Species in Two Communities Community 1 Community 2 E E E E £ Which statement best describes these two communities in terms of species richness, relative abundance, and biodiversity? о о O Both communities have the same species richness; however, community 2 has a higher relative abundance in all but one species and community 2 also has greater biodiversity than community 1. Community 1 has a dominant species, but has the same species richness, relative abundance, and species diversity as community 2. Both communities have the same species richness and biodiversity; however, community 1 has a higher relative abundance in all but one species when compared to community 1.

O The water that would otherwise filter through the coral polyps would become more dense with plankton. O There would be higher concentration of water pollution that could harm other organisms. O Timber production in surrounding land areas would decrease due to the lack of nutrients in the soil. O Humans would have more reason to visit the area in their boats.

CA least tern ENDANGERED ANIMAL is CA least tern questionbases on the bird CA least term Reasons for Endangerment Explain the various factors that have led to this species’ current plight. Expand on these points individually, based on your species’ unique story. Domino Effects As we’ve learned, species are not islands unto themselves; they are integrated with many other organisms in trophic relationships, mutualisms, competition, etc. How is the absence of this species (or its lowered population size) likely to impact the other members of its habitat? (If findings specific to this point are available, please include them – otherwise, I’m asking you to speculate based on what you’ve learned about the biology of this organism.) Conservation Efforts Discuss past, current, and proposed efforts to conserve this species. Are these strategies effective? Are they realistic? What is the outlook for this organism?
Conservation status of specieschanges often as new threatsarise and current threatssubside. Fish and marine lifeare often threatened by humanactivities such as overfi shing,pollution of ocean and freshwater habitats, and climatechanges.

2N5 1000 S 100 W 10 Regional Plankton Biomass Medyou 1980s 3 1990s Year (Courtesy of NOAA) The graph shows the fluctuating values of regional plankton biomass in three locations off the east coast of the United States. Georges Bank is located off of Cape Cod, the Middle Atlantic Bight is located offshore of Virginia and northern North Carolina, and the Gulf of Maine is located off the coast of New England. Which of the following statements is the most likely reason for the productivity trends seen for the Gulf of Maine? e -Middle Atlantic Bight -Georges Bank-Gulf of Maine d O The area has fewer large predators like sharks. O The area has fewer animals that eat plankton. The area gets hit less by hurricanes so the ocean water mixes less. O The area gets more intense sunlight than the other areas.
