Secret of the Sea Horse: How Creature Got its Curve

Sea Horses don't have that curve in them for no reason. Although it does look cool. Researches discovered that the wavy shape evolved to help capture prey. This curve makes the creature very different then its relatives the pipefish. With this curve in the body it gives the sea horse an advantage to capture its prey, more so then if it was straight-bodied. Having the curve suggests an easier ability to move forward, as well as an advance in the length it can go in one motion. In my opinion this discovery is very interesting and makes a lot of sense. Having the curve would help creatures out more than without, and having the curve gives them an advantage to be taken for granted.

Why You Should Hold A Grudge Against Your Spouse

Many people take the easy way out and just forget their spouses mistakes, move on from them, put them in the past. But is that always the right way to handle things? Sometimes saying "its okay honey" may give your partner the idea its okay to do it again. Therefore, past mistakes will reoccur over time. So holding a grudge against something you don't feel is right makes more sense and will lead to less problems in the future then just forgiving right away. Study's show that marriages who are very forgiving of there spouse tend to fight more then others who don't let their partner off the hook as easy for the reason that the behaviors of the unforgiving spouse will be better because they want to be forgiven. Scientists also found that couples who are more forgiving have troubles with their spouses behavior the next day, twice as much as couples who hold the grudge. This isn't saying to never forgive your spouse, just sometimes being tougher on your loved one will benefit in the long run. In my opinion being less forgiving will lead to fewer problems based on research results.

Commensalism

This picture shows commensalism because the sun is beaming down on the plant giving it sunlight, which helps the organism survive. Without the sunlight the plant would die. So one of the species is benefitting while the other is neither benefitting nor being harmed.

Biotic Limiting Factor

This is a biotic limiting factor because this plant gives the butterfly in the picture a source of food. Also this butterfly is a factor because it gives food to another source. Although, these flowers are a factor to more then just this butterfly. So the flower and butterfly in this picture are both biotic limiting factors.

Fish Fear Their Own Reflections

By: LiveScience Staff

Some fish get scared when looking at themselves in a mirror study finds. They are more afraid of their own reflection then another fish separating them by glass. But whether its a reflection or a real fish the first physical instinct is the same which is to fight. Researchers experimented by putting fish together but separating them with glass and then replacing it with a mirror. Which resulted in attempting to fight or giving gestures towards fighting. Although the type of fighting the fish were doing was not like usual, it was different usually they bite each other one after another but with this instance they did not act the same way. In my opinion the way the fish are acting is very interesting for they do not realize they don't have full contact with their opponent especially when its their own reflection.
