In Glacier Sea over the past 5 years the moon jelly population has been INCREASING. How will the walleye pollock population be affected?
Mongooses are not native to Hawaii. They were intentionally introduced on all of the islands in 1883 by sugarcane farmers to control rat populations on sugar plantations. They have since greatly increased their population on some islands, while no populations of mongooses are found on the islands of Lana’i and Kaua’i. Which of the following correctly identifies a challenge mongooses would face if they were introduced onto these two islands?
A - There is a lack of rats and other food sources on these islands.
B - These two islands have no forest reserves compared to the other islands.
C - These islands contain no natural predators for mongooses so they would overpopulate.
D - These two islands contain native species of birds and reptiles that would compete with the mongooses.
You are observing two different species of caterpillars feeding on green shrubs in the Sacramento Mountains. One has bright red and yellow stripes, the other is a nondescript greenish color. You hypothesize that the two species have adopted different antipredation strategies. 1) What would these two strategies be called? 2) Which species would you predict is noxious to potential predators and which species is palatable? 3) Which species would you predict would alter its behavior more in the presence of predators? Why?

Over the next year, the finches show a 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) a) Yes, this is a suitable habitat. The birth rate is higher than the death rate. b) No, this is not a suitable habitat.

There is growing concern that a chemical spill on a nearby freeway could pollute the spring and wipe out the species. To provide a source of salamanders to repopulate the spring in the event of such a catastrophe, a proposal has been made to establish a captive breeding population of the salamander in a local zoo. The zoo was asked to provide a plan for establishing this captive breeding population, with the goal of maintaining as much of the genetic variation of the species as possible in the captive population. What factors are likely to lead to a loss of genetic variation in the captive population?arrow_forward
