What is a european starlings ecological role

Biology

makkiz [27]3 years ago
5 0
European Starlings have a significant impact on their environment because they congregate in such large numbers.  They probably play a role in seed dispersal because of their consumption of a wide variety of fruits.  European Starlings also control some insect populations, but since they will eat almost anything they cannot be relied upon to eat only pests.  Insects they are known to feed on include the larvae of craneflies (Tipulidae) and moths (Lepidoptera) as well as mayflies (Ephemeroptera), dragonflies and damsel flies (Odonata), grasshoppers (Orthoptera), earwigs (Dermaptera), lacewings (Neuroptera), caddis flies (Trichoptera), flies (Diptera), sawflies, ants, bees and wasps (Hymenoptera) and beetles (Coleoptera).  They will also eat small vertebrates such as lizards and frogs, as well as snails (Gastropoda) and earthworms (Annelida).  European Starlings have a particular technique of inserting their closed bill into the ground or an object and then prying the bill open, creating a small hole.  This allows them to forage efficiently in soil and among roots as well as in feed troughs and on the backs of ungulates where they search for ectoparisites.

Which of the following best describes a vantage of having data presented in a table over a paragraph?
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

C. The way that the data is organized.

Explanation:

Placing data in a table allows the reader to have a better view and understanding of the data and how each figure is related to the rest, via columns and rows.  It also provides a much better organization of the information.  

A, B and D are false answers, because the aspects they mention wouldn't be impacted by a paragraph formatting (numbers would stay the same, just a lot harder to read and understand).

Varvara68 [4.7K]
<span>A stem is one of two main structural axes of a vascular plant, the other being the root. The stem is normally divided into nodes and internodes. The nodes hold buds which grow into one or more leaves, conifer cones, roots, other stems, or flowers (inflorescences); the internodes distance one node from another.</span>
