Global warming as we know is a continuing problem in this world that we live in. It has affected our environment in so many ways from the sea levels rising, droughts, wildfires, and so much more. One of the huge problems I have been focusing on is the animal endangerment and animal decline that has come with the worsening of global warming. One thing that is going on that not many people are talking about is the bird shells that are now becoming unable to hatch due to the changes in the climate. Online Library says, “Exposed to heat peaks, eggs in both populations had lower incubation time variability at the detriment of hatching rate. This study highlights the need for functional studies in this invasive species to understand the effects on population dynamics of interacting biotic and abiotic environmental factors under climate and anthropic habitat changes.” So as we can see global warming has an effect on the pre life as well as the animals already living. So before we know it reproduction is going to be harder and harder to do as the climate changes giving eggs a condition they are not able to hatch in.

    I really like your blog and how global warming has not only affected the planet but also hatching. I never thought animals decline was possible. What other animals are affected by this? Overall great post!

    I had no idea that global warming was affecting new born animals like birds. At least with the whole hatching process. Are there any other animals that are affected by this? Is there anyway that we can help them? Overall, great job!

    I really like your blog and I didn’t know that the conditions especially for the birds were so bad. If the birds can’t hatch, there will be no birds left and it breaks my heart to even think about it. Did they find a solution to this increasing problem? Maybe we can bring the birds to a place where it is colder at the moment so they won’t have problems with their incubation time?

    I thought your post was really interesting, it’s crazy how climate change can affect animals while still in the eggs. I never really thought about his birds can still be affected before hatching.

    I really enjoyed reading your blog! I didn’t realize how much globs warming affects everything. How long do we have until chickens are unable to reproduce? Are they other animals that are affected by this?

Blog post #2 Deforestation

Image
 Mason Mitchell             To begin talking about deforestation first it helps to understand exactly what deforestation is. Deforestation is the purposeful clearing of forested land. The next thing to look at is why is this problem occurring? Deforestation occurs for multiple reasons. Through history forests have been razed to make room for agriculture and animal gazing as well as to obtain wood for fuel, manufacturing, and construction. The main problem with deforestation is it’s causing more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere this speeds up the process of global warming causing climate change to become worse.  So what can we do to solve this issue.  Well there is hope in fact deforestation is starting to decrease in North America because of conservation efforts form multiple non profit organizations. There are multiple move to across our country and our world that deal with planting trees and protecting forests. We can do our part and...

blog 9 conservation and extinction Natasha Provinse

     This will be the last blog post I  do on this topic, I have been researching and learning about the issues of conservation and extinction for several weeks now and I feel a lot more personally connected to this issue. this exercise has helped me gain a new understanding of the threat we face in our world today. Nobody knows how many species are being lost each year nor the  total number of species that inhabit the earth today.   According to wwf panda organization , "Biologists estimate there are between 5 and 15 million species of plants, animals, and micro-organisms existing on Earth today, of which only about 1.5 million have been described and named. The estimated total includes around 300,000 plant species, between 4 and 8 million insects, and about 50,000 vertebrate species (of which about 10,000 are birds and 4,000 are mammals)." these species are considered   threatened  and about 23 percent of these species are at risk or on the...

Blog 9.) The Importance of Biodiversity - Dayton S.

Image
Biodiversity is very essential in large ecosystems. The most noticeable, is the resource availability. With plenty of water, comes plenty of insects. The insects pollenate plants, which bring in amphibians and rodents, and fish. This draws in small predators like birds, reptiles, fox, and many more and this keeps going on and on. As long as the biodiversity is large within an ecosystem, it will continue to grow. Reintroducing biodiversity could rejuvenate a declining ecosystem as well, but this needs to be done very intricately so you do not cause a situation like the invasive species which causes a new issue. Why are our ecosystems dying if they can rejuvenate themselves through biodiversity? Well once again we as humans harvest anything we can from ecosystems. This not only hurts an ecosystems biodiversity, but we also stain the ecosystems with particular means of harvesting. For example, loggers use heavy machinery and power tools to do their job. This leaves oil everywhere, damages...
