You would probably only need a few hours of poking around in a rainforest to find an insect unknown to science You could even name it after yourself!
Adaptation to Heat and Water Shortage in Large, Arid-Zone Mammals Although laboratory studies of large mammals have revealed valuable information on thermoregulation, such studies cannot predict accurately how animals respond in their natural habitats Through insights obtained on thermoregulatory behavior, body temperature variability, and selective brain cooling in free-living mammals, we show here how we can better understand the physiological capacity of
Urban evolution: How species adapt to survive in cities Species in urban settings are evolving along subtly different lines than their rural counterparts, researchers are finding An example is the white clover plant, shown here being sampled in Mexico City The plant has evolved to produce far less hydrogen cyanide in urban environments than in rural ones
What Adaptations Do Plants And Animals Make? - Sciencing Adaptations are those differences that appear in a subset of individuals of a plant or animal species that turn out to improve their survival chances in a specific environment Those individuals therefore tend to produce successful offspring for that environment These changes may be physical or behavioral, or both Adaptation is the essence of survival and evolution All living species of
Vertebrate land invasion - Wikipedia The vertebrate land invasion refers to the transition of vertebrate animals from being aquatic semiaquatic to predominantly terrestrial during the Late Devonian period This transition allowed some vertebrates to escape competitive pressure from other aquatic animals and explore niches on land, [1] which eventually established the vertebrates as the dominant terrestrial phylum
CK12-Foundation Common Environments Although archaea are known for living in unusual environments, such as the Dead Sea, inside hot springs, and in the guts of cows, they also live in more common environments For example, new research shows that archaea are abundant in the soil They also live among the plankton in the ocean (Figure below) Therefore
