While on a backpacking trip you are bitten by a poisonous snake and transferred to the nearest
hospital, where you receive human immunoglobulin treatment against the poisonous snake venom.
You recover from your snakebite and return home. One year later during an environmental studies
field trip, you are bitten once again by the same type of snake. Please select the correct answers:
O Compared to the first snakebite, are you equally sensitive to the venom from the second bite. There are no
residual cells or antibodies that were involved in the original encounter with this snake venom and, therefore,
no recall response.
You are not protected from the second bite. The immunoglobulin you received 1 year ago protected you
temporarily but those antibodies are now gone and you have no memory B cells to produce new antibodies
during the second exposure.
Antibodies in the serum bound to the snake venom and neutralized its ability to cause damage. Phagocytes
then engulfed and destroyed…
The main predator that crab lab are avoid using the shadow response is?
For your summer research project, you decide to repeat Lillian Tuttle’s (2017) experiment testing the effect of lionfish on other fish that are cleaners and clients. You do this new experiment at a new location (Bonaire), but use basically the same experimental approach and BACI design as Tuttle.
a) You do not separate resident and transient clients (as Tuttle did), and below is a graph of your results showing the effect of the treatment on the total density of client fish in the community. Please explain your result. Imagine that you are planning to publish your experiment and that your answer to this question will be part of the “Results” section of your paper. Please do not worry about hypothetical statistical tests; just assume that the obvious patterns displayed in the graph can be interpreted at face value.

These results provide further evidence for the effects of habitat size on the phorid-Acromyrmex system in a tropical rain forest, based on the abundance of parasitoids both as adults in the field and as reared immature phorids in the laboratory. Phorid parasitized leafcutter ants were most abundant in areas of continuous forest, and less abundant in the forest fragments. O Phorid flies are important parasitoids of leafcutter ants nd leafcutter ants can be found in Brazil's Southeastern Both phorid flies Atlantic Forest. The study provides evidence that this parasitoid-host interaction between phorid flies and leafcutter ant differs between continuous forest and forest fragments. Phorid flies were just as abundant in forest fragments as they were in continuous forest, but were less successful in parasitizing leafcutter ants.arrow_forward

Explain.arrow_forwardFoxes are carnivores that bury their food to consume it later. They can capture and bury food at a very fast rate. Explain how this adaptation helps them when competing for resources. A) The foxes bat-like ears radiate body heat and help keep it cool on summer days. B) The foxes' thick fur gives it the ability to maintain its core temperature during the cold nights. C) The foxes' claws give them the ability to capture and bury their food very quickly, giving them an advantage over the competition.

[C]arrow_forwardA) Commensalism D) Competition B) Mutualism E) Predation C) Parasitism Although termites can physically chew and ingest wood, they are incapable of chemically digesting the wood. Inside of the termite is an intestinal flagellate that secretes the enzymes necessary for the termite to digest the wood. The flagellates live only inside in the hindgut of termites. Barnacles create home sites by attaching themselves to whale. This relationship neither harms nor benefits the whale. Tapeworms, for example, live inside the intestines of humans and farm animals. They obtain digested food and shelter from their hosts. Hence, the hosts are likely to suffer from malnutrition. The stork uses its saw-like bill to cut up the dead animals it eats. As a result, the dead animal carcass is accessible to some bees for food and egg laying. The relationship neither harms nor benefits the stork. Honey guide birds alert and direct badgers to bee hives. The badgers then expose the hives and feed on the honey…arrow_forwardE. Tolerance limits are that limit a species' survival.

- Many fish purchased and consumed by humans are bred and raised in fish farms. The fish on a farm can be infected by parasites called sea lice, which are small crustaceans that feed on a fish's blood and skin, which may injure or even kill the fish. Jansen and colleagues (2012) analyzed sea lice infections on trout and salmon farms. Fish farms provided data on the numbers of sea lice found on their captive fish. The scientists compared the number of sea lice with the "local farmed fish biomass density," which is a measure of population density that accounts for both the number and biomass (or size) of fish on a farm. Other research has also found a relationship between sea lice infestation and mortality. From this figure and information, how does density of fish on a farm affect the number of sea lice per fish? What type of factor is regulating the size of farmed fish populations and population growth? 100 200 300 400 Local farmed fish biomass density (metric tons) 3. 2.
