Insectivora is a taxonomic grouping that was used to describe insect-eating mammals like armadillos, hedgehogs, moles, and anteaters. The taxonomy of these animals has beea revised in recent years, and Insectivora is no longer widely accepted because this group of organisms lacks one common ancestor and is instead descended from several ancestors. Which term best describes Insectivora? A. Polyphyletic B. Monophyletic C. Haplophyletic D. Paraphyletic

Sea urchins, in turn, feed on kelp. A study was conducted to determine the effect that Enhydra lutris has on kelp biodiversity. To do so, three O Conferences DBQ Online bays that have had sea otter populations for varying amounts of time were I Newsela assessed.

It can also be used to demonstrate species richness and evenness.

Pollution of streams, on the other hand, reduces the diversity of Trichoptera and several other groups of stream insects, reducing both species richness and species diversity. Interpret why those happened. These rank-abundance curves show that the mountain stream caddisfly community has higher species richness and greater species evenness. 0.1 - Mountain stream 0.01 Greater richness and species evenness 0,001 Coastal ponds 0.0001 20 40 60 80 Abundance rank Figure 1: Rank-abundance curve for caddisflies (Order Trichoptera) of two aquatic habitats in northern Portugal (data from L.S.W.
