Please help Question 1Read the excerpt below regarding research at the University of Guelph:Light Pollution is key 'bringer of insect apocalypse'Light pollution is a significant but overlooked driver of the rapid decline of insectpopulations. Artificial light at night can affect every aspect of insects' lives...fromluring moths to their deaths around bulbs, to spotlighting insect prey for rats andtoads, to obscuring the mating signals of fireflies. Widespread declines [in insectpopulations] threaten to cause a catastrophic collapse of nature's ecosystems.Insects around the world are rapidly declining. Their absence would havedevastating consequences for life on this planet. There are thought to be millions ofinsect species...and about half are nocturnal. Those active in the day may also bedisturbed by light at night when they are at rest. The evidence that light pollutionhas profound and serious impacts on ecosystems is overwhelmingly strong. Lightpollution could have significant ramifications at the insect population, species orcommunity level.The scientific method begins with observations, what observations were made thatcould have sparked the research?

Recent published research has documented declines in flying insect populations. Describe two main threats to the survival of flying insects and one thing that we will we lose from our planet if flying insect species become extinct. Describe two ways in which we might prevent this catastrophe from worsening.
PLEASE HELP! Question: Brown marmorated stink bugs are native to China and Japan. They were identified in Pennsylvania for the first time in 1998 and have since spread across North America, feeding on agricultural crops. Which of the following characteristics of the brown marmorated stink bug has led to them being an invasive species in North America? A. They reach maturity slowly. B. They are tolerant of a wide range of environmental conditions. C. They are often eaten by native wasps and birds. D. They have only a few surviving offspring each year.

Does Totoaba offer any ecosystem benefits? I know their demise is causing the Vaquita to go extinct due to illegal poaching, however, are Totoaba themselves important? Essentially, if Totoaba went extinct, what would happen? *This question is being asked for personal knowledge, not for any school assignments!
true/false 1. Large Aspen Tortrix (Choristoneura conflictana) makes a large silken tent and uses it as a communal place. 2. Trichoptera has hairy wings. 3. Black Fire Beetle (Melanophila acuminata) has infrared receptor so that they can detect burned forests. 4. White-spotted Sawyer (Monochamus scutellatus) belongs to the family Buprestidae and makes D-shaped emergence holes.
Which row below best describes why the population of adult mosquitoes would drop so dramatically during this time period Feb. 5, 2007 Something is wiping out honey bees across North America and a team of researchers is rushing to find out what it is. What’s being called Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) has now been seen in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Florida, Georgia and way out in California. Some bee keepers have lost up to 80 percent of their colonies to the mysterious disorder. Whatever kills the bees targets adult workers, which die outside the colony — with few adults left inside, either alive or dead. The disorder decimates the worker bee population in a matter of weeks. Aside from making honey, honey bees are essential for the pollination of tens of million of dollars worth of cash crops all over the United States. That’s why almond growers of California, for instance, are taking notice and pledging funds to help identify and fight the honey bee disorder. Among the…

Discussion Answer the following questions 1. In the dark forest, what change did you observe in the moth population by the end? 2. Why did this happen? 3. In the wild, would moth parents have offspring that are identical in color to them? 4. What does "survival of the fittest" mean? 5. How does an adaptation first happen? 6. How does a trait become more common in a population over time?
Question:- What is a plausible hypothesis that describes a possible mechanism to explain the differences between the forest and domestic forms in terms of their specific preferences for humans versus non-human animals. The hypothesis should describe a genetic (heritable) difference between the populations. Choose all that apply. Group of answer choices Mosquitoes have odor receptors for specific blood hosts Mosquitoes have specific behaviors tailored to their blood hosts Mosquitoes live in different environments Mosquitoes have different morphology to bite their prey Mosquitoes have different genetics
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:
Why should we safely agree that insects incorporated into animal feed will impact the environment and economy positively?
