DescriptionA mesopredator is a mid-ranking predator in the middle of a trophic level, which typically preys on smaller animals. Mesopredators often vary in ecosystems depending on the food web.
hope this helped :)
Did you ever find the answer for question 4?
Answer:
Explanation:
Helium is the second most abundant element in the universe, but here on earth, it's rather rare. Most people guess that we extract helium from the air, but actually we dig it out of the ground. Helium can be found in certain parts of the world, notably in Texas, as a minor component in some sources of natural gas.
Helium is generated underground by the radioactive decay of heavy elements such as uranium and thorium. Part of the radiation from these elements consists of alpha particles, which form the nuclei of helium atoms. ... Helium can also be produced by liquefying air and separating the component gases
When the gas contains more than about 0.4% helium by volume, a cryogenic distillation method is often used in order to recover the helium content. Once the helium has been separated from the natural gas, it undergoes further refining to bring it to 99.99+% purity for commercial use.
Answer:
Two diverged populations are capable of mating and producing viable and fertile offspring.
Explanation:
Although the biological concept of species says that two different species can not mate and produce viable fertile descendants, the hybrid zones are characterized for being an area where two different genetically groups meet and reproduce. These groups might be the same or different species.
This is a frequent phenomenon in nature, and widely common geographically and among taxonomic groups. It is not rear that different sympatric populations, with a short time of divergence and similar reproductive strategies, can hybridize and even generate new populations that get reproductively isolated from their parentals.
When talking about sympatry we refer to two similar species that coincide in part or their whole distribution area.
These new populations are even morphologically different from the parental forms, which allow them to colonize new habitats and niches, promoting diversification.
Hibridation zones are very important to conserve, just because they are points of genetic diversity generation and diversification areas.
