This question is not complete; here is the complete question:
A one-hectare pond is sampled in early September. The sample yields 1 small catfish as well as 17 benthic invertebrates that represent 10 species.
If the pond is resampled a year later, which of the following would best indicate that the pond had been adversely affected by adjacent development?
A. An uncommon species has become more numerous
B. An increase in low-tolerance species has occurred
C. A decrease in high-tolerance species has occurred
D. Phylogenetic diversity has occurred
E. The biodiversity of the pond has decreased
The answer to this question is E. The biodiversity of the pond has decreased
Explanation:
In ecology, an ecosystem can be affected by adjacent developments including human developments or even other ecosystems and this can lead to positive or negative consequences.
In this context, one example that shows the was an adverse effect is "The biodiversity of the pond has decreased" because the reduction in diversity represents a major thread for an ecosystem as this makes species more vulnerable to disappear. Also, this can be caused by factors such as pollution caused by human development or major predator of the adjacent ecosystem feeding on organisms in the main ecosystem. Besides this, in the first sample, there were multiple species and a reduction in the second sample shows the ecosystem was weakened.
Bob is just a human like us and feels stuff, its probaly due to his environment and pressures/stress but heck who really knows. Bob is Bob. and that is that.
Answer:
Explanation:
Canada middle-class families with children are similar to those in the US that they avoid large urban area, rural area or brownfield site. They live as ex-pats only if they have to live overseas.
So the right answer is a middle-class family with two children in Canada is MOST LIKELY to settle <u>in a suburban area.</u>
The Speaker decides which bills will be assigned to which committees. This is one way he or she can use party leadership to influence members of their party in Congress. If a wayward member is sponsoring a bill, the Speaker may assign that bill to a committee where the bill is likely to get an unfavorable reception and be killed. Conversely, the Speaker can assign the bill to a safe committee where the bill will receive a favorable reception in exchange for the sponsor’s party loyalty.
