Summary Introduction

Introduction:

In the biological world, there are different places where a species of an organism lives. These places can be either too far from each other, or too close to each other. There can be some interaction between the components of these places. Different organisms depending upon their needs acquire different benefits from the place where they live.

Answer to Problem 1SA

Correct answer:

A place where a species typically lives is called its habitat. Hence, the correct answer is option b.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for correct answer:

Option b. is given as “habitat.”

A place where a species is typically found is called the habitat of that species. Any species gets the important resources that are necessary for its survival from its habitat only. There are different types of habitat where different species live. Depending on the type of habitat, species adapt themselves to survive.

Reason for incorrect answer:

Option a. is given as, “niche.”

In ecology, a niche refers to the role and the responsibilities that are performed by any species in its environment. It includes the interaction of a species with the biological and non-biological components present in its environment. Hence, option a. is incorrect.

Option c. is given as, “community.”

A community comprises of different populations of different species that are present in same geographical vicinity at the same time. Hence, option c. is incorrect.

Option d. is given as, “population.”

Population refers to the number of individuals that are living together in the same geographical location. The population can be varied for different areas and from time to time. Hence, option d. is incorrect.

Hence, the options a., c., and d. are incorrect.

Conclusion

A habitat is a place where a species typically live in an ecosystem. Thus, the correct option is b.

Using information from the primary literature (several references have been provided as a starting point below) please answer the following question: Based on your review of the literature on rewilding, what are the major scientific pros and cons for rewilding?   Please note that the focus of this assignment are the (biological) scientific issues associated with rewilding. As will be discussed in class, there are a number of non-scientific issues involved or implicated in rewilding, all ultimately affecting the public acceptability of rewilding. Although these issues are important – indeed, critical – in this assignment you should focus on the biological science issues and questions.   Details: You must enumerate at least two pros and at least two cons. Your answer should be no more than 500 well-chosen words, excluding references. Think carefully about how best to organize and structure your answer. Aim for high information density: say a lot, but say it succinctly. Recall Nietzche’s…
