and assess the changes that will lead to dramatic shifts in trophic interactions between polar bears and their main pray: seals. The article argues that all polar bears show behavioral plasticity but given the rapid pace of ecological change in the Arctic, the long generation time, and the highly specialized nature of polar bears, it is unlikely that polar bears will survive…

Eating Dogs: Comparing the Consumption of Meat Dogs and cows or dogs and chickens when compared are very different creatures. One has the title: man's best friend, the other: dinner. Their physical shape and intelligence level are factors that decide who ends up in slaughterhouses and who is a beloved companion. In Western culture, dogs are viewed as domestic pets; though in other parts of the world, mostly in south-east Asia, dogs are eaten. Although dogs are known to be eaten in certain…

There is a multitude of environmental issues in the world such as deforestation, water shortage, population growth, the list is truly endless. However, climate change has an enormous impact on almost all of these issues. It has been proven that humans have an effect on global warming and climate change. While it is true that greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide exist in nature by clear cutting forests, and burning fossil fuels we are making the situation significantly worse.(Effects of Climate…

Volcano Monitoring The U.S. government should spend tax dollars on volcano and earthquake research because if we continue researching volcanoes scientists can find better ways to predict when a volcano will erupt which can lead to the saving of thousands of lives. Natural disasters are very dangerous and there are some for almost every climate. The one natural disaster that can be in almost all climates is a volcano. Volcanoes can be in places as cold as Iceland or in places warm like the…

the genetic basis of dissociation between mosses and their microbes is. His lab is currently focused on two projects: the evolutionary causes and consequences of dioecy and the community genomics of moss-associated nitrogen fixation in a changing Arctic. These questions are important because the maintenance of separate sexes (dioecy) is, as said by Dr. McDaniel, “an enduring evolutionary puzzle.” These questions and research projects are the stepping stones to answering questions about our own…

Over the past few years global warming has been a major topic and a serious concern for a lot of people. Global warming is really important because it’s a factor in the climate in the world and that can alter a lot of things for the world and people. It been a major discussion over the past few years in the politic areas.

From the beginning of the Industrial Revolution to modern day, air and water pollution has been a problem affecting the economy of the United States, creating a significant cost for damages. The environment is a necessity for human survival, as it provides all of our resources, and maintaining it is the key to improving human life on the planet. Without this, we see more of what has already began to happen: global warming, ozone layer depletion, acid rain, loss of biodiversity by deforestation…

“Greenhouse gases can warm the planet by absorbing the Sun’s heat, and then remitting it into the atmosphere”(Ricketts, 2011). These greenhouse gases are causing the Arctic ice cap to melt at an increasing rate. Studies are predicting that the arctic could be ice free between the years 2020-2060 because of greenhouse gases (ProCon, 2016). Greenhouse gases isn’t the only cause either. Burning fossil fuels such as coal and oil will increase the concentration…
