Over 16,306 different species of plants and animals have nearly gone extinct. Soon many of them could disappear from our planet and we would have nothing but their bones, and maybe not even that. One of earth's most extraordinary animals, the Zippleboff, will soon disappear. This, in more detail, means that the Zippleboff's population declines quickly. In the last ten years around half of Zippleboff's have disappeared. Cornell scientists estimate that in the next 20 years Zippleboffs could disappear

species, where the ability of one to survive is lowered by the presence of another. An example of competition in the Barwon Heads Rocky Shore environment is between the Soldier Crab and the Notched Shore Crab, where both scavenge on dead animal and plant material. The Soldier Crab has evolved specific features to allow it to compete with the more populous Notched Shore Crab. Because the population of the Soldier Crab is much smaller than that of the Notched Shore Crab, they form in large groups on

less common. Humans occupy many part of the land. To decrease the risk of starving, the only choice is to farm.

The year-round greenhouse and the winter-optimized greenhouse share some similarities in design, structure, and usage. The distinctions between them are relatively subtle. It depends on the grower’s decision as to whether to change a greenhouse from a year-round one to a winter one or vice versa. Growers can make this decision based on the best annual schedule for output. The grower must realize there will be three to four seasons of activity occurring in the greenhouse. The greenhouse must be versatile

Introduction Slugs are terrestrial gastropods that are found all around the world. They need a cool, moist environment to survive (Cranshaw 2013). Due to this, slugs are believed to be more active during the night when the temperatures are cooler and the humidity is higher (University of Alaska Fairbanks 2012). Unfortunately, due to their habitat exclusion and their habits, information on their ecology is limited (Getz 1959). The reason that slugs are so hard to track and study is due to how many
