communicates using extremely loud calls that can be heard for hundreds of miles. While commercial whaling has ceased, blue whales remain threatened by environmental changes, ship strikes, and fishing gear entanglements. The annual drive hunts in Taiji, Japan result in the brutal killing of hundreds of thousands of dolphins and small whales over the fall and winter months using methods that can take many minutes for animals to die. Despite introducing a dolphin swim program, the people of Taiji intend to continue their traditional slaughter.
Parrotfish
Parrotfish have the ability to change color, gender, and shape. When the dominant male dies, the dominant female will change into a male to take over his role in leading the school. Parrotfish grind coral with their teeth and the sand they produce from chewing coral can form beaches. They are normally found living on coral reefs but some varieties can be seen at the Shedd Aquarium in their Caribbean reef and Waters of the World exhibits.
Humboldt
The Humboldt Squid is an animal that is being overfished in Baja California waters, lives only one year in deep low-oxygen waters, and has large eyes and a sharp beak to prey on lanternfish, shrimp, mollusks and other squid while being predated on by sharks, seals, swordfish, sperm whales and marlins; overfishing is reducing their numbers so limiting fishing would help protect the species.

Ch11 slideshow
This document discusses various types of plankton and their roles in marine ecosystems. It describes phytoplankton like diatoms and dinoflagellates, which are primary producers, as well as zooplankton like copepods that feed on phytoplankton. It also discusses how some marine species like sea turtles, shrimp, and crabs spend part of their life as plankton. Overfishing and bycatch are negatively impacting fish stocks and endangered species like sea turtles, sharks, and tuna.
Coral
Coral is made up of polyps that have tentacles and feed by capturing plankton. There are two types of coral - hard coral with a limestone skeleton and soft coral with small limestone crystals. Coral contains algae called zooxanthellae that perform photosynthesis and provide nutrients to the polyps in a symbiotic relationship. Coral reefs cover a small percentage of the Earth's surface but contain high biodiversity, with many fish living in the complex limestone structures. Coral reef growth requires specific water conditions like temperature, sunlight availability, clarity, and salinity levels.
Green sea turtle
Green sea turtles are omnivores that eat jellyfish, seaweed, crabs, shrimp, sponges, snails, algae and mollusks. They live in marine habitats like shorelines, mudflats, rocky and sandy shores, sea grasses, and barrier reefs. Green sea turtles are endangered due to threats like entanglement in fishing gear, poaching, coastal development, and marine debris. Conservation efforts include reducing plastic waste and not using lighting on beaches that can disorient hatchlings.
Writing Poster
An invasive lionfish species has added to the threats facing struggling Caribbean coral reefs by multiplying and spreading faster than native species. They were likely introduced through private aquarium release and have proliferated across the Caribbean since the 1980s. Lionfish have no natural predators in the Caribbean, can eat voraciously, and have contributed to declines in juvenile fish populations of over 90%. To help control the lionfish invasion, the document proposes educating fishermen, divers, and communities about lionfish and promoting their consumption as an eco-friendly seafood option to reduce lionfish numbers and aid in the recovery of native species populations.
Blue whale[2]
The blue whale is the largest animal on Earth. It can grow up to 110 feet long and weigh over 200 tons. Blue whales are found in all oceans and feed mainly on krill and small fish. They were heavily hunted for their oil and baleen in the 20th century, and are now endangered with only around 10,000-25,000 remaining. International bans have protected blue whales since the 1960s, but threats like pollution and climate change still endanger the species.

