how do current levels of plant and animal biodiversity on easter island compare with past biodiversity levels

Biology
1 answer:
-BARSIC- [3]3 years ago
7 0

Answer and Explanation:

Easter Island, a small island of around 64 square miles, has been a mystery for many scientists who study the changes on the past and current biodiversity abundance. According to research, this island used to be extremely diverse in species of fauna and flora, especially the latter. However, it is now composed of few species of invertebrates and little to almost no vegetation. This occured <u>due to the first colonizers</u> who rapidly deforested the region.

Research suggests that, apart from this deforestation, which caused the decline of wildlife species that depended on shrubs and palm trees, Polynesian colonisers introduced the Polynesian rat, which consumed almost all of the trees that were present in the island, leading to the absence of their regeneration.

Why are biologists still debating the classification of protozoans? A. Biologists never agree on anything. B. There are estimate
miskamm [114]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Answer B is correct:

Because the biologists are continuing to learn more and more about such minute organisms, protozoan systematics – that is,  the taxonomy (classification) and the evolutionary interrelationships of major groups of protozoa – remains a  topic of debate and change, still today.

Some of the rather  LARGE and unwieldy taxonomic groupings of past years are  particularly subject to revision with expansion of and  refinement in the knowledge about the members of those –  and related – assemblages. Paradoxically, the protozoa  themselves are becoming more difficult to define with  precision as our information about them and other microbial assemblages increases. Thus, presenting a single  satisfactory circumscribed definition for them is not an  easy task.

...

Answer A sounds so funny.

Answer C and D are false because Protozoans are usually single-celled and heterotrophic.

...

Hope this answer can help you. Have a nice day!
