What factors play a role in determining the range (area) in which a particular species lives?
Choose All That Apply
O the capacity to acclimate to climatic conditions
the ability to find food and avoid being eaten
the location of patches of resources within the geographic area
the ability to find mates
the underlying genetic variability of a particular population
Suppose that in maroon-fronted parrots, the number of chicks born each year in a population is compared to the number of
predators in the same area.
Correlation coefficient = -0.1
Number of predators
Describe the type and strength of the relationship between number of chicks and predators.

Based on Darwin's ideas of descent with modification and natural selection, observation would best support the idea increased competition causes changes in a species ?
A population of rattlesnake goes extinct as the water resources in their environment dry up during an extreme, prolonged drought
A population of frogs develop greener skin after a hurricane blows away the white flowers the environment
A population of artic foxes develop a brown fur color as warmer temperatures reduce the number of days of snowfall in the area
A population deer show an increase in antler size over time, which allows them to obtain more mates during mating season
