Biological warfare is the intentional use of micro-organisms, and toxins, generally of microbial, plant or animal origin to produce disease and death in humans, livestock and crops. The attraction of bio-weapons in war, and for use in terrorist attacks is attributed to easy access to a wide range of disease-producing biological agents, to their low…
Sharks were discovered more than 200 million years ago. There are many different families and groups of sharks. My research paper is about the diversity of sharks. Some things that I’m going to write about are the different breeds of sharks, their diet, their habitat, what makes them all similar and what makes them different…
The physical relationship of the Direwolf and the modern-day grey wolf is apparent, but how closely related are they? It is my plan to shed light on extinct apex predator. I will talk about the physical anatomy, proposed hunting methods and impact they would have on today’s biomes. Many people have noticed the increased size…
Tuna makes for a good sandwich, sushi, sashimi, and steaks, but in recent years it has become one of the most over-fished species on Earth, according to National Geographic. Tuna range in size from approximately three feet to 15 feet in length and up to 1500 pounds. They can swim up to speeds of 43…
Coral reefs are one of the most biologically diverse ecosystems on planet earth. They consist of corals, crustaceans, fish, sea turtles, sponges, mollusks, sharks, dolphins and much more. Coral reefs are very important in ways such as they provide coastal protection, are nurseries for many fish, they provide food for humans and other organisms, and…
Viruses have always been a world issue. Epidemics caused by viruses started when human society and lifestyles changed in the Neolithic period. As the new habit of hunting and gathering arose, humans developed more densely populated farming towns and communities, which allowed viruses to spread very quickly and naturally become a large issue. Smallpox and…
Cognition is the mental process of perception,memory, and judgement. Though it seems far-fetched that a plant would be aware in that sort. Plants do things characteristic of smelling, hearing, and also sharing resources in a complex network. One plant in particular show cognizance in the form of memory. The mimosa plant closes when touched but…
I will be talking about how climate change effects certain ecosystems and what it does for the animals in that ecosystem. Some common ones are the melting of ice in the north making hard for polar bears to hunt because they have no place to rest and end up drowning. Another one is the coral…
Sharks have been an apex predator in the oceans for thousands of years, and over that time the number of species has risen and fallen, but still retains a large number of variations between species. This research focuses on the diversity among shark breeds. A specific focus is upon sharks living in coral reefs, as…
Tropical Rain Forests are a beautiful part of the planet we live on. They hold what seems like and infinite amount of species and organisms to form the environment they live in. Tropical rain forests only take up two percent of earths above sea level property but also are also home to over sixty-five percent…
