However as females in the sampled lobsters only constituted 5.1% of the population, the dietary behaviour was only taken into consideration for the male lobsters across depth and size. Early studies at J.tristani at Tristan da Cunha islands on the biology of the species found inter-island differences in growth rates and dietary behaviour (Roscoe 1979

There I was, face to face with a half-ton monster, or so I thought. The huge manatee in front of me was scary, but not going to hurt me. It was Thursday afternoon in Miami, Florida.

Photosynthesis Design Lab: Aim: To measure the effect of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis in leaf discs. Background: Leaf disks float, naturally. When the air spaces are filled with a solution the overall mass of the leaf disks increase and they then sink. The solution used includes a small amount of Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3). This Bicarbonate ion acts as a carbon source for photosynthesis. As photosynthesis continues, oxygen is then released into the inside of the leaf disk which
