Elephants live in Central Africa and are the largest land animals alive today. They eat grass, twigs and some fruit. In many Asian countries elephants are symbols of wisdom and are famed for their memory and high intelligence. Once numbering in the millions, the African elephant population has dwindled to between 470,000 and 690,000 individuals because of people hunting them for their tusks. The elephant is now a protected species worldwide, also the hunting and trading of ivory has been banned to protect them. The Rhinoceros, often colloquially abbreviated rhino, lives in Africa. They eat grass and plants. Rhinoceros also have acute hearing and sense of smell, but poor eyesight. However, they are hunted for their horns. To protect them, the selling of rhino horns has been banned and their areas are guarded.
Urban Forestry Gene W.Grey Frederick J.Deneke Ants Nokkur Metsandus I Content Introduction Early history History Distribution Composition Popular species Benefits Planting trees Conclusion Introduction Ø An urban forest is a forest or a collection of trees that grow within a city, town or a suburb. Ø Urban forests plays an important role in ecology of human habitats in many ways: they filter air, water, sunlight, provide shelter to animals and recreational area for people. They moderate local climate and slowing wind. History of Urban Forestry
Protecting endangered species will make a difference in humans' life In the nature of humankind it is natural to hunt animals. However, nowadays hunting endangered species will make humans be just killers, because it is not necessary to kill something just to have a trophy on the wall at home. People can be proud of what they have done, but decreasing the population of a species largely will cause the specific animal breed to go extinct faster than it would happen via natural causes. Therefore, humans should stop hunting endangered species to slow down their extinction, as these species offer balance in the wildlife, are used without purpose in medicine, and may even reduce poverty. Species on the brink of extinction affect us more than we realize. Sure, pandas are cute, and rhinos are fun to look at, but is there anything more to that

Thus, most Estonian freshwater fish (about 30 species) also inhabit the sea. There are some 1450 lakes in Estonia (6.1% of its territory). The two largest of them are Lake Peipsi (the fifth largest in Europe) at 3555 sq km and Võrtsjärv with its 270 sq km area. About 1440 vascular plant species grow in Estonia, while ¾ of the total number of species are found in the coastal lowlands and islands. There are 82 species of fish living in Estonia, which are hard to divide into freshwater and sea species. 357 bird species have been recorded in Estonia, 221 of them breed in Estonia. The bird life in Estonia is at its peak from the end of April to the beginning of July. By August the first breeding birds start the journey back to the South.

Tarantula are a group of hairy and often very large spiders belonging to the family Theraphosidae, of which approximately 900 species have been identified. Some genera of the tarantulas hunt prey primarily in trees and other genera hunt on or near the ground. All tarantulas can produce silk; while arboreal species will typically reside in a silken "tube tent", terrestrial species will line their burrows with silk to stabilize the burrow wall and facilitate climbing up and down. Tarantulas mainly eat insects and other arthropods, using ambush as their primary method of prey capture. The biggest tarantulas can kill animals as large as lizards, mice, and birds. Tarantulas are found in tropical and desert regions around the world. Most tarantulas are harmless to humans, and some species are popular in the exotic pet trade. Some

But experts stress that there is only a slim chance that the translocation will succeed. One of the difficulties is the beetle's life cycle the larvae of bombardiers prey on beetles in the Amara genus, but it is not known precisely which ones. "This is the last chance saloon for the beetle if nothing is done, the species will be lost anyway," Roberts said. Only a handful of streaked bombardier beetles have been found and moved so far, and with time running out before the building work begins, extinction is imminent for a species that was only recently added to the UK's red list of endangered species.

Environmental problems Nimi Klass Biodiversity The variety of life on Earth, its biological diversity, is commonly referred to as biodiversity. The number of species of plants, animals, and microorganisms, the enormous diversity of genes in these species, the different ecosystems on the planet, such as deserts, rainforests and coral reefs are all part of a biologically diverse Earth. Appropriate conservation and sustainable development strategies attempt to recognize this as being integral to any approach. In some way or form, almost all cultures have recognized the importance of nature and its biological diversity for their societies and have therefore understood the need to maintain it. Yet, power,
Electro-fishing equipment is used for collecting different fish species and recording their relative abundances, and making cursory determinations of their health based on external observations. Collecting and recording fish data reveals what species are surviving and inhabiting a particular stream system and to what extent the aquatic ecosystem is maintaining that population. Depending on the type of stream visited and the field chemistry and habitat measurements taken, biologists have certain expectations of what type of species they should expect to find. When this ends up not being the case, as where warm water pollutant tolerant species are found in what would be considered cold water

world. The report is based on up-to-date statistics related to the topic. There are several disappointing facts and figures. a) Over the last couple of years the list of animals in danger of extinction has grown rapidly. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has calculated the percentage of endangered animals as 40 percent of all organisms. Recent research indicates that 70% of the world's most threatened mammal species are currently receiving little or no conservation attention.On 29 January 2010, the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species identified 842 extinct species and subspecies. b) The rarest animal on Earth today is the Pinta Island Tortoise (originating from the Galapagos Islands) , which is critically endangered, since there is only one remaining in existence. Tortoises on the Galápagos have been hunted for their meat by sailors and fishermen to the point of extinction

