Malchik Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 At the risk of you getting violent with me what is wrong with google? It gives several useful articles you can read free and lists of books you can read for further info. However, I do not find the word tropphich in my dictionary - perhaps it is spelled incorrectly? If it is a translation could you send me the original word and language it is in and I'll see what I can dig up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenxander Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I'm sure your student status gives you access to your campus library and, for free, a plethora of *.edu websites that allow you to, for free, read professional articles published in magazines and educational journals that are certified and acredited. I know this, because my campus has such a system. Use them to find references, or your online library database and search for books that way. Google, Metacrawler, dogpile, yahoo, msn - all available search engines will give some nice info with related sites but of those it's difficult to know which are certified (good enough as a citation for your 'work cited' page) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Wolfe Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Caribou, Muskox and Rodents eat lichen. Wolves eat Caribou, Muskox and Rodents. Fish eat phytoplankton. Seals eat fish. Bears eat seals. It's not much more complicated than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abramul Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Try Wikipedia. In particular, try following citation links from there. The reference I checked had exactly what you're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Wolfe Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Hey, I'm going to be doing an ecology project pretty soon too:What about the proper plant/prey/predator ratio? Where might I be able to find that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTerminator2004 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I'm guessing by tropphich levels, you mean trophic levels? If so, then you must be doing it at A-level (or whatever the wierd American equivalent is). In which case, chances are you will have been given almost all the materials you will need in lessons. And if not, just Google it - that really is the best way to find things out (though in my experience, most geography-related searches come up with a load of theses, and phd abstracts, which arent very helpful). I hightly doubt most people here will be of much help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cazaam Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 Woah. Okay. 1. IM IN NEW ZEALAND!!!!! IM 13!!!!! FIRST YEAR HIGH SCHOOL!!!! DIFFERENT SCHOOL SYSTEM!!

Wolves eat Caribou, Muskox and Rodents. Fish eat phytoplankton. Seals eat fish. Bears eat seals. It's not much more complicated than that. Thanks for that. that actually helps (not sarcastic) I did find a bit on google and ive decided to specically target the andes which i know nothing about because im in New Zealand (AOTEORA. WOOO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Wolfe Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Andes? Those are mountains in South America, they might be a little specific. Couldn't you focus on your own New Zealand or Australian ecosystems? I understand that they are fairly unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cazaam Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 Sorry, mistake. Im not doing the andes but alpine tundras in general. Nz and Aus biomes are all being done by people in my science class. My science teacher told us to be original and it cant involve humans. So...yrah. Oh by the way tommorow noght im going on holiday for three days. The assignments due on tuesday and my info is only just coming together. AAAAHHHHHH!!!
