Predator

Understanding Adaptations Objective: To learn about how natural selection works and what it does Hypothesis: If an organisms has better traits that allow them to blend in or be harder to pick up then it will survive longer than others because predators cannot pray on them as easily. Environment Prey- Punchies- a new organism (paper hole punches) Predator- YOU Clock/watch with a second hand PROCEDURE: Spread your environment out on the lab bench. Describe the environment above Data Table #1 Randomly place 20 of each punchie onto the environment ( try to spread them out)

Bio 112, April 26 2013 Transition for competition to other aspects with in populations. EVOLUTIONARY RACE TO ARMS!!!! Evolutionary Responses -Predator- Prey interactions -Defensive adaptations of prey lead to offensive adaptations of predators -coloration, speed, eye sight, its a back and forth between these populations. -Red Queen Hypothesis (Leigh Van Valen) -evolving as rapidly as they can but not going anywhere. Stay in the same positions in the food chain. -Plant- Herbivore Interactions -Passive defenses -Chemical defenses that plants have in place all the time. Toxic!!! bad taste. -Lower population, be a rare species. -be habitat colonizers, rapid growth and re-populate new areas only. -Physical defenses, such as thorns.

Topic & Thesis Statement October 13, 2012 Thesis: The advancements in technology are allowing cyber predators to find their targets too easily. The cyber predators are seducing innocent children and stripping them of their safety. Parents need to protect their children by monitoring their online activity. New laws need to be created to stop these predators from getting out of prisons. They should not be let free to go and hurt a child again. Laws such as the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act of 2006, and Keeping Internet Devoid of Sexual Predators Act of 2008, help to keep tabs on the predators after they are released from prison. More laws and policies need to be enacted to protect the innocent children that are getting manipulated by these monsters.
