Animals all have their own habitat and must learn to adapt to it. One of those animals is the Dumbo Octopus also known as Grimpoteuthis. The Dumbo octopus must learn to adapt to its biome and the biotic/abiotic elements in it. The Grimpoteuthis is a fascinating and rare to see because they live so deep in the ocean. The Dumbo octopus lives in a certain depth of the ocean and that zone is called the Abyssopelagic zone. The Abyss is very deep and can vary from 4,000 meters to 6,000 meters. The Abyss

(15) Both physical and human factors influence biodiversity. On a global scale, climatic and soil fertility influences affect levels of biodiversity, although often human factors influence biodiversity at a local scale and increasingly globally. Biomes and large scale ecosystems such as coral reefs are influenced by limiting factors such as salinity of water which should remain constant, temperatures between 25 and 29 degrees C and adequate sunlight so turbidity level are low. The Great Barrier

The saguaro cactus has many adaptations w hich allow it to survive in its native desert biome. Many of the saguaro cactus's adaptations are shared with other cacti species. one example of this is the saguaro's thick epidermis and t hick, waxy cuticle, which is an anatomical adaptation. The thick epidermis and waxy cuticle prevent water loss and limits transpiration, so that transpiration can only occur in the stomata when the stomata are open and not through the epidermis of the saguaro. Another

Did you know that the continent of Australia has more than 378 mammal species, 828 bird species, 4,000 fish species, 300 lizard species, 140 snake species, 2 crocodile species, and around 50 marine mammal species? Since 1770 out of all of these species more than 2800 weeds, 25 mammals, 20 birds, 4 reptiles, 1 frog, 34 fish, between 100 and 400 marine species and an unknown number of invertebrates have been introduced becoming part of a dangerous group known as the invasive species. An invasive species

It is know that on a given day, the different part of world has different weather condition. The variation of heat energy absorption of earth surface has major significance in climatic difference and indirectly for much diversity of biomes. Rotation of earth around the sun and spherical surface of the earth also plays a vital role on the temperature, climate on the earth surface. The earth observes enormous amount of heat from the Sun by radiation and it radiates the equal amount of absorbed heat

Research has shown that both fluorescence and photoprotection generate detectible leaf- and canopy-scale reflectance changes that are highly correlated with LUE at both the leaf and forest stand levels. Current research includes study of how these biophysical changes, with significant leaf- and forest-level reflectance correlations, can be used to quantify the degree of photosynthetic down-regulation in a spatially continuous mode. Future research directions could take the following forms. Development

how energy flows through your selected ecosystem?” The Tropical Rain Forest, nowhere on earth, or ecosystem for that matter, has a richer and more blossoming biome, both in diversity and in total biomass. The tropical rain forest has a complex structure, with many levels of life. More than half of all terrestrial species live in this biome. With all this life there is a certain energy that flow that needs to be understood and how the dynamics of it operates. So first we need to understand what

to make way for farmland as a result of the need to increase food production. By chopping down vast swathes of deciduous woodland, the soil in these areas began to deteriorate without the much needed nutrients associated with the deciduous woodland biome. Heather and other hardier plants such as Bracken, Grasses and Scrub Woodland began to dominate upland areas which had been impacted by humans felling the deciduous woodland in the area. With these upland areas being used for sheep grazing and other
