Burying beetle

Some may argue that people interact with nature in an overall positive way because of the poem titled, “When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer” by Walt Whitman, and how it shows that humans interact with nature in a positive way. However, when people do interact with nature, it is usually in a negative way and they tend to take the Earth and all it has to offer for granted, as shown in “My Life as a Bat” by Margaret Atwood, because people's feelings for bats are almost always negative, as well as in Hope for Animals and their World by Jane Goodall, because of how the American Burying Beetle has gone down in population. People interact with nature a a negative and horrible way. In “My Life as a Bat”, the author is writing about how people treat bats and how they tend to dislike innocent animals who are just playing their role in their individual environments and ecosystems. She goes on to write that humans are scared of them for no reason and that they don't want bats around, even when they aren’t harming anyone. Atwood says, “I look down at the man’s face, foreshortened and sweating, the eyes bulging and blue, the…

Whether about organisms or the earth itself, humans learn new material that will benefit them in some way. Famous scientist and advocate for wildlife conservation, Jane Goodall argues that the American Burying Beetle is “nature’s most efficient recyclers,” (Goodall 63). The beetle helps decompose animals, which makes the ground rich and full of nutrients, excellent for plants. This insect may seem “gross” or “disgusting”, but in reality it helps our environment in an enormous way (Goodall).…

years as she observed the American Burying Beetle. Jane Goodall is a primatologist, ethologist, anthropologist, and a UN messenger of peace. She worked along chimpanzees to observe their behavior which by surprise, made a revolutionary impact on the scientific world. In Jane Goodall’s scientific essay, Hope for Animals and Their World, Goodall uses specifically two phrases and one word to help establish the idea that the beetles play a vital role in the environment, yet is still on the verge of…

Rickie Williams Zoology Ms. Julie Lady Bugs (Coccinellidae) Research paper Introduction Lady bugs are a part of the Coleoptera order. According to University of Arkansas, United States department of Agriculture and County Governments Cooperating Coleoptera is identified by two pairs of wings; front pair hard and shell-like, and hind pair is membrane like. Their mouth part is chewing and their metamorphosis is complete. According to Turkish Journal of Zoology Lady bugs are predator insects. They…

lay their eggs at the tip of goldenrod shoots which hatches into the larva during the summer. The larva bored into the plants stem and begins forming a gall. The galls reach their full size at the end of the summer while the larva matures throughout the year. This is when predators start to attack the goldenrod and feed on the fly larvae within the gall. These predators include parasitoid wasps (Eurytoma gigantea and E. obtusiventris), the beetle (Mordellistena unicolor) and birds specifically…

The polyphagous shot hole borer (PSHB) problem, originated in Asian countries, shifted from a decayed and rotting host of trees in south east Asian countries to native, nursery, fruit, and landscape tree hosts in southern California and Israel. The boring beetle and tree host could exist mutually, however, the distinct symbiotic relationship between the invasive ambrosia beetle Euwallacea and the destructive fungi Fusarium poses a potential lethal threat to specific host trees, such as avocado…

oxygen and consume carbon dioxide. If the trees are killed by the fires, it can lead to a rise in carbon emission, since there are no trees around and burning trees can also cause the release of carbon dioxide. The more greenhouse gases the trees release will in turn to create stronger effects for the global warming. Second of all, the insect outbreak is also affected by global warming. The survival of insects and diseases is largely depend on climate. Due to the warmer and wetter conditions by…

Adaptations allow certain animals to live in certain environments/habitats, these adaptations are crucial for the survival of an organism. Group 2 - Insects Insects are able to survive on land or in water. Both land insects and aquatic insects do the same gas exchange process however both have different adaptations that allow them to live in either land or water. A diving beetle and a mayfly are both good examples of how insects have adaptations that allow them to live in the water and be fully…

always busy with work. The only person that could be said to be close to him was his sister, who would turn on him later in the story. Upon metamorphosis, Gregor could no longer provide for himself, which wasn't a problem, or his family who, he was most worried about. From the point of this major physical change from a human to a beetle, his family starts to turn on him. This is due to the fact that Gregor had no longer acquired the ability to work to work and provide for his family. After…

will starve. It messes up the whole reproduction process. Another way climate change impacts is causing to relocate or migrating up north because it 's now available. An issue in the gulf of Maine has showed up in the past few years. That issue is that the waters are warming up the fastest than any place on earth. This causes fish such as cod and herring to leave. Maine fisheries have been having to shut down creating major job loss and are going to continue to close because scientists predict a…
