From the earliest days of the British Virgin Islands history‚ Scrub Island has been a harbor. Christopher Columbus was the first European to see the 230 acres (0.93 km2) island which includes Big Scrub (170 acres) and Little Scrub (60 acres). Scrub Island is an example of a thorn-scrub habitat. Scrub Island is formed by volcanic activity. (in class discussion) The future development of this area is likely to cause significant damage to the surrounding natural elements on the island. In order for

and stored grains. Mealworms get there water from potatoes‚ apples and other fruits that hold water. The life cycle of Tenebrio molitor has four life stages. At the first stage the eggs are white‚ bean shaped‚ and about 2mm to 9mm long. In their larvae‚ their pigmentation is dark yellow with brown hands and is about 35 mm long. The pupa stage is white with a large head and a pointed tail. Like all beetles‚ this beetle sheds exoskeleton‚ has six jointed legs‚ and two antennae‚ compound eyes‚ and

In fact‚ plankton are scientifically unclassified.Within the broad term of Plankton‚ lies a diversity ranging from protists‚ single celled plankton‚ to Phytoplankton‚ plants that contribute heavily to the marine ecosystem‚ to Zooplankton‚ animal larvae who grow out of the plankton classification with age (Encyclopedia). Meanwhile mankind belongs to the overarching species of Homo Sapien. The difference is clear. While study after study extensively reveals more and more of the human species‚ the

I. Meaning of Estuary and Seashore * Estuaries - areas where fresh and saltwater mix - are made up of many different types of habitats. Eestuary is an area where fresh water from rivers flows into the salt water from an ocean. Though these areas can be biologically productive ecosystems that provide habitats for many animals and plants‚ they can also be a harsh environment for others because of their high salt content. * Seashore land by the sea. Seashore law ground lying between high-water

melanogaster. Eggs hatch a day after being laid by the female‚ and are in 1st instar larval form. Over the next 6 days‚ the larvae would molt to the 2nd and 3rd instar. The cuticle of the 3rd instar hardens into a pupa‚ and after 6 days in the puparium‚ metamorphosis is complete and the adult fly forces its way through the anterior end of the puparium. Older males would attempt

autosomal pairs and X/Y chromosomes. This helps to simplify genetic mapping and study. The egg of a Drosophila is around half of a millimeter long and will take one day from fertilization for the embryo to develop and hatch into its larvae form. The larvae go through three stages‚ or instars‚ before entering the pupal stage. This all takes place in roughly six days. Once the Drosophila has entered its pupal stage‚ it will undergo changes to transform into the adult form and shed its pupal case

The cane toad was introduced into Queensland‚ Australia in 1935 to control the sugar cane beetle (sugar cane beetles eat the leaves and produce larvae who feed on the roots of sugar cane crops) 2. Why was the toad unsuccessful as a biological control agent? Different behaviours than the cane beetle - active at different times of the day and preferred different areas of activity. The toad was

The medium bottle containing the F2 generation was placed back in the fly incubator room at 25°C. Week 5: Analysis of the F2 generation All the larvae of the F2 generation have developed into flies. All the flies were etherized‚ counted and classified into their specific phenotype classes. The flies were analysed under a dissecting microscope in order to classify their phenotype classes.

It has feathers that are black‚ white‚ and red. The Ivory-Billed Woodpecker eat beetle larvae periodically throughout the day. The female woodpecker would produce about 2-5 eggs between the months of January and March. Both parents are responsible for giving their young food and protecting them from some predators.

When hermit crab eggs hit salt water‚ they immediately open to produce small larvae-like or plankton swimming creatures called zoea. They develop by in stages‚ each stage lasting about a week. At each molt‚ they grow larger and add more appendages.
