- NOTE: The image you need to see in order to answer this question is attachedA developer owns the property encompassing the three habitats above. By law, one of the habitats must be left intact to satisfy the zoning laws. The developer works with an environmental engineer to choose which of the habitats should be saved. The environmental engineer suggests that Site C should be saved. Which of the following choices best justifies this decision?Responses A) Site C has greater species richness and species evenness than either Site A or Site B. This will promote the maximum sustainability for future generations of animals. B) Site C is tied with Site A for greatest species richness, but unlike Site A, it has representative species from all 3 of the sites within it. C) Site C not only contains the greatest number of species, it also has the greatest genetic diversity within each species. D) Site C has more unique species in it than either Site A or Site Barrow_forwardThe thought of human settlements began the planning thought.

- Do you think it is important for archaeological sites to be protected from development once they are discovered? What are the pros and cons of each side of this issue? Once discovered, should artifacts be left as they are, or removed and displayed for others to learn about? What are the pros and cons of each option? How can cultural or societal influences affect the progression of scientific discovery? Do those influences normally have a positive or negative effect on science's ability to advance?arrow_forwardQuestion 4A. According to the core-satellite hypothesis, ______________.

- What is a common ecological consequence of biotic homogenization? Group of answer choices: A. Reduced ecosystem function and services B. Formation of new ecological niches C. Enhanced genetic diversity within local populations D. Increased ecosystem resilience and stabilityarrow_forwardThe Burmese Python, an invasive species, has been introduced to the Florida Everglades, largely through release by owners who acquired the snakes from exotic pet traders. Though the Everglades are protected, pythons as predators can not be easily controlled. What can be concluded about the effect of the python population on the biodiversity of the Everglades? A. Since the Everglades are protected, python control is limited under laws that protect species in the Everglades. B. Since the python population is growing, it will eventually become a native species and will increase biodiversity. C. Since pythons prey on many species in the Everglades, resources will be more available for surviving species and fewer will be considered endangered. D. Since pythons have no predators, they are responsible for decreasing mammal population and are a greater threat to biodiversity.arrow_forwardWhat geopolitical problems does northwestern Europe face today and what solutions have been proposedarrow_forward
