The bamboo lemurs would not adapt well because their diet consists of bamboo without it they would be gone. 4. Some physical traits are which types of fruit and plants they rely on. What species of plants or trees they eat and if they take a specific trail to their home. What types of trees they live in and how they use their tails to steer and balance themselves.
What are the 5 most common causes of extinction? -Destruction of habitat for development and to obtain lumber, minerals, oil, and other products. -Introduction of exotic species into new habitats -Pollution -Overuse of animals and plants through collecting, hunting, or poaching
Koalas have a very unusual diet that could kill other animals and are very tiny. Habitat Where do koalas live?. They inhabit Queensland and New Whales which are states in the Eastern part of Australia. They live in woodlands in Eucalyptus trees, and live and eat only from these trees. The number of koalas is determined by the number of trees.
I feel that "extinction" is not something that has to happen, but happens because humans do not take care of the natural world, the way they should. Many extinctions, including birds and other living creatures, can simply be avoided if humanity put it in their best interest to change the way we run our ecosystem, considering how much these beautiful creatures help us maintain this earth. One of the greatest threats a bird endures is habitat loss. Birds from all regions such as forests, wetlands, grasslands, mountains, etc are losing their homes and resulting in their extinction. Another threat as previously mentioned is from humankind.
Biology Exam Review Evolution Adaptation and Variation * Organisms are constantly faced with challenges that limit their ability to survive * Weather, famine, competition for food, space, are all challenges * Organisms that survive and produce offspring are able to pass along their genetic information that helped them to survive * Extinct: vanishes from earth Adaptations and Survival * The colour and structure help animals to camouflage * This makes them almost invisible and predators cannot locate them * More of the camouflaged organisms survive and reproduce * Adaptation: a structure, behavior, or physiological process that helps an organism to survive in a specific environment * Hibernations
The jungle provides sufficient food and shelter enabling them to have good amounts of leisure time. The Mbuti live under an immediate return system as a foraging society. This is due to the fact that food spoils quickly and must be eaten soon after obtaining it. They cannot store food or grow food in the rain forest. Like most foraging groups the Mbuti are mobile.
c. in both temperate and tropical rain forests, trees obtain nutrients by extending roots into epiphyte mats. d. all of the choices apply. e. both the epiphyte mass in temperate rain forests may be four times the mass of leaves on their host tree and, in both temperate and tropical rain forests, trees obtain nutrients by extending roots into epiphyte mats. 0 19. Darwin is often considered the father of evolutionary thought.
The forest floor – the ground, contains tree stumps, bases and fallen trees, the understorey – made up of small trees, vines and epiphytes, the canopy – a thick level made up of treetops that blocks sun from the levels below and the emergent – made up of trees that grow above the canopy layer. Conditions in the emergent and canopy layers are different from those in the understorey and forest floor. In the top two levels (the emergent and canopy) there is plenty of sunlight and nutrients. The bottom two levels (the understorey and forest floor) receive little sunlight and are often damp. Plants in the understorey and forest floor grow to join the canopy layer when one of the existing trees die and leave a gap of sunlight.
Rainforest in reality have shallow and relatively infertile soil. The reasons behind this soil having these qualities is because heavy rainfall causes important nutrients needed for a fertile environment to be washes away and/or dissolved into the lower layer of the soil (leaching) thus leaving the forest floor infertile. Once leaching has occurred and removed these nutrients, trees become unable to access fertile soil and remain healthy. Many rainforest trees have developed adaptations which allow them to reach down into the lower levels of soil and receive these nutrients. Such adaptation is known as a “Buttress Roots”.
The roots hold soil in place and the tree’s leaves becomes organic material in the soil- food for plants. This cycle creates dependence: the trees cannot grow without soil and soil needs the tree to be fertile. On Easter Island much of the soil washed away without tree roots to anchor it. Because moisture goes back into the air from the leaves by transpiration, there was a lack of humidity and rainfall. The groundwater was not replenished and the land dried out.
