AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on identifying the primary consumer in the waters off the coast of Peru, with participants referencing images and seeking clarification on marine biology concepts. One user eliminated phytoplankton and diatoms from consideration, while another suggested that the primary consumer might be a type of copepod or shrimp. There is uncertainty about the correct identification, with users expressing a need for reliable sources to confirm their guesses. The conversation highlights the complexity of marine ecosystems and the importance of accurate species identification for academic assignments. Overall, the thread emphasizes the challenge of pinpointing specific marine organisms in a diverse ecological setting.

I hope http://h1.ripway.com/Majo/MarineBiologyPic.bmp" loads...if it does, could someone direct me to a site that'd tell me what that is?

As we have seen in this module, the waters off the coast of Peru are special indeed. Can you name the important Primary Consumer in the above pictures? It's not necessary to name the specific species.

I scanned over the topics of each lesson and none mentiond Peru...so, I settled for rereading several articles I was linked to and I'm still not entirely sure.

I eliminated phytoplankton so that'd also eliminate diatoms, right? I, at one point, thought it was a Copepod because of a picture on http://www.biosbcc.net/ocean/marinesci/03ecology/mlplankton.htm" here but I need the points for this assignment...I wasn't sure if I should submit that answer.:frown:

I think your copepod guess is on the right track. Some sort of shrimp.
 

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
