Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) bloom on Lake Erie (United States) in 2009. These kinds of algae can cause harmful algal bloom. A harmful algal bloom (HAB), or excessive algae growth, is an algal bloom that causes negative impacts to other organisms by production of natural algae-produced toxins, water deoxygenation, mechanical damage to other organisms, or by other means.
Oxygen concentrations in the atmosphere remained around or below 0.001% of today's level until 2.4 Ga ago (the Great Oxygenation Event). [174] The rise in oxygen may have caused a fall in the concentration of atmospheric methane, and triggered the Huronian glaciation from around 2.4 to 2.1 Ga ago. In this way, cyanobacteria may have killed off ...
Diurnality, plant or animal behavior characterized by activity during the day and sleeping at night. Cathemeral, a classification of organisms with sporadic and random intervals of activity during the day or night. Matutinal, a classification of organisms that are only or primarily active in the pre-dawn hours or early night.
The name 'kissing bug' doesn't quite communicate the danger of the infection that insects with that moniker can spread.

Some crepuscular animals may also be active by moonlight or during an overcast day. Matutinal animals are active only after dawn, and vespertine only before dusk. A number of factors affect the time of day an animal is active. Predators hunt when their prey is available, and prey try to avoid the times when their principal predators are at large.
And while it’s nearly impossible to avoid at this time of year, the second most dangerous song, according to the coverage kings, is “All I Want For Christmas Is You”, by the Queen of ...
Many types of animals are classified as being diurnal, meaning they are active during the day time and inactive or have periods of rest during the night time. [1] Commonly classified diurnal animals include mammals, birds, and reptiles. [2] [3] [4] Most primates are diurnal, including humans. [5]
