1) Many animals migrate to find food, breeding grounds, or a better climate. Whale sharks migrate long distances to seasonal feeding locations and travel between Australia and the Pacific Ocean.
2) The humpback whale migrates up to 5,000 miles between breeding grounds and feeding areas, while the monarch butterfly travels 2,000 miles between Canada and Mexico for climate. Salmon return to their birth rivers to breed.
3) The whale shark is the largest fish, reaching 46 feet. They eat plankton and small fish and prefer warm water temperatures. Their spots help them blend in.

Biology:
You will respond to your classmates' posts and add something new. The response is broad this week, but I encourage you to discuss your opinions and thoughts. Science isn't set in stone. The 'helpers in the nest' theory is controversial, even among evolutionary biologists, as are many topics in this category. BUT DON’T FORGET TO CITE THEM. (Respond with a 100 Words for Each)

Invasive species can be any kind of living organism not native to an ecosystem that causes harm. This can be to the environment, human health, or the economy. These species typically grow and reproduce quickly and tend to spread aggressively. Now, when I think of an invasive species the first thing that comes to my mind is the iguana. Not entirely sure why, maybe its because they are all over nsu's campus, but it was interesting to google other invasive species and learn more about them.
I researched the European Green Crab. The European green crabs are considered one of the most widespread invasive marine species on the planet! They began invading Washington state in 1996. The crabs themselves are native to Europe and North Africa. They were first brought to North America in 1817 by being carried in the holds of wooden ships. It is thought that they were spread during their long larval stage which lasts up to 90 days. They would spread via shipping on boats or by drifting on ocean currents. They also frequently move from one area to another by "hitchhiking" on boats, in gear, or in packaged shellfish.
When the green crab population grows too large, they cause various issues. They compete with other shellfish, destroy eelgrass that is an important habitat for Dungeness crabs and salmon, and disturb sediment. They are able to out- compete native species because they live 4-7 years, the eat a wide variety of plants and animals, and the females release 185,000 eggs up to twice a year. It is said that once the European Green Grab establishes a population in a particular area, it is practically impossible to get rid of them. Groups and organizations are working towards limiting their spread and limiting the ensuing damage.

Reading about different types of invasive species is interesting especially considering the major changes they cause within an ecosystem. Information regarding the Burmese Python was quite striking. The python originates from southeast Asia and has made a significant impact on the ecosystem of the Everglades in South Florida. There are two speculations about how the burmese python reached the Everglades. Similarly to Professor Kiene's mention of the pleco and tiger oscar, ...

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
