GRAPH: In the example below, four bird species consume insects of various sizes. The mean and standard deviations of insects consumed are displayed. Bird Species Mean ± standard deviation of insects consumed (mm) Buchman's Warbler 1.7 + 1.3 House Sparrow Blue Jay Piliated Woodpecker 3.7 ± 2.2 According to the concept of niche partitioning and the d/w 6.0 + 4.4 11.5 ± 4.0 analysis, which pair of species should be able to coexist? O A. Buchman's warblers and house sparrows O B. blue jays and piliated woodpeckers O C. Buchman's warblers and blue jays O D. house sparrows and piliated woodpeckers

Select the statements that are reasonable interpretations of this figure regarding the hatching success of Leather Back Sea Turtles. Annual hatching success 1.0 0.8 0.6 0.4 0.2 o Hatching success ● Precipitation O O C L 700 600 500 400 300 200 100 0.0 O 1980 1984 1988 1992 1996 2000 2004 2008 2012 Seasonal precipitation (mm) O Hatching success does not appear to be affected by precipitation O There appears to be less variation in precipitation over time than in hatching success O Precipitation decreased between 1980 and 2012 and that appears to be correlated to reduction in hatching success over that time Changing temperatures are the cause of declining hatching success There appears to be more variation in precipitation than in hatching success over time Relyea, Ecology, 9e, 2021 W.

Interpret the following graphs: In the graphs, the number of days are 18.. 1 day is equal to 60 sec. days are taken on x-axis. The mean foraging times are taken on y-axis.

To create a survivorship curve for the Andean condor: Graph Title: Survivorship Curve for Andean Condor Y-axis: Labeled "Survivorship" with indicators for "Low," "Medium," and "High" levels, ranging from 0 to 100% of the total initial cohort size. X-axis: Labeled "Life Span" with stages "Young" (0-5 years), "Middle-aged" (6-37 years), and "Old" (38-75 years). Key Features of the Curve:   Begins high, reflecting near-total survival from birth to maturity due to low mortality and protected upbringing. remains flat and high through the middle age, indicating sustained low mortality. shows a steep decline in old age, representing increased mortality as individuals reach the latter part of their lifespan.

Summarise in words the information presented in the graph.

Describe the trends in global fish capture from 1950 to 1990 and from 1990 to 2016.  Describe several factors that account for these trends

Which of the following would have the largest capture efficiency in the Lotka-Volterra model of predator-victim interactions? A caterpillar eating a plant A bat eating mosquitoes A small tarantula wasp eating a much larger tarantula A killer whale eating a seal Which of the following is NOT an assumption of the Lotka-Volterra model of predator-victim interactions? Prey have limited resource availability No age, stage or size structure in the population Continuous population growth (no pulses or lags) Victims and predators encounter each other at random Predator is a complete specialist O O

https://media.hhmi.org/biointeractive/click/lionfish-invasion/introduction.html This section starts explaining how scientists use the population survey data that are collected to model how the lionfish population changes over time. These models enable scientists to make predictions about population changes, which is an important element of developing plans for managing the lionfish population You'll be using the discrete-time logistic model that is described on this page in future parts of the case study, so make sure to carefully read through the explanation of this mathematical model. Even if you don't have a strong math background, this case study walks through the equation step by step.   6)Which of the following are constant terms in the discrete-time logistic model? choose all that apply a)Nt b)ΔN c)t d)K e)Δt f)rmax,d g)None of these

Use r and/or λ value, to describe the effects of climate change and human activity on mortality of plant and animal species.
