Types of species
Species can be classified in many different ways. One species classification system may categorise species into Typological, evolutionary, and phylogenetic species.
Causes and Impacts of Genetic Erosion
In the modern age of industrialization and competition for development, the human race has badly missed its traditions up to major extents and cultures- up to some extent.
Disruption of Food-chains and Genetic Erosion
The population explosions of earlier and present days have already caused and are still causing serious impacts on the global environment. As for the biological environment, the human population has stressed most biological systems, comprising flora and fauna, as well as biological diversity.
Transfer of Food through Ecosystems
All biosphere ecosystems have well-organized functions, such as cycling nutrients through food chains, operating biogeochemical cycles, and maintaining the energy flow received by green plants through solar radiation.
Positive and Negative Interdependence among Organisms in Ecosystems
Interdependence between two species through which individuals of either one or both species benefit is called positive interdependence. The benefits to the individual of any species through this relationship may be continuous or transitory, obligate or facultative. Both partners in this type of relationship may be in close contact; one may be inside some specific area or attached to the surface of the other’s body. Positive interdependence is divided into three major types: mutualism, Commensalism, and proto-cooperation.
Macro and Micro Ecosystems and Relation among Organisms
A habitat is the natural home or environment of an animal, plant, or other organism.

You might have seen some famous TV serials with Toucan as one of the leading characters on the National Geographic; or some famous children’s films with Toucan as here- like Rio-.
Loss of Energy in the Food –Chain
About 1000J radiant energy comes to the earth from the sun. Out of this, only 10% of the total energy is used up by green plants in the process of Photosynthesis. Remaining 990J of energy escapes away into the atmosphere. 10J of energy is stored in the form of chemical energy in starch and sugars.
Farmers and their conditions in India
Sometimes it so happens that serious and abrupt changes in weather condition ruin the entire crop. Thus, the hard work of the whole season goes in vain. What about the debt which he has to pay? On the other hand, market prices of his agriculture production often remain too less to support the economy of the farmer. These are the conditions under which a number of farmers in different states of India have been reported committed suicides.
