- Subject (Biology - Ecology) Discuss the relationship of predation in the extinction of some animals.arrow_forwardYou visit a medium-sized Caribbean island and identify 4 species of anole lizard. Consider the 3 possible scenarios below. You return to the island a number of years after each of these scenarios. Explain which outcome below (i to iii) you expect for each scenario and briefly justify your prediction. 3-4 sentences for each scenario. (i) An increase in the number of anole species (ii) A decrease in the number of anole species (iii) No change in the number of anole species A) Scenario A: Scenario A: A new virus is introduced, which causes all the anoles to become colour blind. B) Scenario B: An earthquake separates the island into two islands. C) Scenario C: An invasive herbivorous insect species is introduced to the island, which devastates many plant species and causes the habitat to become much less complex.arrow_forwardGive typing answer with explanation and conclusion Consider this claim: Changes in environmental conditions always result in new ecosystems and loss of biodiversity characterized by an increase in the number of some species, the evolution of new species, and the extinction of some species. Use what you have learned from the lesson, as well as reliable and reputable resources, to evaluate this claim. Use at least three examples from the lesson and other sources to support the valid ideas in the claim and refute the invalid?arrow_forward

To be successful, which action would this conservationist most likely carry out in these freshwater rock pools? a. Connecting vulnerable pools by making dispersal corridors to the ocean b.Separating the smallest pools from the largest to prevent immigration c.Removing the shortest-lived Daphnia species from all pools d.Separating pools so the Daphnia cannot mix with one another e.Connecting vulnerable pools by making dispersal corridors between themarrow_forwardCan you please elaborate/explain this research title Species Diversity of House-dwelling lizards in Cagayan De Oro Cityarrow_forwardThe vertical distribution of five hypothetical warbler species in a coniferous forest showing the locations where individuals belonging to each species were recorded.

- Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion A group of evolutionary biologists measure population structure in migratory birds and non migratory birds. In one species they estimate Fst as 0.71, and in the other they measure Fst as 0.05. Which species is the migratory species? A. the species with higher population structure B. The species low population structure C. Neither because migration would result in negative values D. You cannot tell because migration is dispersal not gene flow.arrow_forwardYou visit a medium-sized Caribbean island and identify 4 species of anole lizard. Consider the 3 possible scenarios below.
