Christmas Island Crab Migration

Christmas Island is home to the famous Christmas Island Red Crab migration. The red crabs play an important role in the island's ecosystem by eating vegetation and recycling nutrients. Their annual migration involves over 100 million crabs moving to the ocean to breed, lasting up to 18 days. To prevent road deaths during this time, wildlife crossings have been constructed under roads for the crabs to safely pass. Conservation efforts like road closures help further protect the unique red crab migration.

Habitat fragmentation srmTribhuvan University, Kathmandu
油
Habitat fragmentation involves reducing the area of habitats and dividing remaining habitat into smaller, isolated patches. This disrupts connectivity and species may struggle to adjust. Fragmentation begins with gap formation and increases over time as gaps expand and connectivity is lost. Biological consequences include initial exclusion of species, crowding in fragments, insularization effects, isolation, edge effects, and matrix effects. Roads pose additional threats through mortality, barriers to movement, and enabling invasive species. Species vulnerable to fragmentation are endemics, interior specialists, those requiring mixed habitats, and those with low mobility or reproduction.

Sharks are classified as cartilaginous fish and range greatly in size, from the smallest deepwater dogfish that reaches 8 inches to the largest whale shark. Sharks have specialized bodies such as placoid scales, a fatty liver for buoyancy, and a conveyor belt-like system for replacing lost teeth. Reproduction varies between oviparous, ovoviviparous, and viviparous depending on the species. Camouflage techniques include countershading which makes the shark difficult to see from above or below. Many shark species are threatened by overfishing for their skin, oil, and fins.Khunjerab national park Pakistan bs zoology.ppt

Habitat destruction and degradation, caused by factors like infrastructure development, urbanization, deforestation, and pollution, is the primary threat to biodiversity in Pakistan. High population growth exacerbates these threats by increasing demands on natural resources. Other major threats include invasive species, unsustainable agricultural practices, overexploitation of resources through overhunting, overfishing, and overlogging, as well as pollution from industrial, agricultural, and domestic waste. Unless addressed, these human-driven threats will continue to degrade Pakistan's ecosystems and drive species extinctions.Grassland Biome

The Galapagos Islands experience a dry season in August. During this time, the nutrient-rich Humboldt Current supports large schools of fish, attracting whalesharks, dolphins, sharks, rays and other marine life to feed. Migratory and native seabirds also thrive, diving from the sky into shallow waters. Sea lions, marine iguanas and turtles are present taking advantage of the abundant food sources. Snorkeling and diving during this time allows views of hammershead sharks, blacktip sharks, whitetip reef sharks and orcas hunting in the waters.More Related Content

The Christmas Island red crab, Gecarcoidea natalis, is the most dominant animal species found exclusively on Christmas Island. Their numbers have increased to 50-100 million since the extinction of their natural predator, the Maclear's rat. One of the impressive sights on Christmas Island is the yearly migration of red crabs across the plateau, which can last up to 18 days as the crabs move in broad columns along the same route each year. The biggest threats to the red crabs are direct sunlight, heat, and the invasive Yellow Crazy Ant, whose numbers on the island have been reduced by 99% through an extermination program since 2000.Antarctica by Chloe

The author wants to research and help stop animal extinction because they like animals. The main causes of animal extinction are deforestation, greenhouse gases, forest fires, and pollution. Burning fossil fuels increases greenhouse gases which trap heat and warm the planet, melting glaciers. This makes the oceans more acidic and inhospitable for sea life. While animals cannot be completely stopped from going extinct, efforts can be made to help them.New National Park at Nilpena, Flinders Ranges, South Australia
