In 2018 Rong Jiahuan and colleagues published a study concluding that ocean acidification has a strong effect on the behavior of Acanthopagrus schiegelii, a species of fish. However Jiahuan and colleagues' study relied on a mean sample size of only 15 fish. In a 2022 review of varlous scientists' conclusions about the impacts of ocean acidification on fish behavior, Josefin Sundin and colleagues caution that relying on such a relatively small sample size can increase the potential for biased analysis. Such analysis, in turn, can contribute to reports of exaggerated effects.

I keep telling Levi that my longer, bigger, and therefore vastly superior muscles require more intensive preparation for peak performance. The real reason, which he would think is dorky, is that I recite the correct anatomical name for each muscle as I stretch.

According to the text, what do octopuses use to protect themselves?
Animals use many objects as tools to achieve goals more easily. Such goals include grooming, finding food, and protecting themselves. For a long time, people thought tool use was unique to primates. Octopuses and other animals, though, have busted the myth that tool use requires hands. Inventively, octopuses use two halves of a seashell to provide protection or a place to hide. Palm cockatoos also get creative. They use leaves to pad their beaks when opening nuts.

Based on the text, what do many legal experts believe about the trademark "Frisbee" ?
Many people use the trademark "Frisbee" to refer generally to flying disc toys rather than specifically to products made by Wham-O, the company that owns the trademark. As many legal experts note, this may pose a problem for Wham-O. In the US, courts can cancel a trademark if they decide that its meaning is no longer specific to the trademark owner' s products. If "Frisbee" were judged to be a generic term, as "escalator" was, other companies would be free to use it to promote similar products, making it harder for Wham-O to stand out from competitors.
