1. There are six species of animals in an area at the end of Thunder Bay. The area is wooded land covering rolling hills with two small rivers. Most of the area is surrounded by farmland where people have sheep and cows. There are three roads in the area, one of which leads to an expanding subdivision.

What abiotic factor is changing the ecosystem of Lake Washington, and how has this factor changed over time? 2. Explain how this change has affected the mixing of warm and cold water in the lake. How does this in turn affect fish? 3. This report suggests that global warming is a primary contributor to the increased temperature in the lake. What does this suggest about other lake ecosystems in the northwest coniferous forest? 4. Briefly describe a food chain in Lake Washington. 5.1f the zooplankton population is decreasing in Lake Washington, what do you think is happening to the salmon population? Explain your answer

Testing Biological Control Biological control agents are used to battle red imported fire ants. Researchers have enlisted the help of Thelohania solenopsae, a natural enemy of the ants. This microsporidian (Section 23.4) is a parasite that infects ants and shrinks the ovaries of the colony's egg-producing female (the queen). As a result, a colony dwindles in numbers. Are these biological controls useful against imported fire ants? To find out, USDA scientists treated infested areas with either traditional pesticides or pesticides plus biological controls (both flies and the parasite). The scientists left some plots untreated as controls. FIGURE 45.16 shows the results. FIGURE 45.16 A comparison of two methods of controlling red imported fire ants. The graph shows the numbers of red imported fire ants over a 28-month period. Orange triangles represent untreated control plots. Green circles are plots treated with pesticides alone. Black squares are plots treated with pesticide and biological control agents (parasitoid flies and a microsporidian parasite). How did population size in the two types of treated plots change during this same interval?