Inland areas are warmer in summer, and colder in winter there are usually around 40 days of below freezing temperatures (0 °C) at inland weather stations, but only 10 days at coastal stations. Ireland is sometimes affected by heat waves, most recently 1995, 2003, 2006. Nature Ireland has fewer animal and plant species than either Britain or mainland Europe because it became an island shortly after the end of the last Ice Age, about 8,000 years ago. Many different habitat types are found in Ireland, including farmland, open woodland, temperate broadleaf and mixed forests, conifer plantations, peat bogs, and various coastal habitats. Forest covers about 10% of the country. Only 26 land mammal species are native to Ireland, because it was isolated from Europe by rising sea levels after the Ice Age
ecosystem appears to be the result of human use of fire. For example Native Americans created subtropical savannas by periodic burning in some areas of the US southeastern coast where fire-resistant Longleaf Pine was the dominant species. Aboriginal burning appears to have been responsible for the widespread occurrence of savanna in tropical Australia and New Guinea and savannas in India are a creation of human fire use. The maquis shrub savannas of the Mediterranean region were likewise created and
and the latter primarily for protein and other nutrients. Most pollen is used as food for larvae. Bees have a long proboscis (a complex "tongue") that enables them to obtain the nectar from flowers. They have antennae almost universally made up of 13 segments in males and 12 in females, as is typical for the superfamily. Bees all have two pairs of wings, the hind pair being the smaller of the two; in a very few species, one sex or caste has relatively short wings that make flight difficult or impossible, but none is wingless. The best-known bee species is the European honey bee, which, as its name suggests, produces honey, as do a few other types of bee. Human management of this species is known as beekeeping or apiculture. Despite the honey bee's painful sting and the stereotype of insects as pests, bees are generally held in high regard

Chipmunks are small and striped little animals that many peole adore. Chipmunks are easily recognized by the light and dark stripes on the back and head. They can be confused with some of the striped ground squirrels, but chipmunks are smaller and have five dark stripes on their backs. The cimpunk is very colorful: it’s black, white, grey, brown and red. Chimpunk weights up to one hundred and twenty five grams, but theres also some smaller species. Chimpunks are 16 cm to 30 cm long and have one-third to nearly half of their total length long tail. Chimpunks live usually in forests but you can find them also at parks.

The Destroying Angel is more plentiful in mountainous areas and grow in or near the edges of woodlands. They can also be found on lawns or grassy meadows near trees or shrubs. 0 Destroying Angels usually appear in July, August and September. Immature specimens of A. virosa resemble several edible species commonly consumed by humans, increasing the risk of accidental poisoning. Description of Destroying Angel 0 Caps of the Destroying Angel are 5 to 10cm in diameter, pure white, and without any marginal striations. The cap is initially egg- shaped or occasionally almost flat. Amanita virosa gills are white, free and crowded. 0 Stems of Destroying Angels are 9 to 15cm tall and often slightly curved; pure white and fibrous with fragile ring high up on the stipe. 0
Whale There are 13 species of great whale and several species of smaller whales. Whales are large, intelligent, aquatic mammals. Whales have many features that we- other mammals have. Such as four-chambered heart,hair, they are warm- blooded. They are the only mammals, other than seacows , that live their entire life in the water, and the only mammals that have adapted to life in the open oceans. Whales are not fish, because they have lungs and they breath air with them.What is special about the whales is their size. They are enormous.
Fishery resources Capture fisheries resources are highly diverse. FAO landing statistics refer to about 2 500 species or group of species most of which are finfish. By far the most numerous fish species, and those most important to aquaculture and fisheries, are teleosts, or bony fish, which in the sea extend from small "grazing" species such as anchovy to large active predatory fish such as tuna. A similarly wide range is also found in freshwater, with the most important species from a production point of view belonging to the carp family. These account for over half the total of inland waters fisheries production. Marine capture fisheries resources are usually considered close to full exploitation worldwide with about half of them fully exploited, one quarter over exploited, depleted or

Twenty-nine species of clownfish live among the reefs from East Africa to French Polynesia and from Japan to eastern Australia. Among scientists and aquarists, clownfish are also known as anemone fish because they can't survive without a host anemone, whose stinging tentacles protect them and their developing eggs from intruders. It's still a mystery exactly how a clownfish avoids being stung by the anemone. Of the roughly thousand species of anemones, only ten host clownfish
Fishing down the food web (toitumisahela võrgustik) What can we do to help? WHAT IS OVERFISHING? Catching too much fish for the system to support leads to an overall degradation to the system. Overfishing is a non-sustainable use of the oceans. WHAT IS CAUSING OVERFISHING? Worldwide, fishing fleets are at least two to three times as large as needed to take present day catches of fish and other marine species. On a global scale we have enough fishing capacity to cover at least four Earth like planets. Overfishing have a large impact on the basic functioning of our marine ecosystems. These unselective fishing practices and gear cause tremendous destruction on non target species. WHY IS OVERFISHING A PROBLEM? The FAO scientists publish a report (SOFIA) on the state of the world's fisheries and aquaculture.

