No such thing, you may mean:

An Entomologist, a person who studies insects, or

An Etymologist, a person who studies the histories of words.

Why do plants and animals living in the water have a simpler reproductive system than those living on land?

Because the ones in water developed it first, and then when evolution moved some of those plants and animals onto land, they had to overcome the less accessto water. And in order to reproduce they had to develop more complex systems to 'mimic' the water environment. That is why all land animals exchange body fluids in the process of reproduction.


How do elaphants hear?

Elaphant's have ears that they can use to hear things.Breakiing News:It was reported in 2007 by a Stanford research associate Caitlin O'connell that elephants can hear through their feet. Yes, that's right...through their feet! Relying upon sound waves that travel within the surface of the ground rather than sound waves heard through the air. Until this discovery, scientists understanding of seismic communication was limited largely to smaller creatures such as rodents and insects. O'connell, an entymologist who was invited to study elephants in Ethiopia, was studying the large mammals to help farmers with the problem of elephants eating their entire field. While observing these elephants she noticed certain oddities about the way elephants seemed to listen. Normally, elephants hold their big floppy ears out like a parabola and scan them back and forth. But, when listening for vocalizations and far off noises these elephants would remain motionless, lean forward putting weight on their front legs, sometimes even lifting up one of their front feet. All of these elephants would do this simultaneously, which struck O'connell as far too coordinated to be coincidental. This discovery has led O'connell to research that indicates that elephants have a whole "modality of communication" not thought about by science until this discovery.Elephants also hear with their ears which, because of their size, allow them to hear infrasound as well as make such sounds. Researchers from the University of Sussex in Brighton along with the Ambroseli Elephant Research Project have suggested this ability to communicate with infrasound is not so important to elephants and the ability most likely comes from their size.


Is there a food chain with a mosquito in?

I found this website on the topic - http://www.gi.alaska.edu/ScienceForum/ASF7/723.html Below is the text cut and pasted: n these ecology-minded days, we are constantly reminded that everything has its place, and to disturb a single thread in Nature's fabric is to risk unraveling us all. Every link in the food chain is vital, we learn. Yet, during the moist days of early summer, it is difficult to find even the most dedicated environmentalist who will stand up for the pesky mosquito. Who needs it? What is it good for? Why was it ever invented? Even people who enjoy the graceful flight of swallows admit the birds can eat other insects--and note that mosquitoes are eager to dine on nestling swallows. A rather sketchy off-the-cuff sampling of opinions from several experts within the university system reveals that nobody is really sure what would happen if all the mosquitoes on earth were to disappear overnight. Since we'll never know, I'd like to list just a couple of the more interesting comments that I received. Dr. Richard (Skeeter) Werner, an entymologist with the Institute of Northern Forestry, feels that the mosquito probably plays its most important function as an aquatic link in the food chain of fish while it is still in its larval and pupal stages. Dr. Mark Oswood, a biologist with the University's Institute of Arctic Biology, agrees that the aquatic stages of the mosquito are probably when they are the most valuable in the animal food chain, and he also includes wading birds such as cranes as animals whose diets they supplement. Mosquitoes are also important pollinators, as a large part of their diet consists of plant nectar. But as a product in the animal food chain, Oswood puts the matter into neat perspective when he says that mosquito larvae might be pictured as: "small machines that transform algae, bacteria and organic matter into compact packages of protein." I forgot to ask what they transformed my blood into.
