schmichael Brine Shrimp lab 2013 9/10/13 Introduction Artemia salina or (Brine Shrimp) belong to the Anthropoda phylum. Brine Shrimp are found in a variety of different habitats, ranging from temporary ponds to estuaries, lakes and rivers. A Brine Shrimp’s ability to inhabit various environments can be attributed to their tolerance of a range of salinities. Brine Shrimp have been found to survive in salinities from 0% to 15%. When hatching Brine Shrimp the highest number of eggs will hatch

Kendall Montgomery AP Biology Period 1 The Effect of Varying Light Intensities on the Location Preference of Brine Shrimp Hypothesis: If brine shrimp are placed in a chamber with varying light intensities, then they will prefer a chamber with significant light intensity because they need light in order to hatch and develop. Null Hypothesis: If brine shrimp are placed in a chamber with varying light intensities, then they will not have a preference. Procedure: The brine shrimp were placed in

Some do not know this, but Maine's central trade is not lobsters, for that precise reason, Maine is known as "vacationland" and lobsters accumulate travelers. So in the late spring of 2003, Gourmet Magazine sent the essayist David Foster Wallace to examine the ground zero of lobsters, the Maine Lobster Festival, MLF, in the heart of the mid coast area (wallace). One would envision the article would be a paean to lobsters and the exquisiteness of the Maine coast. Truth be told, Gourmet was a dream

It is suggested that the brine shrimp’s preference for green light is due to their food sources being predominantly green in colour. However brine shrimp are non-selective filter feeders who have no preference in what food they consume as they only consume what food is available to them at the time. This raises the question as to why the brine shrimp have an apparent preferred wavelength of light in this set of results. It could be assumed that the brine shrimp were raised in an environment where

Cutlassfish (Trichiurus lepturus) is a cosmopolitan coastal species fished in warm and warm-temperate waters around the world. The occurrence of cutlassfish near thermal fronts in this latitudinal range indicates that oceanographic and biological interactions can be critical to define optimum environmental conditions for this species(Nakamura and Parin, 1993). Cutlassfish is more abundant at temperatures of over 16°C and in the 40-120 m depth range. From late spring to fall, juveniles of 5-30 cm

lowland and upland, respectively. Students were divided randomly into four groups: decomposition, leaf, arthropod, and environment, and tasked with measuring specific phenomena. The decomposition group investigated the decomposition of leaves in litter bags over time, the leaf group observed changes in leaf herbivory by insects and leaf senescence, the arthropod group investigated the diversity of arthropod communities at both sites, and the environmental group examined abiotic conditions such as soil pH

Evolution of Arthropods Introduction Phylogenomics is a crossing between the studies of evolution and genomics. This field of study focuses on the analyses of genome data and evolutionary reconstructions. In regards to arthropod evolution, Phylogenomics rebuilds an arthropod tree where the monophyletic Arthropoda splits into Pycnogonida & Euchelicerata and Myriapoda & Pancrustacea. With respect to the interrelationships of the three existing clades of Panarthropoda, a sister group relationship between

theory of evolution. The hypothesis is also assuming an Ediacaran origin for arthropods, phenotypic evolution was w4 times faster, andmolecular evolution w5.5 times faster, during the Cambrian explosion compared to all subsequent parts of the Phanerozoic. These rapid evolutionary rates are robust to assumptions about the precise age of arthropods(Michael S.Y. Lee, et al., 2013). 2. The research focused on arthropods (insects, crustaceans, arachnids and their relatives), that are the most diverse

pesticides, grooming, and changes in sexual behavior. Health scientist beliefs are that they will eventually make a comeback. Along with learning about the different arthropods, this class has taught the students about other safety lessons and has given me a different outlook on “bugs”. The detection and importance of arthropods have changed the way that I view things. The things that you are familiar to think causes the bugs or insects to come around your living environment or your person, such
