The ENDANGERED ANIMAL is CA least tern and its a bird
1. Species Description Visual description, size, reproduction, lifespan, unique behaviors
2. Habitat Needs & Ecological Roles What type of habitat does it require? What does it eat? Who eats it? What role does this species play in its biological community?, etc.
3. Geographic Range/ Population Status Where is this species found geographically? How does its current range compare with where it’s distributed today? How many of these organisms are present in our region? (Or – if you can’t find overall numbers, is there data available on specific populations of this plant/animal?)
4. 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.
5. 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
6. 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?
Since you have asked multiple question, we will solve the first question for you. If you want any specific question to be solved then please specify the question number or post only that question.
The change in the heritable characteristics of the species across many generations is called evolution. Evolution is a gradual process, and according to the theory of evolution, all species are related and evolved gradually. According to the theory of evolution, all living organism on the earth has a common ancestor.
The species problem is the group of inquiries that occurs when evolutionary biologists try to define the term species. The definition that describes what a species is, termed species concept.
Ecology is the study of the associations among living organisms and their physical environment.

- How does extirpation differ from extinction? Group of answer choices Extinction and extirpation are the same thing. Extirpation is the loss of a single population, while extinction is the loss of an entire species. Extinction only happens during a mass extinction. Extinction is the loss of a single population, while extirpation is the loss of an entire species.arrow_forwardBiology Question! Water wisteria is an aquatic plant that is easy to care for and reproduces very quickly. A small man-made pond of 350 L contains 78 water wisteria plants. 15 new plants are introduced daily to the pond, while 50 plants are taken out once a week to be sold at local pet shops. What is the overall population change in a two-week period? Express your answer rounded to the nearest whole number. What is the population density of water wisteria at the beginning? Express your answer as a value between 0 and 1 rounded to two decimal places.arrow_forwardMatch the following forms of interaction with the correct description. predation [Choose ] mutualism [Choose ] commensalism [Choose ] ✪ parasitism [Choose ]arrow_forward

Conservation efforts attempt to identify and focus on the species most at risk of going extinct. Which characteristics make species more vulnerable to extinction? species that have a generalized diet species that have a small population size species that are not negatively affected by introduced species species that are used by humans for food and clothing species that have a long life spanarrow_forward22.

- Insects are the largest group of animals on Earth. Insect diversity is greatest in the tropics, where habitat destruction and species extinction are occurring at an alarming rate. What biological, economic, and ethical arguments can you advance to persuade people and governments to preserve this biological diversity? Instructions:arrow_forwardSpecies 1 2 3 5. A biologist notices that plants growing in dense thickets of vegetation (uncleared areas) tend to be much smaller than when they are grown in isolation in cleared areas in his garden. As they are a very cool gardener, in addition to being a very cool person in general, they do an experiment and observe the following for five plant species: 4 5 Biomass of the species in uncleared areas (g) 19 14 14 29 50 Biomass of the species in cleared areas (g) 20 34 48 39 51 Explain these results and the concept behind them thoroughly, including in quantitative termsarrow_forward
