Elephant Interaction, Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.
This was probably the most memorable experience, feeding & touching the elephants. These are all orphaned elephants so are used to human interaction. They were very calm & placid.
My trophic interaction is between a Bumblebee, which is part of the tropic level of the herbivore, and a flower, which is part of the trophic level of the producer. The Bumblebee is eating nectar from the flower. The most influential species in my location would probably be my tree species, which are Oak, Maple, Ash, and Elm. I think that these species are important because they provide shelter, protection, and food for most of the organisms in my location. The provide shelter for many bird species and woodland creatures like squirrels. Their fruits, leaves, twigs, and roots provide food for birds, woodland creatures, decomposers, small mammals, etc. They also make up a large part of the biomass for my location. If you removed these tree species, which are the primary producers, the herbivores in my location would not survive because they would have much less food, which would then cause the carnivores who rely on the herbivores to also not be able to survive. These tree species also lose their leaves every year, lose twigs in storms, and drop fruits every year for decomposers to decompose and release nutrients into the soil for other producers to use. If the tree species were removed then the decomposers might also suffer and then with no decomposers other producers might suffer. Therefore, if these the tree species were removed the entire ecosystem would be different. It is crazy how one species can disrupt an entire ecosystem. If these tree species were to be replaced by an invasive species, the ecosystem might have the same effects as if the tree species were removed. The invasive species might out-compete other plant producer species for resources, which is competitive exclusion, which would cause the other native plant species to die out. The invasive species however might be able to coexist with the other plant species which would cause there to be little change, besides maybe the influx of new species that eat the invasive species. This could lead to more competition. Furthermore, the native plant species are what provided the food for the entire ecosystem in my location allowing it to continue, therefore if the invasive species out-competed the native producer species, the herbivores would have to learn to eat the invasive species, migrate to another area where their food is still there, or die out. If the herbivores learn to eat the invasive species then the carnivores would not be as affected, but if they moved or died, then the carnivores would have to also migrate to another area that contains their food source, learn to eat the herbivores that are left, or also die out. Depending on what would effect the invasive species have on the producers, determines what would happen to the decomposers, the herbivores, and the carnivores or moreover the entire ecosystem. Three of the species that I took photos of for the first capstone exercise were Dragonflies, Yellow Flag Irises, and a fungus. According to Slobodkin, Smith, and Hairston's article, my Dragonflies, which are predators, my Yellow Flag Irises, which are producers, and my fungus, which is a decomposer are all ultimately resource-limited in the density-dependent fashion.
La meilleure réalisation 2010, une projection intéractive sur le théâtre, modulée par la voix des spectateurs.
Looks like the end of face-to-face social interaction. Taken on subway in Seoul, South Korea, 20111223
This photo was taken at school, which represents the daily life in SCIS. Everyone is very interested looking at a iPad games, by gathering together and displaying the image of community. This picture shows the social interaction between people in SCIS, which gives the natural feeling of friends being together. I took this picture in a eye level, without a camera flash to look more natural.
