Our daily energy needs are increasing every day at exponential rates, with an increase from 51,000TWh to 150,000TWh in the span of half a century. If this current trend continues with 80-85% of our total energy needs being derived from non-renewable resources such as coal and crude oil and with these said to run out […]
Purpose The propose of this project is to compare amphibian and reptile assemblages in the city parks of and rural localities across Pennsylvania. The main project goal is to investigate the physiology of herpetofaunal species across a gradient of urbanization in Pennsylvania.

Therefore a government or agency must be mindful about how the invasive species will react in its new environment. A business or government should […]
Background Nonindigenous species establishment has increased with the growing frequency and magnitude of transportation networks worldwide (Rothlisberger & Lodge, 2013). Some nonindigenous species establish populations and become invasive, threatening native biodiversity and impairing ecosystem services. (Rothlisberger & Lodge, 2013). Furthermore, these ecological impacts can result in large economic and human health consequences (Rothlisberger & Lodge, […]
As human populations grow, the increasing demand for resources can impact the environment in many ways.
