<span>Age structure would help scientists determine if the problem exists with young or old dolphins.

The age structure shows the distribution of the ages of the individuals in a population. This not only shows the type of change taking place in the population (increasing, decreasing or staying the same) but also is able to help us relate problems to ages. By determining the which age group is more stressed, the scientists will be able to narrow down the causes of the stress and create more accurate hypotheses.

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

sympatric speciation

Explanation:

Species of fruit fly larvae in the genus Rhagoletis each feed on a particular kind of fruit. Rhagoletis pomonella feeds on the small red fruit of the hawthorn tree. In 1865, farmers in the Hudson River valley found that R. pomonella flies had begun attacking their apples and then spread to apple orchards in adjacent areas of Massachusetts and Connecticut. These now separate varieties of flies, the apple and haw flies, usually don't interbreed with each other because their periods of mating coincide with the different ripening times of apples and hawthorn fruit. Each variety is becoming specialized to feed and reproduce in its own particular microhabitat and may be transitioning to separate species.If the apple and haw flies become distinct enough to be separate species, their evolution is an example of sympatric speciation
