Figure 45.10b If the major food source of the seals declines due to pollution or overfishing, which of the following would likely occur? The carrying capacity of seals would decrease, as would the seal population. The carrying capacity of seals would decrease, but the seal population would remain the same. The number of seal deaths would increase but the number of births would also increase, so the population size would remain the same. The carrying capacity of seals would remain the same, but the population of seals would decrease.

9) If the population of hawks in this area increases, their prey populations might decrease. Later, with fewer prey, the hawk population might decrease. The prey populations might then increase. This is an example of

1. If a group of predators is added to a community with a population of prey that is growing logisitically and has reached carrying capacity, what will happen to the population of prey over time? a. It will ultimately increase as the prey become healthier due to the presence of predators b. It will drop until all the prey is wiped out c. It will drop, before increasing and then dropping again in a cycle d. It will drop, reaching a new, lower carrying capacity You are testing whether or not there is a difference between the weights of heaitny mke, and those infected with the mouse equivalent of COVID-19. You notice that the sick mice tend to have lower weight. To see if this is statistically significant, you run a t- test. What are your null and alternative hypotheses? Choose the best answer. a. Null: Slck mice have lower weights than healthy mice; Alternative: There is no difference between the groups b. Null: There is no difference between the groups; Alternative: There is a…

1. Giving up density is a way to measure the conditions under which an animal is willing to experience risks in feeding. One way to approach an GUD experiment is to mix food in with inedible particles, then to measure what percent of the mix is food when an animal stops collecting or eating food. How could this method be used to study optimal foraging conditions? 2 wk
