Use the following passage to answer the next 5 questions.You are studying the intertidal zone of a previously unstudied island. You find three species of barnacles on the rocks. Species A is most abundant in the upper intertidalzone, Species B in the middle, and Species C in the lower, as shown below.Species A dominatesUpper intertidal zoneSpecies B dominatesMiddle intertidal zoneSpecies C dominatesLower intertidal zoneQ6. You conduct an exclusion experiment: You locate three experimental areas on rock faces that are the same size and span all three intertidal zones (upper,middle, and lower). In each experimental area, you exclude all but one species of barnacle for the duration of the experiment, as illustrated in the diagrambelow.The diagram also shows the numbers of individuals for the unexcluded species in each intertidal zone at the end of your experiment.

The area where the ocean meets the land is known as the intertidal zone.

Species A and B compete with Species C in the upper intertidal zone. All three species are equally well adapted to all three habitats. Species C may lack the adaptations necessary to survive in the upper intertidal zone. Species A has the best adaptations to all three zones.

Species A and B compete with Species C in the upper intertidal zone. All three species are equally well adapted to all three habitats. Species C may lack the adaptations necessary to survive in the upper intertidal zone. Species A has the best adaptations to all three zones.

Approximately 14,000 years ago, the climate in North America began to warm rapidly. At the same time, human hunters migrated to the continent. Which of these most likely resulted from a combination of these two factors? an increase in the rate of large mammal extinctions a reduction in the rate of species change an increase in the amount of interspecies cooperation a reduction in the total number of small parasitic insects
Since different species of penguin may occupy the same habitat, explain why they may continue to remain separate species.
The dams that have been built on most rivers (two-thirds of the world's rivers do not run free) often stabilize river flow by increasing flows below the dams during droughts and degreasing the amount of flooding during periods of high rainfall. Using the intermediate disturbance hypothesis , predict how stabilizing flows would affect the diversity of river organisms below reservoirs .

Upper Intertidal Zone Lower Intertidal Zone Balonus kalenvides Chthamalus scellatus The diagram above shows the distribution of two species of barnacle in the intertidal region of the Isle of Cumbrae. Scotland. What is the unusual and interesting pattern Connell noticed in the distribution pattern? O The two species were found together in the intertidal zone. O The two species' distributions were mixed in the intertidal zone. The two species' distributions formed horizontal bands in the intertidal zone that did not overlap. O The two species' distributions formed horizontal bands in the intertidal zone with a large area of overlap where the two species were found coexisting together.
Most marine biologists hypothesize that space, not food, limits populations in the rocky intertidal. What kind of experiments could be performed to test this hypothesis?
SCENARIO: Ecologists have recently made an observation regarding a species of nematode (round worm) commonly found in Australian soils with two distinct phenotypes appearing, the mutant form appears to have increased cuticle formation. This species is a crucial part of their ecosystem’s food web and is a predator of many soil microbes. The divergent phenotype appears to negatively affect its predatory behaviour, which could have disastrous flow on effects to the rest of the ecosystem. Preliminary studies also indicate this phenotype has a genetic basis, so is not caused by infection. You have been tasked with uncovering the genetic basis of this phenotype. Q6. Given the phenotype leads to a negative impact on the nematode’s predatory behaviour, develop a hypothesis as to why this phenotype is increasing among the population (i.e. it is being positively selected for): Q7. Briefly describe an experiment you could use to test this hypothesis:
Gray whales ( Eschrichtius robustus) gather each winter near BajaCalifornia to give birth. How might such behavior make it easierfor ecologists to estimate birth and death rates for the species?
