Animal Ecology focuses on the study of animals and their interactions with each other and their environments. It encompasses a wide range of topics related to the distribution, abundance, behavior, physiology, and adaptations of animals in their natural habitats. Here are some key concepts and areas of interest in animal ecology:

The measurement of environmental factors in land, water, and air is essential for monitoring and managing environmental conditions, understanding ecosystem health, and addressing environmental challenges. Various instruments and techniques are used to measure these factors. Here’s an overview of some common environmental factors and the methods for their measurement: Land:                   Water: Air:

Temperature: Temperature is one of the important factors which affect almost all the metabolic activities of an organism. Every physiological process in an organism requires an optimum temperature at which it shows the maximum metabolic rate. Three limits of temperature can be recognized for any organism. Minimum temperature – Physiological activities are lowest. Optimum temperature – Physiological activities are…

Mariculture refers to the cultivation of marine organisms in their natural habitats, usually for food production, restoration, or research purposes. This practice can involve various systems, including substrate systems and seawater ponds. Here’s a detailed overview of both: Substrate Systems in Mariculture Substrate systems: involve the use of artificial or natural surfaces on which marine…

The use of wastewater in aquaculture has garnered attention as a sustainable practice that can contribute to food security while addressing waste management issues. Here’s an overview of its key aspects: Benefits of Using Wastewater in Aquaculture 1. Nutrient Recycling: Wastewater often contains nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, which can be beneficial for the…

Branch of zoology that focuses on study of insects i.e. everything about insects. In the strict sense, entomology is the study of insects, but entomologists often study other arthropods such as spiders, scorpions, mites, millipedes, centipedes Insects Classification of insects (Species): Group of individuals that actually or potentially interbreed in nature. Interesting facts about insects…

Introduction of Zoology Zoology (Gr. Zoo, animals & logos, to study) is the study of animals. It is one of the broadest fields in all of science because of the immense variety of animals and the complexity of the processes occurring within animals. There are, for example, over 20,000 described species of bony fishes and…
