- Plasmodium is a vector for mosquitos. It is a protozoan that is the causal agent of malaria, which is responsible for killing as many 855,000 people in 2013, the majority of them being children. Populations of mosquitos are strongly influenced by the availability of standing water for egg-laying and larval development. How might mosquito density, and thereby human mortality, be affected by patterns of rainfall?arrow_forwardCrown-of-thorns starfish (often abbreviated as COTS; Acanthaster planci) is one of the largest sea stars in the world. It is also well known as a voracious predator of corals. Sudden outbreaks or swarms of this one species can rapidly consume an entire coral reef. Use internet resources to investigate recent research articles on the topic of crown-of-thorns starfish outbreaks on coral reefs. Where do these outbreaks occur? What impacts do they have on near-shore ecosystems? What causes these outbreaks? What management practices, if any, could be employed in response to COTS outbreaks?

D) temperature in Maine is too low. 5) In the Galapagos, the medium ground finch, Geospiza fortis, and large ground finch, Geospiza magnirostris, both live on the island Daphne Major. Scientists have studied these species and recorded detailed information, which includes observations about their diets and beak sizes. After a long period of drought, there were very few seeds available for both species to eat, and many of the finches died. The scientists who studied these birds observed that the average size of G. fortis beaks decreased dramatically during the years after the drought, whereas the average size of G. magnirostris beaks increased. G. fortis became specialized in eating very small seeds, whereas G. magnirostris…arrow_forward
