How could an invasive species impact the resources available to native species?

Many species follow a pattern. Can be daily or yearly.

What patterns do humans have?

Do other animals follow a pattern?

Population Patterns

Migration - moving from area to another.

Hibernation - state of inactivity

Diurnal - active during day

Nocturnal - active during night

Types of Patterns

Migrating is the movement from one place to a different place, typically over long distances. Migration behavior is usually the result of changes in the environment—for example, cooler temperatures or the availability of food.

Why would a bird leave an area during cooler temperatures?

Salmon, whales, monarch butterflies all migrate!!

Migration

A prolonged state of inactivity.

An animal will rely on stored fat to survive during the time of inactivity. Hibernation allows organisms to survive cold weather conditions when they may not usually be able to find necessary resources such as food.

How would this benefit them?

Hibernation

Open Ended

If humans wanted to hibernate, what would they have to do?

Diurnal animals and plants are those that are active during the daytime.

What species would be classified under this?

Nocturnal plants and animals are active during the nighttime.

What species would be classified under this?

Daily Patterns

Match the following.

Many of the daily patterns that animals follow result from circadian rhythms in the brain. Circadian rhythms are also known as the brain's internal clock. As you watch the following video, consider how circadian rhythms impact your daily routine.
