A Keystone species, like an animal or plant helps define and shape an entire ecosystem. These species are a key function to an ecosystem. Without keystone species the ecosystem and habitats would dramatically differ and change or, would not exist at all, species who depend on those environments would not exist either. If keystone species didnât exist there would be no ecosystem for other species to live in. Many of the animals and plants we rely on as food sources...

Chimpanzees, bonobos, capuchin monkeys and other related animals are capable of many similar thoughts and behaviors as humans. The most significant findings from the textbook âUnderstanding Humans: An Introduction to Physical Anthropology and Archaeology, 11th Editionâ and from lectures are their social behavior, cultural behavior, reproductive behavior and language. Different variables have effect on evolutionary processes some being natural selection, and interactions between genetic and environmental factors. Factors that influence the social structure are diets, resources, relationships, and historic traits...

The primary aim of wildlife management efforts for most endangered species involves the reintroduction of safe individuals into wild ecosystems. To help accomplish this aim, zoo population managers are working to ensure not just the animals 'physical well-being but also their genetic health. In essence, the animals should be as close as possible to their wild-born counterparts: the outcome of breeding between healthy, unrelated animals in order to minimize or eradicate fears about the harmful effects of inbreeding. In the...

Among social Hymenoptera, the development of the laborer position has arrived at its peak in the ants, wherein some taxa have advanced complex physical laborer position frameworks. Various specialist rank frameworks can be created through guideline of three parts of larval development: basic size, development parameters, and reinventing of these elements. Indeed, even the most unpredictable position frameworks could have developed basically by the expansion of amended projects as far as possible of a hereditary formative pathway for laborers.

One aim of this investigation was to identify the population growth rate of the Killer Whale population and to determine if they are in danger of going extinct. The population models used in this investigation analysed the different stages of the life cycle of the Killer Whale population. These stages included; yearlings, juveniles, mature/reproducing females and non- reproducing populations. Using the Lefkovitch matrix transition and R studio the population dynamics of this population were graphically illustrated, and the population growth...

Dinosaurs first appeared in the latter half of the middle Triassic 230-240 million years ago; they were originally bipedal carnivores, and quite small relative to the colossal dinosaurs that proceeded them. These primitive dinosaurs rapidly evolved into the two major clades we know of today; Ornithischia and Saurischia, Saurischia being comprised of both Sauropoda and Therapoda. Saurischia makes up all carnivorous dinosaurs and birds, as well as the long-necked herbivorous sauropods while ornithischia is classified as any non-sauropoda herbivorous dinosaur...

This essay is going to evaluate nutritional requirements when feeding horses to prevent or manage impaction colic, laminitis and obesity. Horses (Equus caballus) are non-ruminant herbivores that graze throughout the day. As this species has a small stomach there is a limited amount of food that can be eaten before changes occur within organs, leading to many health issues. Obesity, the excessive accumulation of fat, can be noticed easily when examining the body. Muscle and bones being hard to see...

In the past, culture use to be a trait only explained in humans, but over the years studies have shown culture-like phenomena in animals such as primates. Primatologists can define culture as behaviours that are transmitted socially from one group of species to another leading to group-specific traditions (Van Schaik et al 2003). Social learning consists of learning due to a trigger of stimuli, learning by directly imitating goals or actions (KrĂźtzen, Willems and van Schaik, 2011) . This provides...

Humans have been breeding dogs for at least an estimated 14,000 years, it is said to believe that the evolution of the domestic dog evolved from the wild grey wolf (Canis Lupus.) As humans began domesticating dogs, they had begun to favour specific traits such as dogs with particular physiques and temperaments, hunting skills, intelligence, behavioural traits and even the simple companionship between man and dog.By selecting the most favourable dogs to breed, humans were unconsciously using artificial selection to...

It all started when researchers around the world started unraveling different techniques to clone animals and improve human diseases. Establishing perfect animal models is important, especially for the study of human diseases but transgenic technology is believed to be useful for generating animal models. Since the birth of the first transgenic mouse, hundreds of transgenic animal models have been created and have made an excellent contribution to scientific research. There, researchers used Macaca fascicularis, a type of monkey that has...

Clones are living organisms that are genetically identical to another organism. Although cloning can be seen in nature (e.g. twins and organisms that reproduce asexually), it is possible for scientists to clone animals. The personality of the clones, however, is not the same as the original animalâs due to the environment and random mutations occurring during development in the womb. Scientists have cloned a number of animals including domestic pets, livestock and more. Cloning can be used by livestock breeders...
