According to the North American Breeding Bird Survey, Great Egret numbers grew over much of their territory from 1966 to 2014, with the exception of Canada, where there appears to be a reduction. On the continent, there are around 180,000 breeding birds. Egrets have faced significant habitat loss and degradation since the 1930s, as well as hazards such as polluted runoff from farm fields or sewage treatment. Their populations, however, appear to be constant.]]> 2022-01-23 23:51:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitlynjones13/mcabiology22egret/wish/2007656238 What does a "Wetland biome" look like? (Define the term) kaitlynjones13 https://padlet.com/kaitlynjones13/mcabiology22egret/wish/2007657420 A wetland is a piece of land that is either flooded or saturated with water. Wetland environments are defined by unique plants known as hydrophytes. Any body of water that is still and lies low is considered a wetland biome.]]> 2022-01-23 23:53:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitlynjones13/mcabiology22egret/wish/2007657420 What are 3 other organisms that live in the same ecosystem as yours? kaitlynjones13 https://padlet.com/kaitlynjones13/mcabiology22egret/wish/2007661533 Egrets live in marshes, ponds, shores, and mud flats. Organisms that also live in these biomes are cordgrass, minks, and bass. ]]> 2022-01-24 00:00:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitlynjones13/mcabiology22egret/wish/2007661533 Competition Organism kaitlynjones13 https://padlet.com/kaitlynjones13/mcabiology22egret/wish/2007664939 An organism that competes with the great white egret in regard to food and population are cattle egrets. Although they are siblings, they have a rivalry. ]]> 2022-01-24 00:06:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitlynjones13/mcabiology22egret/wish/2007664939 Mutualism Organism kaitlynjones13 https://padlet.com/kaitlynjones13/mcabiology22egret/wish/2007665069 An organism that has a symbiotic relationship with egret is the rhino. The egret cleans the rhino and eats the bugs on it.]]> 2022-01-24 00:06:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitlynjones13/mcabiology22egret/wish/2007665069 Consumer-resource Organism kaitlynjones13 https://padlet.com/kaitlynjones13/mcabiology22egret/wish/2007670889 An organism that is a resource for the egret is different fish. The fish is consumed by the egret for energy.]]> 2022-01-24 00:13:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitlynjones13/mcabiology22egret/wish/2007670889 What is one primary producer in the wetland biome? What is its function? kaitlynjones13 https://padlet.com/kaitlynjones13/mcabiology22egret/wish/2007671567 Wetland producers are plants and algae that use photosynthesis to capture energy from the sun and generate sugar. These plants make energy for users. Consumers of wetlands, such as birds and fish, feed on the producers.]]> 2022-01-24 00:14:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitlynjones13/mcabiology22egret/wish/2007671567 Commensalism Organism kaitlynjones13 https://padlet.com/kaitlynjones13/mcabiology22egret/wish/2007674196 An organism that is commensal with the egret is the White Ibis. When hunting, the egret stands nearby the ibis. This is so that the fish that the ibis cannot reach can be eaten by the egret. It is commensalism because the egret benefits while the ibis is unaffected.]]> 2022-01-24 00:17:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitlynjones13/mcabiology22egret/wish/2007674196
