Final Presentation our Favorite Animal (75pts.)
You will submit a digital version of your presentation to your lab instructor through Canvas.
Format of Presentation %ach number corresponds to the material needed for each slide of your presentation:
1.) Title Slide 4his should include the common name, scientific name and a catchy phrase/title to interest us in your animal. It should also include a picture of the animal.
2.) Taxonomic Group 3tarting with Kingdom Animalia ,ist the Phylum, Class, Order, and Family to
which your animal belongs, as well as list the scientific name of the animal itself.
3.) Habitat, Range, and Ecology 4his slide should include a description of the types of habitat(s) where
your species is found (freshwater wetlands, temperate forests, marine intertidal?), where it is found geographically (its range), and some interesting facts about the animalàecology (Is it a predator? What
does it eat?, etc.).
Photos and maps enhance the information.
4.) One distinctive morphological characteristic of your animal that appears to be an adaptation to its
habitat or lifestyle (think of special appendages, body shape as related to movement, etc.)
5. and 6.) Research done on your animal 5se one slide to give the overall goals and objectives of the
primary literature paper that you chose to read about your animal (was this study done to understand this
animalàmating behaviors, is it a phylogenetic study to understand its closest relatives, is it a look at
how this species responds to changes in carbon dioxide levels in the ocean?)
On the second slide, include the most important figure or table from your paper that summarizes the results of the study on your animal. When you give your presentation, you will need to walk us through
both axes of the figure or the columns of information on the table and summarize the trends that it
shows.
7.) Why did you choose this animal? Give us one personal connection or fascinating fact that you know
about this animal that led you to choose it.
8.) Literature Cited Slide
With the exception of the literature cited slide, do not go below 24pt. font. Limit your presentation to 8
slides.
You are welcome to make an appointment with your lab instructor before your presentation to discuss
any problems, confusion, questions you may have about any of the material that you are presenting or
for help in finding information.

Secondary sources

The source is secondary, published on sea life base, and the focus of the study is the
biology of Aurelia Aurita. The author has mentioned that predators write them because of the
)gh fatty acid#ontent (Linnaeus, 1758).

The source is secondary and published by Marine bio; the author is focused on
providing basic information about Aurelia Aurita. Such as the feeding behaviour (ecology),
and the food is chiefly collected from the surface. The source includes other information as
well (Marine Life, 2015).
Tombs, R. (2015). Aurelia aurita. Retrieved from Animal Diversity Web:
https://animaldiversity.org/accounts/Aurelia_aurita/
The source is based on secondary information about Aurelia Aurita. The author has
included a detailed analysis of the most relevant information about Aurelia Aurita, such as
geographic range, physical description, habitat, reproduction, development, lifespan,
communication, etc. (Tombs, 2015).

zooplankton food in the Black Sea. Marine Biology.

The paper is written by Erhan Mutlu (2001) about the abundance and distribution of
Aurelia Aurita and its zooplankton food in the black sea. The paper is based on a secondary
analysis in which the scholar collected the sample to study the primary distribution of
urelia Aurita in the black sea (Mutlu, 2001). The results show that their abundance is
linked with the surface circulation of the black sea.

The source is a primary source written by Vanessa Stenvers (2020) about Seasonal
variability of the fatty acid composition in Aurelia Aurita. The author collected samples on a
biweekly basis at the éel Fjord, Germany, from 2015 to 2016. Results show that Aurelia
Aurita has low fatty acid content (Stenvers, Chi, & Javidpour, 2020).
