Which of the following best predicts the consequences of introducing small Indian mongoose to an island where they did not previously exist?( Invasive species) (Choice A) A The mongoose population will grow rapidly, disrupting the island's community structure by preying on native animals. (Choice B) B The mongoose population size will likely remain small, and as a result the mongoose population will not be able to outcompete other predator populations for resources. (Choice C) Without any natural diseases, the mongoose population will become established and help increase the species diversity of the island. (Choice D) D Without its typical food sources, the mongoose population will not be able to become established, and the island ecosystem will remain stable. answer explain

True or False? a) In Lotka-Volterra competition models, coexistence CANNOT occur if interspecific competition is stronger than intraspecific competition. b)There are three types of survivorship curves that describe mortality rates at different age classes. A type I survivorship curve describes a population with low juvenile mortality, while a type III survivorship curve describes a population with high juvenile mortality.
What is the Predator Release Hypothesis? Explain how it works. What is ONE principle or idea that we studied in this course that can be illustrated using it (other than predation). Explain how the predator release hypothesis fits into that idea.
https://media.hhmi.org/biointeractive/click/lionfish-invasion/introduction.html This section starts explaining how scientists use the population survey data that are collected to model how the lionfish population changes over time. These models enable scientists to make predictions about population changes, which is an important element of developing plans for managing the lionfish population You'll be using the discrete-time logistic model that is described on this page in future parts of the case study, so make sure to carefully read through the explanation of this mathematical model. Even if you don't have a strong math background, this case study walks through the equation step by step. 6)Which of the following are constant terms in the discrete-time logistic model? choose all that apply a)Nt b)ΔN c)t d)K e)Δt f)rmax,d g)None of these
Lake Mendota is a lake with high levels of nutrient input from agriculture that has the potential to fuel blooms of phytoplankton. In 2009 the invasive spiny water flea Bythotrephes (native to Europe and Asia) was first detected in the lake. In the figure, the food web for Lake Mendota prior to the invasion is on the left, and after the invasion on the right. Bythotrephes is a more effective predator of the herbivorous zooplankton Daphnia than the native planktivorous perch (represented by the large red arrows between Bythotrephes and Daphnia), and perch consume Bythotrephes at much lower rates than they do Daphnia (represented by the small red arrows between perch and Bythotrephes).

You are watching a documentary on television about grizzly bears in North America. The narrator is speaking over a clip of two cubs and their mother walking along a riverbank in a heavily wooded forest. She says that grizzly bear populations are rising for the first time in several decades even though deforestation is still a growing problem in North America. Which of the following could be a possible factor for the increase in the grizzly population? Loss of habitat Reduction of resources Increased industrialization Higher birth rate over death rate
A population of 1,492 finches is introduced to a rainforest. Over the next year, the finches showa death rate of 0.395 while the population drops to 1,134. What's the birth rate for this population? Is this proving to be a suitable habitat? (Two answers) O Yes, this is a suitable habitat. The birth rate is higher than the death rate. D No, this is not a suitable habitat. The birth rate is much lower than the death rate. 589 -358 a 0.155 O 0.845 Which of the following is true of a population approaching its carrying capacity?
