A species of protozoan-carrying mosquito lives in a meadow. The protozoan, if transmitted to mammal hosts through a bit, can be

fatal to the host. Two species of rabbits, species I and II, both live in this meadow. Species I is immune to the protozoan but species II is not. The mosquito is a main food source for a bat species that lives around the meadow. If all of these bats are eliminated suddenly by a white nose fungal infection, what would be the most likely outcome?
A) Increased mortality in rabbit species I
B) Increased mortality of rabbit species II
C) Increased herbivory by rabbit species II
D) Increased mortality of the mosquito population

Answer:

(B). Increased mortality of rabbit species II

Explanation:

Bats feed on mosquito species that carry pathogenic protozoans, which are fatal for mammals. If all bats are removed from that meadow, there will be no predators for mosquito species and they will grow in a large number and infect mammals through biting.

As rabbit species I is immune for the protozoan, transmitted by mosquito, they will fight against protozoan infection and will survive. On the other hand, species II has no immunity against the protozoan, so, they will get infected and die due to the protozoan-infection.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

Why would a more diverse habitat be more resilient disease, flooding, and invasion?
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:  

More diverse habitat follows beta diversity which ensures prevention from wider range of environmental fluctuations. There should be a stabilization in the entire community in terms of invasions, disease events. Species with a limited variety of phenotypes living in a diverse habitat  will undergo adaptations in order to cope up with environmental variability.

Drag each tile to the correct location. Determine whether each sentence describes oceanic crust, continental crust, or both. It
neonofarm [45]

Given what we know, the three sentences in this question all describe the properties of oceanic crust.

<h3>What is the oceanic crust?</h3>
  • The oceanic crust is the outer layer of the earth, located at the bottom of the oceans.
  • It contains three layers, ordered by number.
  • During subduction, this remains the topmost crust.
  • It is formed by the solidification of magma.
  • The oceanic crust is known to be very dense.

Therefore, we can confirm that the sentences in the question describe oceanic crust given that this is the topmost crust during subduction, formed by the solidifying of magma, making it a much denser rock than the other forms of crust.
