According to the article, frugivores affect their food plants and the plants' communities by: (Choose one.) Group of answer choices a.increasing dispersal of plant pathogens, which changes the composition and abundance of plant communities. b.preying on seeds of plants, which decreases the survivorship of plants and pushes their populations to extinction. c. increasing dispersal and germination of the plants, which influences the composition and abundance of plants in communities. d. increasing pollination of plants, which increases the abundance of plant hybrids in their communities. article reference: The Role of Mycangial Fungi Associated with Ambrosia Beetles (Euwallacea interjectus) in Fig Wilt Disease: Dual Inoculation of Fusarium kuroshium and Ceratocystis ficicola Can Bring Fig Saplings to Early Symptom Development

6. It is a criticism of many population ecologists that the pattern of population increase and subsequent crash of the deer population would have occurred even if the bounty had not been placed on the predators.

1. Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) is a species of fire-adapted grass that was Introduced by humans to the western United States in the 1880's. Fire-adapted specles not only survive frequent fires, some require fire to release nutrlents or allow seeds to germinate. The Great Basin Desert is characterized by sagebrush and cold temperatures. The Mojave Desert is characterized by creosote bush, cacti, and yucca plants and very hot temperatures. Both deserts get very infrequent ralnfall. Deserts are not fire- adapted ecosystems. Since Cheatgrass was introduced, It has invaded both the Great Basin and Mojave Deserts, where fires now occur as often as every 3 to 6 years. Select any statement that is likely to be true regarding the effects of the inrtoduction of cheatgrass. Fires destroy cheatgrass and halt its invasion. Desert plants will rapidly adapt to frequent fires. Cheatgrass seeds survive and spread with each fire cycle. The frequent fires help cheatgrass expand its range. Natural…

39. Mites are common pests on individual fence lizards. Mites are observed to bite fence lizards to draw a blood meal, which increases mite population growth rates. Fence lizards respond by scratching their heads to remove mites. The population growth rate of fence lizards is not impacted by this interaction although it appears to be negative for the fence lizards that have mites. What is the best explanation to account for the population growth pattern in fence lizards. a. the interaction is a +, - interaction b. the interaction is at the organism level c. the interaction is a altruism d. the interaction is at the population level e. the interaction is a mutualism
