Answer:

Right choice:

B. lords

Explanation:

Granting lands to lords - and elevating somebody to nobility and knighthood - was a privilege of a king. In this way kings paid for services, rewarded assistance and heroism during a war, or won political allegiances and loyalties.

When the hare population increased what happened to the lynx population?

vovangra [49]

Snowshoe hare is the primary food of the lynx. The population cycles of these two species are closely linked.

When hares are plentiful, lynx eat little else and take about two hares every three days.

Lynx prey upon mice, voles, squirrels, grouse, ptarmigan and carrion when hares are scarce. These food sources often do not meet the lynx's nutritional needs. Some lynx cannot maintain their body fat reserves on this type of diet and become more vulnerable to starvation or predation. Other lynx manage to remain healthy by using alternative prey and food sources when the hare population is low. When snowshoe hares are scarce, many lynx leave their home range in search of food.

Hare populations across most of the boreal forest experience dramatic fluctuations in a cycle that lasts 8-11 years. At the peak of the cycle, snowshoe hares can reach a density of up to 1500 animals per km2. The habitat cannot support this many animals. As predation increases and starvation sets in, the population starts to decline. Continued predation due to high populations of lynx and other predators increases the hare population decline.

When the hare population reaches a low level, it stabilizes, for several years. The food plants slowly recover and the hare population starts to increase again. Since hares have several litters each year, the hare population increases rapidly. After a year or two at high densities, the hare cycle repeats itself.

The lynx population decline follows the snowshoe hare population crash after a lag of one to two years. As hare numbers start to decline, lynx continue to eat well because they can easily catch the starving hares.

When hares become scarce, lynx numbers also decline. Their lack of fat reserves makes them less able to live through starvation and cold temperatures. Food shortages also cause behavioural changes such as increased roaming and loss of caution. This increases their vulnerability to predation.

Malnourishment has the most significant effect upon lynx reproduction and population levels. When females are in poor condition, fewer breed and not all of those bred produce litters. Litters are smaller, and most, if not all, of the few kittens born die soon after birth. This means that for a period of three to five years, few or no kittens survive to adulthood. Studies have shown the level of kittens in a lynx population may be zero at the population low and as high as 60 percent when t numbers increase. Low lynx population levels last for three or four years. When hares become plentiful again, the lynx population begins to increase as well.

The highs and lows of the lynx population cycle do not occur at the same time across the NWT. For example, in the early 1990s, lynx numbers peaked two years later in northwestern NWT than in the southwestern NWT.

¿Qué dificultades y ventajas presentaban las características geográficas de la cuenca del Mediterráneo para la agricultura, las

mart [117]

Answer:

Dificultades para agricultura:

Eventos de sequía muy marcada
Plagas y pestes
Sobredemanda

Ventajas para agricultura:

gran proporción de especies nativas con alto valor energético y potencial de domesticación
clima costero templado

Ventajas para comunicaciones y el transporte

Mar mediterráneo uniendo pueblos
Desarrollo de la navegación
Asentamientos en las zonas costeras
Incremento de la comercialización e intercambio de productos y saberes

Explanation:

En el área mediterranea existe una alta proporción de especies nativas con potencial de domesticación, entre las que se encuentran muchos pastos y mamíferos. De hecho, muchas de las especies cultivadas y comercializadas a nivel global en la actualidad provienen de pastos del mediterraneo.

En el clima mediterráneo, la estacionalidad es muy marcada en las caras oeste de los continentes. La estación seca ocurre durante el verano, y la estación húmeda ocurre durante el invierno.

En invierno, la tierra tiende a enfriarse más que el agua del océano, y los vientos del oeste traen a la costa aire cargado de humedad, que se condensan, y precipitan. En verano, la tierra está más caliente que el océano; los vientos del oeste soplan tierra adentro y se calientan en tierra, absorbiendo más humedad, y haciendo más secas las condiciones en tierra.

La estación seca es hostil debido a las elevadas temperaturas del verano. Los eventos de sequias, junto a la mayor tendencia de ocurrencia de plagas que ataquen los cultivos, sumada a la sobredemanda, hacen de la agricultura una actividad dificil.

Aún así, fue el clima costero templado el que favoreció el desarrollo de la agricultura. La producción de trigo, vino o aceite de oliva, entre otros productos de alto valor energético, generaron un gran impacto económico, incrementando el comercio y la comunicación dentro de la zona mediterránea.

La tendencia de los pueblos a ubicarse cerca del agua distó mucho de ser una limitación. Desarrollaron la navegación a través de la que pudieron incrementar el comercio e intercambio cultural entre pueblos. Sumado a ello, este tipo de transporte facilitó la colonización de nuevas áreas.

En la cuenca del Mediterraneo se encuentra la Medialuna Fertil, que porbablemnte haya sido el primer centro de domesticación. Es aquí donde comenzaron la domesticación de distintas especies vegetales y de algunas especies animales.
