BIO202H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Anterior Pituitary, Ice Bridge, Krill
Document Summary
Ice sheets are breaking off (large volume of ice sheets lost) Warm water flow is decreasing the graciar levels. Cold fresh water vs warm salty water. Ice bridge (how quickly the ice sheet is thinning) As the ice sheets are decreasing, animals living in arctic environments would be losing their habitat. Such as polar bears that would lose their fat due to increasing temperatures and loss of habitat as ice glaciers are melting. More prone to sharing the territory and the resources within the territory. Gentoo penguin diverse in terms of prey can eat anything. However, adelie very picky in terms of prey as rely on krill. Adelie penguin have a higher concentration of triglycerides. This could mean that they are more stressed out due to competing with gentoo penguins for resources. Chronically high corticosteroids impact balance of other hormones. Ability of focus to find food will be affected. They are also associated with triglyceride and cholesterol levels.
