Peter and rosemary discovered a natural ecosystem with an extreme climate, oscillating between cycles of intense drought and abundant rainfall, as well as an uncontaminated area that had never been explored by humans. This was an excellent location to study the evolution of Galapagos finches.

  • For their outstanding long-term studies showing evolution in action in Galápagos finches, Peter and Rosemary Grant are renowned.
  • They have shown that natural selection is responsible for the incredibly quick changes in body and beak size in response to variations in the availability of food.
  • Due to the lack of predators or rivals for the finches, Daphne Major makes an excellent location for research.
  • (The cactus finch is the only other finch on the island.)
  • The weather, and consequently the availability of food, has a significant impact on the medium ground finch's capacity to survive.

6 effects of weeds on crops​
garri49 [273]

Answer:

<em>1. They effect crop productivity</em>

As weeds start to grow in the area where the crops were destined to grow, the production of the crops gets lowered.

<em>2. They deplete the crops from nutrition</em>

The weeds will compete with the crop plants for resources such as minerals from the soil.

<em>3. They will deplete water resources</em>

The weeds will compete with the crop plants for water.

<em>4. Sun-light will be depleted</em>

The weeds will complete with the crop plants for sun light.

<em>5. The crop quality will be affected</em>

As the crop plants will be in competition with the weeds, hence their quality will be affected.

6.  <em>They can reduce the biodiversity of crop plants.</em>

1 Both types of succession require the same amount of time to occur.

2 Both types of succession result in greater biodiversity over time.

3 Both types of succession decrease the stability of an ecosystem.

4 Both types of succession have the same starting conditions.

5 Both types of succession eventually lead to a community closer to equilibrium.
