Calvin Williams' ENB 150 Blog. Tuesday, November 22, 2011. This organism was the start of all vertebrates. It was living 250 years ago and only was 5 centimeters long. It had little body structures that resembled a spine. Yet had no limbs or anything as such to make it able to do much. This is pretty wild to me to be the start of vertebrates.

Monday, November 28, 2011. Lab 10: Mitochondrial Eve. One could say she's the Mother of Modern Humanity and it would not be hyperbole. Mitochondrial Eve is where all Homo Sapien.

We discussed several aspects of the environment in this area and certain species that have an affect on the ecosystem. The Southern Pine Beetle, or Dendroctonus frontalis. Leaf litter decomposition contributes a large portion of the nutrients necessary for a forest ecosystem. Leaves are broken down into organic materials that enrich the soil for plant growth. The American ...

By far my favorite crustacean is the lobster. They are just too delicious. While they may feed off the bottom of the ocean I still like to eat them. My favorit...
