The Earth is currently experiencing the sixth mass extinction event. Conservation efforts attempt to identify and focus on the species most at risk of going extinct. Which characteristics make species more vulnerable to extinction? species that have a generalized diet species that have a small population size species that are not negatively affected by introduced species species that are used by humans for food and clothing species that have a long life span

A glacier formed thousands of years ago separating a population of mammals that diverged into two different species. At the end of the ice age, the glacier melted, creating a zone of overlap where the two species could now interact and reproduce. The is an example of a zone. reinforcement hybrid postzygotic convergent diverpent
Extinction Match the following items. NOTE: If you want to change your selection, you'll need to delete the one you already chose. After you delete it, the list of choices will pop back up and you can make a different choice. Sudden, dramatic loss of biodiversity mass extinction Routine loss of biodiversity; about 1 per million species years background extinction

One of the biggest threats to biodiversity is habitat loss and fragmentation. You have money to purchase 100 acres for a nature preserve and decide to purchase several, small tracts of land (rather than a single large tract). Which of the following statements would support this strategy? Small areas have relatively lower extinction rates than large areas. Several smaller preserves would help protect against a major disturbance. Smaller areas have a lower edge effect (circumference:area). Several smaller preserves would help protect very large species.
Explain what this illustration is trying to convey, and why two indices (Levin’s Normalized Niche Breadth, and Feinsinger’s Proportional Similarity Index) are required
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
The Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973 has helped to slow the destruction of habitat and the loss of species in the United States. There are now many success stories of animals/plants that were on the edge of extinction and now are returning. Even with the success stories there are many who criticize ESA. I want you to give at least 2 examples (with explanation) that show the success and need for The Endangered Species Act. And give 2 reasons why ESA is still criticized after all these years.
You arrive on an alien planet and settle down to live there for a long time. There are very few species. Two of the species (A and B) are sometimes common and sometimes rare. When you start keeping track of population changes you discover that the population sizes fluctuate on a regular cycle in close synchrony. Species B always increases first, followed by species A. Which of the following would be the best explanation for what you are seeing? Group of answer choices -Species A is a predator and there is a time lag between changes in the density of its prey and species A's population change -Species A is a predator and it can respond instantly to changes in its prey population -Species B is a predator and there is a time lag between changes in the density of its prey and species B's population change -Species B is a predator and it can respond instantly to changes in its prey population
