In 1-2 sentences for each ecological change and in your own words, explain any two of the four ways the resulting ecological changes have affected salmon populations.
Determine whether these groups of animals are exhibiting the dilution effect.
The brown bears that inhabit the Kodiak islands of Alaska eat a wide variety of foods, including berries, leaves, and insects. One of their main food sources, though, is the salmon that swims upstream to spawn in the fall. Great numbers of bears gather in and ; around the streams to hunt the large schools of traveling salmon. There are so many fish moving upstream in the fall that the bears cannot catch them all.
1)Kodiak bears gathering at streams for the salmon run 2)Salmon moving upstream in large schools

Carrying Capacity If a population is small and resources are plentiful, a population may grow quickly. But over time, because of limiting factors, population growth tends to slow and then stop. The population has reached the "carrying capacity" of the ecosystem. Female cottontail rabbits (Sylvilagus floridanus) are especially fertile, able to give birth to seven litters a year. While this would suggest areas with cottontail rabbits would be overrun by them, this isn't the case. Rabbit populations are restricted by factors like food availability and predation. Due to these limiting factors the rabbit population will only get so big and that is it's carrying capacity. Carrying capacity can fluctuate depending on the limiting factors. If there is more predation or little food, then the carrying capacity will be lower. If there is little…arrow_forwardT or farrow_forward
