The Great Barrier Reef in Australia is known as the largest coral reef in the world and the largest living thing on Earth where it houses countless species of sea animals. 

Its distinguishing or distinct abiotic feature is its shallow waters.

Sunlight is one of the most important factors in an ecosystem necessary for the organism's survival. The reef mostly has shallow waters so it is easier for the light to penetrate the water for the organisms to use. Even the reefs are visible from the outer space due to its shallow waters.

i) Because the worms would have either learned to become night worms or all day worms would have been eaten faster than they could reproduce

ii) Natural selection. Humans had no interaction with which worms survived, so it's all natural.

A bird is observed to nest along the coastline. It then spends hours out in the open ocean feeding on fish. What is this behavio

Answer:

Nesting & Foraging behavior

Explanation:

Seabirds are generally tertiary consumers and / or marine predators that, in marine foodwebs, occupy the upper trophic level. They are very well adapted to all marine ecosystems and feed on a variety of prey: from micro-crustaceans to fish and cephalopods.

Generally, seabirds are observed performing a nesting behavior, by laying eggs near the shore, and then are found exhibiting foraging behavior -searching and foraging for prey- in both the coastline and pelagic zone, also known as the open sea.

Seabirds exhibit different foraging behaviors, for example, the surface feeding behavior which involves flying along the surface with their beak in the water. Gulls, albatrosses and petrels are examples of surface feeders.

On the other hand, plunge diving involves preying on fast marine organisms by diving into the water during their flight. Pelicans are example of seabirds who engage in this behavior.

What must be true for natural selection to happen?

Mila [183]

Answer: Four conditions are needed for natural selection to occur: reproduction, heredity, variation in fitness or organisms, variation in individual characters among members of the population. If they are met, natural selection automatically results.
