What causes the moose population to decrease? When this happens what happens to the wolf population

Answer:

The most prominent factor that is causing the moose population to decrease, is the climate change, and the second most important one, is human hunting and destruction of the moose´s natural environment, and feeding grounds, to increase availability of land space for cattle raising. And the decrease of the moose population, as they are the main pray for wolves, causes these predators to move away, die, or seek other sources of food, which means that as the moose population decreases, so does the wolf population, for different reasons.

Explanation:

As researched, probably the biggest reason for the decreasing in many species of animals, not just the moose, is climate change, because climate change is affecting the environment of animals, and changing their living habits to adapt. The affectation of plant life, the changes in availability of water and living space for wild animals, such as the moose and wolf, are leading to their decreased numbers. However, hunting by humans has also become a problem, even though today legally, most of these hunting activities are restricted and controlled. A third, and very huge issue, is the human encroaching on the environments where both moose and wolf live, in order to turn lands into grazing lands for cattle. Farming, thus, has also become a problem that has led the moose to either seek other environments, or die off. As a chain reaction, the wolf population also decreases, as they either die, or move away since they no longer have easily available prey to hunt.

Hunting is one of the causes that moose die off. The wolves will either have to find another source of food, move off, or parish (Die).

What is true of intercellular signals that do not go through direct connections between cells, such as plasmodesmata?
Paha777 [63]

The truth about intercellular signals are nucleus which opens up on an ion-linked channel.

Intercellular signals mediates and ionizes radiation which is being induced by stander effects.

Inorder to get to know more about intercellular signal we have to identify the transducers, receptors and the ligands.

Zanzabum

Answer:

See explanation below.

Explanation:

1. Explain the difference in the roles of producers, consumers, and decomposers in the Everglades.

In the Everglades, producers would be all <u>species of organisms that are autotrophs such as different species of plants</u>. Consumers are categorized into three: primary, secondary and terciary consumers. <em><u>Primary consumers</u></em><u> feed on plants (e.g. insects), </u><em><u>secondary consumers</u></em><u> eat the primary consumers (e.g. mice or rats), while </u><em><u>tertiary consumers</u></em><u> are higher predators that eat the secondary consumers (e.g. racoons)</u>. Finally, decomposers are bacteria, archaeans, fungi, or worms that live in soil which decompose organic matter.

2. Based on your knowledge of how to classify living organisms, in what domain and kingdom do the producers, consumers, and decomposers belong?

In Biology, the three domains are Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya; while there are six kingdoms: Archaebacteria, Eubacteria (true bacteria), Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia.

  • Producers, that is plants, belong to the Domain Eukarya and the Kingdom Plantae.
  • Primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers also belong to the Domain Eukarya and to the Kingdom Animalia as they are all animals and eukaryotes.
  • Decomposers are classified into the three domains: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. Bacteria belong to the domain Bacteria, archaeans belong to the domain Archaea, and worms and fungi belong to the domain Eukarya. On the other hand, decomposers are classified into Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protista (oomycetes), Fungi, and Animalia (worms).

3. How did energy travel in the Everglades BEFORE the alligators were removed?

Aquatic plants (producers) <-- bass <-- bluegill <-- gar <-- alligator

Aquatic plants (producers) <-- zooplankton <-- bass/bluegill <-- wood stork <-- alligator

Plants (producers) <-- cattle <-- alligator

Plants (producers) <-- insects <-- rats <-- racoons <-- alligator

4. How did removing the alligators from the food web change how energy flowed in the Everglades?

Once the alligators were removed from the food web, the populations that were once in decline began to recover because of the lack of predators. Consequently, the lack of alligators led to the uncontrollable growth of racoons, wood stork, and gar, which could also cause an alteration as they consume ecologically and economically important fish species such as the bass and bluegill.

5. How did the problem begin, and what action(s) should Ranger Imani take to solve this issue?

The problem began when the populations of alligator, an apex predator that sits at the top of the food chain, grew at an accelerated pace. This led to the uncontrolled predation of other organisms that are also fundamental to maintain an ecological balance. Therefore, Ranger Imani decided to humanely euthanize the alligators, which were preying upon them. This led to a huge increase in wood stork, gar, and racoon populations.

Alligators should not be completely removed because they help to maintain an ecological balance. Instead, Ranger Imani should work on controlling populations by implementing Wildlife Population Management strategies, such as sustainable fishing, to prevent a certain species population from reaching a high number of individuals in order to keep a healthy ecosystem where all populations are stable because removing all apex predators is not the appropriate strategy as it significantly alters the ecosystem.
