Question
Is the species a generalist or a specialist and how does this niche impact the species of the wild.
The giant panda, native to China, and the raccoon, native to North America, share a common ancestor. However, their current status in the wild is anything but common.

- Synthesis: How does reproductive isolation differ in sympatric modes and allopatric modes of speciation?arrow_forwardWhat is an example of how migration causes changes in gene frequencies? Genetic material can become lost over time due to lack of reproduction when animals migrate. When animals migrate, their genes mutate on their own, changing the frequency that a gene allele shows up. When animals migrate, the mating becomes less random, causing inbreeding and, therefore, shifts in the proportion of alleles. Seeds of plants are carried to different locations and introduced to a new population, adding their own genetic material and, therefore, changing gene frequencies.arrow_forwardAfter fire devastates all of the trees in a wide swath of forest, populations of a species of tree-dwelling frog on either side of the burned area diverge and become separate species.

- Explain the difference IN PRIMATES between contest competition and scramble competition, referencing how the distribution of different types of foods interacts with group size to affect levels of these kinds of competition in primate groups. References are the books "Primate Behavioral Ecology" by Karen Strier and "Planet Without Apes" by Craig Stanfordarrow_forwardThe introduction of a new food sources into a population where competition is high can create increased habitat heterogeneity and potentially result in sympatric speciation. True Falsearrow_forwardSpecies A experiences a mutation that produces a favorable allele to avoid predation by species B. In turn, species B experiences a mutation that helps it to counter the 'predator avoidance' allele that appeared in species A. What term best describes this situation?arrow_forward
- Approximately 14,000 years ago, the climate in North America began to warm rapidly. At the same time, human hunters migrated to the continent. Which of these most likely resulted from a combination of these two factors? an increase in the rate of large mammal extinctions a reduction in the rate of species change an increase in the amount of interspecies cooperation a reduction in the total number of small parasitic insectsarrow_forwardSince different species of penguin may occupy the same habitat, explain why they may continue to remain separate species.arrow_forwardThe yellow-legged gull (Larus michahellis) is a widespread species along the Atlantic coasts of France and the Iberian Peninsula, the Azores Islands, Madeira, the countries of the Mediterranean basin and the Black Sea. It was formerly considered as a subspecies of Herring Gull (L. argentatus), with which it coexists in some reproductive areas. Only recently L. michahellis has been recognized as a distinct species. Following detailed comparison of the two species, researchers found that the L. michahellis's restricted but dense head-streaking and advanced primary molt in late summer, are not compatible with L. argentatus. Larus michahellis has a proportionately longer, heavier bill and bulkier head and body than L. urgentutus. In addition, L. michahellis's yellow bill has a red gonydeal spot, both colors typically brighter than in L. urgentutus outside breeding season. They also have an orange-red to vermilion orbital ring and yellow legs. DNA research, however, suggests that the…arrow_forward
