Asap please
Elaborate whether there is any extinction risk/conservation efforts being applied to dogs. If so, why? If not, why not? Thank you.
Background
As an expert in the field of mammalian reproductive strategies, you have been hired by the Department of
Nature and Island Resources of the West Indies. This organization is a cooperative of several West Indies
islands concerned with the loss of biological diversity on their island nations as tourism and development
continue to grow. Scientists working on the island of St. Kitts and its sister island Nevis have uncovered what
appears to be a previously undiscovered species of rodent.
Based on the original description of this animal, it was placed in a genus within the squirrel family. What
you have been hired to do is to help save the population on St. Kitts, which is small and threatened by
development. The population is so small that individuals are having difficulty finding mates and, in many
cases, the reproductive seasons are being delayed by up to one year. When you arrive in the region and begin
your observations, you notice that the Nevis population is very healthy…

- Respond to the following paragraph below? I've been thinking a lot about the theories of why humans evolved to become bipedal, and have been watching a lot of specials on YouTube. One of the things that interests me, is one of the ancient human ancestors evolved to be a mixed form of bipedal and not. I find that extremely interesting, because at the time that this being lived Africa was still largely covered in dense jungle/forest and the being still has to climb trees. It was the perfect inbetween of humans and apes or chimps. There was still some m grabbing capability in its feet to allow it to imb trees, but was also able to straighten and reach for higher places. In the video the theory is that these primitive apes needed to reach higher food that others weren't able to, and also had to carry the food for longer distances. One thing that continues from this was the African landscape starting to shift from jungle to savana. With walking upright, they took less heat from the sun,…arrow_forwardHello!

- Tiger Moths produce high pitched ultrasonic clicking when they hear the echolocation calls of bats and we know that bats eat moths. As a result, the bat's sonar is jammed and the Tiger Moth escapes without being caught, killed, and eaten. Please use your knowledge of Evolution by Natural Selection to explain the process by which this remarkable anti-predator defense evolved in Tiger Moths. Please help me with this question! Thank you.arrow_forwardi need the answer quicklyarrow_forwardPlease choose on of the best answer that fits for this multiple choice question, Thank you 1)Consider a predator-prey relationship between crabs and sea snails. The crabs use their claws and jaws to crack open the shells of the sea snails, and so, by the principle of natural selection, any snail with a thicker shell would have an advantage and thicker shells would become more abundant. This in turn would create a selective pressure for stronger claws and jaws in the crabs, which in turn would give a selective advantage to snails with even thicker shells. This type of interaction between predators and prey is an example of A)secondary succession B) coevolution C)primary succession D)symbiosis E)competitionarrow_forward
- Please answer fast Given that primates are so well adapted to their environments, why are so many of them endangered? Why is the survival of non-human primate species important for the environment and what can be done to prevent their extinction?arrow_forwardHello, I need help answering number 1 a, b, & c using the graph below. Pls & thank you 1. a) Is it possible that the larger brain size of the gorilla is just a correlated response to selection for a larger body size in the gorilla (compared to the body size of the chimpanzee)? Does the information in the graph support or falsify this claim? b) Fossil evidence shows that it was not until the evolution of Homo erectus that the brain size in hominins really began to increase relative to body size. The range in brain size of early Homo erectus to late Homo erectus increased from 700 cc to 1000 cc (similar to the gram scale on the y-axis). This includes most of the 3x increase of brain size from Australopithecus to Homo sapiens. But Homo erectus was about the height of modern humans. Does the graph show that brain size in H. erectus increased faster than body size even though H. erectus was taller than Australopithecus? How can you tell? c) Homo floresiensis (the 3.5 ft-tall…arrow_forwardPlease answer fast The human revolution may be characterized as ____.