everything was naturally in motion. In the course of the eighteenth century the notion of progress, of gradual but relentless pursuit of betterment, began to take hold in western thought. It was only natural that the ideas of change and of progress should eventually be applied to the Great Chain of Being. The natural implication of a "dynamic" chain of being was a sort of tree of life, gradually sprouting upward from basic primordial ooze, branching outward into all the varied species on our fine planet, ending with, of course, eighteenth century Man. This could be called evolutionary, but it does not offer a theory of evolution, an order in which evolution took place. It was no longer acceptable to say "God did it". Therefor, if evolution was to ever become a science, a rational explanation had to be offered. Such an explanation was proposed by Jean Babtiste Lamarck toward the end of the eighteenth century, and Lamarck became best

However there is now interesting evidence from studies of their behaviour and brain function that they have highly sophisticated social and emotional recognition skills using faces, voices and smell. They are able to recognize and remember many diferent sheep and humans for several years or more and appear to have some capacity for forming mental images of the faces of absent individuals. The precence of such social cognition abilities in this species means that we must pay careful attention to welfare factors such as the composition and stability of their social environment as well as the nature of our own interactions with them. To many humans sheep are regarded as being as close to an automaton and amindless animal species as can be imagined and any serious consideration of their cognitive, social and general mental faculties deemed futile.

Ökoloogiliste tegurite liigitus Biootilised(liigisisesed ja liikide vahelised) ja abiootilised(klimaatilised, edaafilised jne,); Looduslikud ja antropogeensed, Maa rütmidega seonduvad: esmasperioodilised, sekundaarsed ja aperioodilised. 5. Selgitage autökoloogilise ja sünökoloogilise kasvukõvera vahelisi erinevusi Autecology is the ecology of a single species, its relations to its natural conditions like soil and climate. The science of the relations within the population of one species is called population ecology. Synecology on the other hand is the ecology of different species living in the same habitat, their relations with one another 6. Darwini postulaadid 1)Populatsiooni sees esineb individuaalset muutlikkust. 2)See muutlikkus on osaliselt päritav.
Mentha - mint Eliisabet Ojar • Mentha is a genus of plants in the family Lamiaceae (mint family). The species are not clearly distinct, and estimates of their number vary from 13 to 18. Hybridization between some of the species occurs naturally. Many other hybrids, as well as numerous cultivars, are known. • Mints are aromatic, almost exclusively perennial, rarely annual, herbs. They have wide-spreading underground and overground stolons and erect, square, branched stems. The leaves are arranged in opposite pairs. Leaf colors range from dark green and gray-green to purple, blue, and sometimes pale yellow. The flowers are white to purple. • Most mints grow best in wet environments and moist soils

Another suggestion, although much less frequently used, is the Islands of the North Atlantic (IONA). Climate Overall, Ireland has a mild, but changeable, climate all year. The island is not noted for its extremes. The warmest recorded air temperature was 33.3°C. The coldest air temperature was -19.1°C Average temperatures in the island vary from -4°C (min) to 11°C (max) in January, and 9°C (min) to 23°C (max) in July. Flora and fauna Ireland has fewer animal and plant species than either Britain or mainland Europe because it became an island very soon after the end of the last Ice Age, about 8,000 years ago. Nevertheless, it is home to hundreds of plant species, some of them unique to the island. Many different habitat types are found in Ireland, including farmland, open woodland, temperate forests, conifer plantations, peat bogs, and various coastal habitats. Fauna
Butterflies are important for pollination and natural pest control. Butterflies are an important element of the food chain and are prey for birds, bats and other animals.

of the coffee and gradually raised a little. The layer of cream will float on the coffee without mixing. The coffee is drunk through the layer of cream. Irish also like to make a lot of different cup cakes and buns(kukkel). Irish are really proud about their soda bread also , which doesn't look so tempting at all and many tourist have said its just not a bread , its a dark soda tasting bread , on which you definitely have to put something on to eat it. Fauna Only 26 land mammal species are native to Ireland, because it was isolated from Europe by rising sea levels after the Ice Age. Some species, such as the red fox, hedgehog, and badger are very common, whereas others, like the Irish hare, red deer and pine marten (mets nugis) are less common. About 400 species of birds have been recorded in Ireland. Many of these are migratory(ränd lind), including the Barn Swallow. Most of Ireland's bird species come from Iceland, Greenland and Africa.
