Gina Chavis and Alex Medlin Refuge Changes That Will Increase the Gopherus Polyphemus Population Introduction In recent times, many species are rapidly decreasing in population size, and scientists believe that we are going through the biggest and most rapid mass extinction known to man. The main reason for species demise is habitat loss due to human encroachment on land. One species greatly affected by habitat loss and other issues is the Gopher Tortoise. In the Endangered Species Act in 1987, Gopher Tortoises were becoming extinct because of extensive population declines (Jones & Dorr, 2004).

Etruscan civilization
While the traditional view of Roman artists is that they often borrowed from, and copied Greek precedents (much of the Greek sculpture known today is in the form of Roman marble copies), more recent analysis has indicated that Roman art is a highly creative pastiche relying heavily on Greek models but also encompassing Etruscan, native Italic, and even Egyptian visual culture. Stylistic eclecticism and practical application are the hallmarks of much Roman art.
