In the pre-industrial forest (light forest), what did you notice about the bird's likelihood of catching light colored moths compared to dark colored moths?   Question 5 options:   They were less likely to catch light colored moths.   The were less likely to catch dark colored moths.    The chance for catching light vs dark-colored moths was close to 50:50.

Use the information and table to answer the following question. An ecologist is studying a population of mosquitos living in a nearby pond. The ecologist estimates the population size twice a day - once at sunrise and once at sunset - for 5 days during the summer when mosquitos are reproducing. Their data is shown. Day 2 3 16 5 Time Sunrise Sunset Sunrise Sunset Sunrise Sunset Sunrise Sunset Sunrise Sunset Population Size (in thousands) 200 189 187 185 167 180 186 Based on the data, what is the estimated carrying capacity for the population and what factor may have led to a change in data at day three?

Suppose you model the interaction between  elephants and acacias using a simple Lotka-Voterra predation model, where N is the number of A. depranolobium trees, and P = number of elephants. 5. According to the model, under what conditions would the elephants increase in population size? Group of answer choices At any point when the acacia tree population is greater than m/ba. At any point when the elephant population is greater than r/a. Only when the acacia tree population is less than its isocline. At any point when the elephant population is greater than the acacia tree isocline.

Use the information and the image to answer the following question. The bird in the picture feeds on mice. A large forest fire resulted in a layer of ash that darkened the soil in which the mice lived. The illustration shows the distribution of the mice over time. picture which could be a statement about why the color distribution in the mouse population changed over time.

A small population of birds lived on an island. They were all the same species and ate a large variety of foods. This population had a lot of variation in beak size and shape. Over time, the population of finches grew pretty large. Some individuals in the population had slightly longer and thinner beaks. These individuals could forage for insects in the holes in trees in ways that the others in the population couldn't. They left more offspring that had that trait and over time, created a new species that foraged exclusively on insects in trees. This process is called:     speciation. endemicism. All of the answers are correct. acclimatization.

The next five questions (questions 11-15) are related to each other. Read all of the scenarios very carefully and in order and select the correct answer. A population of 10,000 blue grasshoppers lives on an island. Most members of the population live among the grasses because they are not very good climbers. Some grasshoppers live in the trees because they are good climbers. One year, a short-legged mouse arrived at the island and ate all grasshoppers within its reach, thus totally wiping out the grasshoppers living in the grasses. Luckily, those grasshoppers that were good climbers were spared. This story is an example of Gene Flow Founder Effect C Natural Selection Genetic Drift

Based on the a graph, why did the number of wolves increase?

A Golden Eagle can raise 5 offspring without help in a season, or can give up raising her own offspring and instead help her aunt raise offspring (in other words, help to raise cousins). A golden eagle would have to raise cousins to be equal to raising her own offspring. Record your answer as a whole number.
