What is a european starlings ecological role

Biology
1 answer:
makkiz [27]4 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.

Summarize the nitrogen cycle and it’s importance of proteins and DNA
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Nitrogen cycle works through various stages like, nitrogen fixation, nitrification, assimilation, ammonification, denitrification etc. It is a building block for protein and DNA

Explanation:

Nitrogen is an element abundantly found in the atmosphere, also its building block for proteins as well as nucleic acid i.e. DNA formation. In nitrogen cycle , the nitrogen is being prepared from inert nitrogen.  The nitrogen cycle has several processes like nitrogen fixation, in this the inert nitrogen is being converted to organic nitrogen with the help of certain micro-organism.

Nitrification, plants cannot absorb directly nitrogen so bacteria help the plants to convert the nitrogen into ammonia form in this stage. Assimilation, another stage in which plants starts absorbing various forms of nitrogen from the soil.i.e. nitrate, nitrite and ammonium. Ammonification, here plants and animals have nitrogen in there body after death various microbes help in decomposition in this stage. Denitrification, in this stage the return back of nitrogen takes place.
