You are put in charge of running a macropodid animal shelter in Australia. You aregiven a fixed budget (say $10K/month) to cover food purchase. (All other expenses areprovided by the local government, and daily animal care is provided free of charge byvolunteers.) You must decide what species of macropodids you will look after: brush-tailed bettongs (B), tammar wallabies (W) or red kangaroos (K). Your sole criterion inthe decision is to support the greatest biomass, i.e., (number of animals) * (animal bodymass) per month. Which species do you choose and why? Explain your choice withcalculations.You can assume all three macropodids stay in good health, subsist on the same diet,and neither species breeds in captivity.If you had a choice between looking after wallabies or pythons (of same body mass),which one would be cheaper and why? How could you reduce the cost of care of eachof these two species?

Please help I will give a good rating I am evolving a tiger and this is the breakdown of it Lives in the tropic environment --> Be able to adapt to an extremely cold environment A bit of a loner --> Might not prioritize mating and are susceptible to poachers as it will be difficult to protect themselves when attacked. Likes to eat large animals, larger than them. This means they are in danger when hunting for food and also their choice of food is limited --> Be able to eat smaller animals. There is more variety to choose from smaller kinds of animals and less dangerous. Please make a detailed explanation of how the process would be and please include materials that is needed and make it step by step

In spadefoot toads there are two forms of the tadpoles: omnivores and carnivores. Environmental factors such as population density, oxygen concentration, and availability of food determine which form any particular tadpole takes. Consider the situation below. A single pair of toads produces a fertilized group of eggs in a pond. The pond dries a bit creating two separate ponds, one is deep and the other is shallow. All the tadpoles in the deep pond become omnivores and all the tadpoles in the deep pond become carnivores. There is a heavy rain and the ponds become connected again and the two groups of tadpoles mix together. The carnivores eat most of the omnivores and more of the carnivores become adult toads This is an example of Group of answer choices A. natural selection and evolution B. evolution only C. natural selection only

Consider the effects of the same climate change scenario (+3°C) for a small frog with high cutaneous resistance, Litoria bicolor and cane toads Rhinella marina . The characteristics of the 3 species are show in the table below. The main differences among these 3 spreadsheets are the body masses and cutaneous resistances. Another difference is that, unlike Litoria caerulea, the other two species are assumed to be outside during the day rather than in a tree hollow. The wind speed inside a hollow is very low, and the humidity is higher. But the air temperatures are the same for all 3 models. Under the climate change scenario, were these 2 species exposed to lethal conditions for either water loss or body temperature? Species Mass (g) Cutaneous resistance (s/cm) Critical Thermal Maximum Temperature (°C) Litoria caerulea 50 14 37.5 Litoria bicolor 1 63 41.0 Rhinella marina 1, 50 or 500 1.7 37.5
