Alligators and they get trapped within the hydrilla. Limpkins, because their primary food source, apple snails, are dying out in the Wakulla Springs ecosystem. Apple Snails and they are being battled because the hydrilla halts the snails as they ascend to the surface, so they drown. Some of the methods that have been used and that have failed are using dip nets, booms, hand pulling and mechanical harvesters The method that is being used now is putting herbicide within the spring. “Hydrilla was imported

Fred Thompson Zoology 2/19/13 Heart Rate of Blackworms Experiment Introduction Blackworms are a species of worm that typically lives in shallow water habitats. They feed on microscopic organisms and organic matter. The scientific name for Blackworms is Lumbriculus variegatus and their classification is as follows: Kingdom: Animalia, Phylum: Annelida, Class: Clitellata, Subclass: Oligochaeta, Order Lumbriculida, Family Lumbriculidae and Genus: Lumbriculus (Svahn, 2009). An adult black worm can have anywhere from 130 segments to 250 segments. These segments are capable of forming a completely new black worm when detached from the host body, and in most Blackworms is the primary for of siring offspring.
The first petri dish we placed under the microscope at 37x was the one containing wild-type hermaphrodite offspring. The Next crosses that we experimented with were wild-type males with sma-9 hermaphrodites. Taking the worm-pick, and putting it in the flame ensured that it was sterile to use in the petri dish with the worms. Then, using that tool under the microscope, we picked out some worms that were in the L4 stage of development (shown in Diagram 1), both hermaphrodites and wild-type males and placed them in a completely new petri dish to determine offspring. They were quite small and were such a high number of them in the prepared petri dishes, roughly 500 in each.
Chicken pox is a different virus it is a herpes virus and isn't related to small pox. It is spread probably by inhalation, the virus is found throughout the patient's body. All the lesions grow until they grow together, and the under skin is killed off and you skin can fall apart. It kills by loss of skin and fluid, while 20% died around another 20% were scarred for life. It can grow not just the outer skin but inside the body, it can grow on the surface of the eye inside the throat and other places.
There are several types of parasites such as Ectoparasite- which is a parasite that lives on the host’s surface, examples will be hair and body lice and mites. Endoparasites – One that lives inside the host, for example heartworm, tapeworm and flatworms. Epiparasite- This one feeds on another parasite. For example, fleas and ticks. 1.2 Identify common illness and infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites.
It was very specific on telling how the Black Plague spread and why the fleas became cannibal. It told each little detail of how the fleas contaminated the body with the plague. The book then explained how the plague was slacking up on contamination. It told that sanitation became more popular to the communities which helped keep the rats away. It also told when and how the first infected rats traveled with the bacteria and fleas.
“Frankenfish” entire diet mostly contains other fish, as well as plants and insects. Every now and then, they also enjoy human flesh. (Urbanlegends.about.com). Parent Snakeheads are known to over protect their young. In one instance, the parent attacked a human who approached their babies.
Giardia lamblia is a single celled organism that causes a diarrheal infection of the small intestines and is one of the most common parasites in the United States. Giardia lamblia is a flagellated protozoan parasite which means it is an organism with one or more whip-like organelles called flagella. Flagellum is a hair like appendage that protrudes from the cell body, and it is how the organism moves around. The infectious agent can be transmitted by ingesting or swallowing water, food, or soil that is contaminated with giardia cysts (hard shells containing giardia). Some examples would be public swimming pools or spas.
We can find numerous bottle caps, wires, metal or non-biodegradable plastics or materials, lighters or even a toothbrush inside their stomach – undigested; especially inside the Albatross’ babies. They suffer a tragic death in their young age. Have you ever wondered where do the trashes come from? How can that garbage reach Midway Island which is really isolated from the other continents and islands? To be frank, those rubbishes are actually come from us – our daily garbage or even factory waste.
