         <description><![CDATA[<div>When Yellowstone National Park was created in 1872 in the USA (Arkansas), Grey Wolf (<em>Canis lupus</em>) populations were already in decline in the area. The creation of the National Park did not provide protection for wolves or other predators, and government predator control programs in the first decades of the 1900s essentially assisted in the elimination of the Grey Wolf from the Park. The last wolves were killed in 1926. After that time, sporadic reports of wolves still occurred, but scientists confirmed that sustainable wolf populations had been extirpated and were absent from that area during the mid-1900s.<br><br></div><div>Starting in the 1940s, park managers, biologists, conservationists and environmentalists began what would ultimately turn into a campaign to reintroduce the Grey Wolf into the Yellowstone National Park. When the Endangered Species Act of 1973 was passed, the road to legal reintroduction was clear. In 1995, Grey Wolves were first reintroduced in the area. The history of wolves in Yellowstone National Park chronicles the extirpation, absence and reintroduction of Grey Wolves, and how the reintroduction was not without controversy or surprises for scientists, governments and park managers.<br><strong><mark>The wolves were brought in because the increased elk population was overgrazing the deciduous, woody species such as aspen and cottonwood.</mark></strong></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>●     <strong> two examples of animals with a predator-prey relation;<br></strong><br><em>The Wolf on Greek mountains eats wild rabbits, while shark species in the Aegean see eat smaller species of fish</em><br><br><br></div><div>●      two parasitic organisms;<br><br><strong><em>Scabies</em></strong><em>, also known as the seven-year itch, is a contagious skin infestation by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei. <br></em><strong><em>Inonotus</em></strong><em> obliquus, commonly known as chaga mushroom is a fungus in the family Hymenochaetaceae. It is parasitic on birch and other trees.</em><br><br></div><div>●      the ecological niche of two characteristic animals;<br><br>T<em>he position of a species in an ecosystem in terms of the physical characteristics of the are where the species lives and the function of the species in the biological community.<br>The gray wolf's niche in their ecosystem is: Hunt in packs, Have a small amount of cubs - mostly two offspring Has no natural predators - top predator in its niche, Feed on any animals to survive. This includes animals both smaller or larger than them / alive or dead. May clash with other predators like the puma or bear. Gray wolves help even out the population by eating other animals both large and small. Apex Predator - They are the cornerstone of their ecosystem. They "filter" their ecosystem by getting rid of old injured animals. This also then provides food for scavengers. Gray wolves play a critical role in their ecosystem since there are predators for them.<br>On the Other hand, deer live in mixed forests habitats, on wooded farmlands and even in suburban areas of established cities. In winter they take to coniferous forests for shelter. Deer are a prey species, providing food for coyotes, bobcats, cougars, wolves and occasionally humans. In turn, the species helps keep vegetation in check.</em><br><br><br></div><div>●      two organisms that share the same food (niche partitioning) and the way that they manage it;<br><br><em>An good example is the Galapagos Islands.</em></div><div><em>The Darwin Finches &amp; Marine Iguanas on the islands are adapted to their desired food source.</em></div><div><em>On each island a Darwin Finch is slightly different from one on another island.</em></div><div><em>The Marine Iguanas eat sea weed in &amp; around the coast, then go back to the island to lounge upon.</em></div><div><em>The Finches eat whatever the food source on the island they are adapted to.</em></div><div><em>This is an example of where two niches do not collide, the Finches can't eat the sea weed (not to mention, I don't know many birds which do eat sea weed as a 'first' choice) &amp; the Marine Iguana like most Iguanas are mainly herbivores, but the 1,000s of years of evolution has made both species depending if a variation of the Darwin Finch is on an island the Iguanas live on, has made no competition between them.</em></div><div><br><br><br></div><div>●      based on the simplified trophic pyramid found in slide 6 of the resource topic 2.1 'Relationship of organisms in ecosystems', make an analogous one with plants and animals from your own BioArea.<br><br><em>As we see in the picture, herbivores eat plants, and carnivores eat herbivores. As a result, this pyramid is created. In my BioArea we can see most of the species depected in the pictures, such as plants, insects, worms, frogs and amphibians in general, as well as wolves.</em></div>]]></description>