Biologists study rocks and fossils for several reasons:
1) Fossils provide direct evidence of ancient life forms, showing what organisms existed in the past and how they evolved over millions of years.
2) Most fossils are mineralized remains such as bones, teeth, shells, or trace fossils like footprints and burrows.
3) By examining the layers of sedimentary rock that fossils are embedded in, with younger fossils on top of older ones, paleontologists can reconstruct the timeline of life on Earth.
Plankton Station
The document provides information about a plankton station learning activity. It defines plankton as microscopic plants and animals in water and explains that they are the basis of the aquatic food web. It describes the trophic relationships between phytoplankton, zooplankton, and fish. The activity involves students using a microscope to identify different types of plankton in a water sample and understand their roles in the food web. Safety protocols are outlined for students who may experience seasickness on the boat.
Whaling Assessment
Whaling refers to the hunting and killing of whales by humans for their resources such as meat, bone, oil and blubber. While whaling has occurred for centuries, the methods and purposes have changed over time. Several non-governmental organizations (NGOs), such as Greenpeace and WhaleWatch.org, actively campaign against whaling practices. There is ongoing conflict between countries like Japan that continue whaling and those seeking to end or minimize it. Modern whaling operations use explosive harpoons and firearms to more quickly kill whales.
Aplysia 490 presentation
This study investigated the feeding preferences of Aplysia californica at different salinity levels. Aplysia is known to be selective in its herbivorous diet due to its weak mouth parts. The study aimed to determine if increasing or decreasing salinity from the control level would influence Aplysia to prefer easier to consume food sources, like algae grounded and set in agar, over natural algae. Sixty Aplysia were collected and tested on their consumption of natural and artificial algae at five salinity levels, with six Aplysia per treatment. The results and their implications for Aplysia's tolerance to salinity stress and ability to adapt feeding behaviors are discussed.
Reptiles
Santa Rosa National Park is home to a diverse array of reptiles and amphibians, ranging from common leopard frogs to massive green sea turtles. These species play important roles as both predators and prey in the ecosystem. However, they are also quite sensitive to environmental changes. Increasing threats like habitat destruction, pollution, and human exploitation are endangering many reptile and amphibian species in the park. Visitors are encouraged to be on the lookout for these animals during their exploration of Santa Rosa National Park.

Santa Rosa National Park is home to a diverse array of reptiles and amphibians, ranging from common frogs to giant sea turtles. These species play important roles as both predators and prey in the local ecosystem. However, many reptiles and amphibians are threatened by habitat destruction, pollution, and overexploitation. As visitors explore the park, they can look for reptiles and amphibians that still thrive there, such as tree frogs, geckos, iguanas, and snakes.
Sea
There are many animals that live in the sea such as sharks, whales, seahorses, and starfish. The document also discusses people in the sea, mentioning that some people enjoy scuba diving and observing sea animals, and may help scientists study them.
Killer whale
Killer whales live in oceans around the world, including the Arctic, Antarctic, and tropical waters. They prey on many marine animals from fish and squid to larger whales, seals, and sea otters. Their population has declined due to historical hunting, boat traffic disturbing their habitat, and pollution in the oceans. Conservation efforts aim to reduce noise and trash pollution to improve conditions for killer whales.

It provides examples of common marine plants like coral and seaweed. Typical animal marine life discussed include otters, clownfish, and jellyfish. It also notes that coral reefs are animals, not plants, and that sharks are no longer endangered. The document concludes that the ocean contains many diverse plant and animal types and that some marine life, like clownfish, demonstrate intelligence.
Biology Powerpoint Coral Reef
The document discusses various aspects of coral reefs, including temperature (25-26 degrees Celsius), species that inhabit reefs like sea turtles and nurse sharks, and organisms like zooxanthellae algae and zooplankton. Sea turtles eat jellyfish and plants on the reefs while nurse sharks feed at night on crustaceans, mollusks, and fish. Zooxanthellae are golden brown algae that provide energy to coral. Seaweed and caulerpa algae also grow on reefs, with caulerpa being poisonous to humans.
Overfishing-molly.w
This document discusses the issue of overfishing and its consequences. It explains that overfishing occurs when fish populations cannot replenish themselves quickly enough due to too many fish being caught. Major causes are industrial fishing trawlers that indiscriminately catch huge amounts of fish and sea life. This has depleted fish stocks by 70% and threatens the extinction of many species like bluefin tuna, sharks, and whales by 2050 if no action is taken. The document urges people to choose sustainable seafood options and petition against destructive fishing practices to help protect ocean ecosystems.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
