- Male frogs commonly attract females of the same species using a unique, species-specific call (or "song"). Mónica, an ecologist, notices that there are two closely-related species of frogs living in the pond in her backyard. However, these species never interbreed because it appears that females are only attracted to the call of their own species. This is an example of _________________. a. Ecological isolation b. Hybrid inviability c. Gametic isolation d. Transpecies isolation e. Behavioral isolationarrow_forwardse the following information to answer the next question. The whooping crane is on Canada’s Endangered Species list and is protected in some national parks. A report was to be submitted regarding the change in the population size of the cranes under controlled conditions. Five cranes from that population emigrated to the neighboring parks and 60 cranes immigrated into the population. There were 20 births in the population. At the end of the study period, the population had increased by 75. The number of deaths that took place in the population of cranes was?arrow_forwardA population is defined as an integrated group of members of closely resembling species living in a particular area.

Birds are nesting in both cut and uncut forest patches. Beginning with the first step, place the steps in sequence for an investigation of the nesting birds using the scientific method. First step of investigation End of investigation Answer Bank Determine whether more birds nest in cut or uncut forest patches and share this conclusion with other researchers. Compare the data collected concerning nests from cut and uncut patches of forest. Observe birds nesting in cut patches and uncut patches of forest. Identify several patches of cut forest and several patches of uncut forest and decide how to conduct nest counts in them. Count the number of nests found and record the data. Hypothesize that more birds nest in cut forest patches.arrow_forwardThe most restricted public lands in the U.S. are located in the National Park System. True Falsearrow_forward

This image shows a male mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), which is native to western North America. Named for their large ears, mule deer are hunted for sport and food under strict management practices, such as designated hunting seasons and limits on how many deer a hunter can take. A) In a short paragraph, propose a hypothesis to test the effect of a zoned reserve on mule deer populations. Justify your hypothesis based on your knowledge of zoned reserves. B) In 1-2 short paragraphs, outline a field experiment to test your hypothesis on the effect of a zoned reserve on mule deer populations. Describe your control group, experimental group, and the data you would collect. Identify at least two environmental factors that could affect your data collection and how you would address them, if possible.arrow_forward
