UNIT DISCUSSION
mites > ants > spider > bird > cat > hawk
Humans may be found all over the food web: they are producers and carnivores and every human is really different, so some might produce more than others and others might not consume any meat at all.
Some advantages of being part of a food web rather than a food chain are that the food web is more complexly organized and provides more options for food sources.
In the Lake Michigan food web, it is not possible to identify the most important producer because there are so many channels and ins-and-outs linking one animal to another.
Humans could impact the food web by disrupting the relationships between animals through pollution in which an environment is destroyed and through targeting in which a specific species is targeted for eradication. Both will result in changes for that environment.
When a new predator enters into an existing ecosystem, species there must learn to adapt to avoid being prey and the predator must adapt to survive.
Steps should not be taken to eradicate this species unless it is demonstrably having a negative effect on the ecosystem. If so, fisherman could be incentivized to capture and kill this species.
UNIT 5 DISCUSSION
There are not many natural imbalances...…impact the endangered species especially if the species was a source of food. Decisions about recovery and preservation are difficult because the bats are seen as a nuisance by many while at the same time they serve a very good purpose, which is eating up bothersome insects too. Ethical responsibilities that humans have to other creatures on the planet include being respectful and appreciative: we are all part of the same planet and rely upon one another to make it work. I would be willing to make some sacrifices to help protect another species, so long as it did not intrude upon my ability to…
As a result of the aforementioned factors, problems have developed that need to be overcome. The best way to describe this situation is by comparing the increase of the rate of infectious disease to the fluctuation in temperatures; a connection needs be established between the two. Being able to control the diseases once they have already infested areas that are not accustomed to dealing with them is the major problem
Climate change; Too hot to handle? Climate Change In respect to the world peace, today, there are various issues of concern for survival of humanity in the universe. There are growing interest into the subject of arms race, regional conflicts and continuous injustices among people and nations. However, among the challenges related to these issues, one surpasses the understanding of humanity on measures to adopt in combating it. This is the subject
Climate Change Executive of a Company Re: Implications of different approaches for the U.S. To implement and address climate change. Anthropogenic climate change is that which is dominated by human influences, in particular human contribution to atmospheric composition. It is established that anthropogenic climate change is like to continue for many centuries. The effects of climate change on the planet, and on the U.S., will be far-reaching, affecting all aspects of human life
Climate Change Regulation Climate Change Climate is referred to as the weather patterns of a particular area over a long period. Earth climate can be divided into five main groups, which are as follow: Tropical Climate Dry Climate Warm Moderate Climate Cold Moderate Climate Cold Climate Areas close to equator are the hottest as they get regular sunshine while areas close to poles are the coldest as they receive minimum amount of sunshine. There are two main factors
Climate Change The world's ecological issues have been studied intensely by scientists in various academic disciplines vigorously for many years and have been greatly accelerated in recent decades. The level of understanding about how natural systems on the planet operate has become immensely sophisticated. Although there are still some issues that remain puzzling, on the whole, scientists have a fairly good understanding of the planets natural systems function. In recent years
Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol An analysis of the effectiveness of an international agreement to mitigate the consequences of Climate Change without the involvement of the United States Climate change, also known in some circles as global warming, is a phenomenon that has been the subject of a vast amount of attention in recent decades. This issue stands the potential not only to threaten many animal species around the world, but
