中文简介:
极地地区生活的极端挑战要求在那里栖息的动物进行许多适应。这个单元探索极地气候以及驯鹿,北极熊,企鹅,海洋生物甚至人类等动物如何在那里生存。它着眼于对生理过程的适应性,对饮食,活动和繁殖力的环境影响,并对比水生和陆地动物在这个极端栖息地中生存的策略。这个单元建立在另外两个“极端动物”单元的基础上并开发思路:沙漠环境(S324_1)和休眠和蛰伏(S324_2)。
课程简介: The extreme challenges of life in the polar regions require the animals who make their habitat there to make many adaptations. This unit explores the polar climate and how animals like reindeer, polar bears, penguins, sea life and even humans manage to survive there. It looks at the adaptations to physiological proceses, the environmental effects on diet, activity and fecundity, and contrasts the strategies of aquatic and land-based animals in surviving in this extreme habitat. This unit builds on and develops ideas from two other 'Animals at the extreme' units: The desert environment (S324_1) and Hibernation and torpor (S324_2).
关 键 词: 极地地区; 极地气候; 动物
