Different Yet Complimentary
Even though the Bergmann rule and Allan rule are different rules entirely they are both complementary to each other. In 1847 Bergmann observed that within the same spices of warm-blooded animals, populations have less bulky individuals are more often found in warm climates near the equator while, those with greater bulk, mass, are found further from the equator in colder regions. This is due to the fact that big animals generally have larger body masses that result in more heat being produced. The greater amount of heat results from there being more cells. A normal by product of metabolism in cells is heat production. Subsequently the more cells an animal has, the more internal heat it will produce. In addition, larger animals usually have smaller surface area relative to their body masses and therefore are comparatively, in efficient at radiating their body heat off into the surrounding environment. This is illustrated when the volume increases twice as fast as the surface size. Relatively less surface area results in relatively less heat being lost. In 1877, Allen went further than Bergmann in observing that the length of arms, legs, and other appendages also has an effect on the amount of heat lost to the surrounding environment. He noted that among warm-blooded animals, individuals in populations living further away from the equator in colder environments. This is due to the fact that a thin body with relatively long appendages is less compact and subsequently has more surface area. The greater the body area, the faster body heat will be lost to the environment. A tall and slender individual will have the same volume but greater surface area. It is comparable to an animal with arm and legs. I will demonstrate to you in this essay that even though the Allan rule and Bergmann rule are two different rules they are also complementary to each other. I will show this through explaining each on thoroughly, compare and contrast them and by presenting examples for each rule.
Carl Bergmann was a 19th century biologist who pointed out that amongst birds and mammal individuals of the same species tend to be larger and heavier when they lived in colder climates. This applies to pumas, bears, koalas, penguins, etc. Even in the case of people, there is an obvious difference between the height and weight of a high-latitude Scandinavian and those of an equatorial pygmy.
good and evil within Cherokee mythology displays both a conflicting nature when dealing with the basic forms of these two ideas along with a complementary nature due to the fact that one idea cannot exist without the other. One sees this conflicting yet complementary
In the passage of the Narrative of Fredrick Douglass, the author masterfully conveys two complimentary tones of liberation and fear. The tones transition by the use of diction and detail. The passage is written entirely in first person, since we are witnessing the struggles of Fredrick Douglass through his eyes. Through his diction, we are able to feel the triumph that comes with freedom along with the hardships. Similarly, detail brings a picturesque view of his adversities. Since the point of view
I think the most memorable meal I have ever eaten last December 21 of 2013 during our Christmas party in the Philippines. There was a lechon (roasted pig), a bam-i (fried noodle), tinolang manok (ginger native chicken soup), goat caldereta, dinuguan (pork blood stew), fresh lumpia (spring roll), and rice. For our dessert was a fruit salad and a Filipino native wine name tuba made from coconut. It was memorable because of the presence of my family and friends back home in the Philippines celebrating
In the novel “Sula”, Toni Morrison presents a very different view on gender in the black community between 1919 and 1965. Written in 1973 after the Civil Rights movement and during the feminist movement, Morison breaks down the traditional gender barriers from as early as 1919, proving that black females were “women” much sooner than their white “lady” counterparts. Morrison depicts matriarchal homes where the women are the dominant figures who even go as far as to emasculate their male opposites
Snapple was launched in 1972 in the Greenwich Village area of New York City with its founding product being an all-natural apple juice targeted to health conscious consumers. Over the next 15 years, Snapple grew slowly yet still managed to established markets on both the east and west coasts of the U.S. In the late 1980’s, with revenues reaching about $8 million in 1986, Snapple engaged a beverage industry sales and marketing veteran to professionally manage its next growth trajectory. Having
reflection of the culture and society of the American 1940’s and 50’s to the non-conformists, sets up madness as a central theme. The current generation had been “destroyed” by the dominating and militant American government, thus driving them into madness. Yet all the while, their desperation leads...
He begins this sonnet with the well known question “shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?”, and then comes right back with the answer “thou art more lovely and more temperate” (lines 1-2). However, though it seems that this is a beautiful and complimentary sonnet of love, the reality is soon evident – he does not believe that a day in the summertime is that great to begin with. The next six lines of the poem explain just that. Shakespeare uses many examples of qualities that are less than lovely
inferiority and family constraints but expressing that his love for her was not easily smothered and he had not been able to set aside his feelings. Lizzy immediately takes offense at this. If you consider the situation, Mr. Darcy’s proposal is actually complimentary. He loves her, and still wants to marry her despite every circumstance that would advise otherwise. But all Lizzy knows him for is a selfish, arrogant man, and she points out that his affections have been bestowed quite unwillingly. When proposing
completely undisturbed by the fact that at the same time there are influences that represent the guy on my left side seeing the guy on my right side. The light's there anyway…it bounces off this, and it bounces off that -- all this is going on, and yet we can sort it out with this instrument, our eye" (Introduction to Perception [Online]). As you can see by this quote, sight is a very complicated process that is easily controlled by our eyes. However, perceptual illusions need a little more explaining
Subjects with subtle differences which may otherwise get lumped together are broken off into separate fields and are then explored in intricate detail. Two social psychologists that have contributed greatly to the science and their separate yet complimentary fields of research are Dr.’s Burrhus Frederic Skinner and Sonja Lyubomirsky. Dr. Skinner was focused on human behavior and made great strides in that area of research, while Dr. Lyubomirsky’s research was conducted on human happiness. Though

People, in general, want to be led, but need to be managed. Leadership and management can often be mistaken as the same task, and although they are complimentary of each other, they are not the same skillset. Leadership is the ability to bring clarification on the vision, help others achieve their goals, and develop and inspire the people of the organization. Management, on the other hand, is the ability to make sure tasks are being completed, controlled, and monitored to run the organization effectively
based on time, and referring to the schools as warehouses makes students seem more artifacts than human beings, which is only of Gatto’s main points in the article. Later on, he labels the children as the ‘raw products’ of a factory; anything but complimentary. In fact, he blatantly insults one of the largest, most important aspects of the United States. He explains how students are being taught how to become employed and work ready rather
career opportunities, as it provides me with a broad range of skills which are strongly desired in a wide variety of jobs. I would really like a course that offers me the chance to be able to study a range of historical topics from a variety of different time periods. History has fascinated me since early childhood. I have always taken every
Formal Analysis of Masks by Emil Nolde Masks by Emil Nolde is an oil painting which is currently displayed at The Nelson-Atkins Museum in Kansas City Missouri. My first response to the still life painting was that of a very weird and bizarre, yet playful mood. The mischievous looking figures rendered with intense color, gave off a sense of horror without the dim dull color scheme typically portrayed in horror settings. At first glance, one could notice the eerie grin or grimace upon the countenance
