Answer: stabilizing selection acting on clutch size

Explanation:

Stabilizing selection is a form of natural selection in which a particular non-extreme trait value stabilizes the population mean.

However, stabilizing selection also have influence on birds clutch size (i.e. the number of eggs laid by a female bird). This is because the female bird is required to lay many eggs in order to have increase number offspring. However, the number of eggs they laid is directly proportional to the degree of support they can render with their own resources.

Therefore, the female starlings typically lays a moderate amount of eggs in order to stabilize the number of offspring they can take care and hence, increasing their offsprings survival rate.

solong [7]

Answer:

a way to inform conservation efforts based on genetic information from species

Explanation:

Genetic studies in wildlife and captivity species provide significant information to understand aspects regarding the biology and ecology of species, especially endangered species. Many discoveries have been useful to solve several taxonomic issues, determine the risk of diseases, and explain reproductive problems, among other problems. What is even more important is that genetic knowledge helps to plan management programs and conservation. Together with other areas related to behavior and conservation, genetic knowledge provides the basis to carry out successful conservation strategies.

Typical nonmetals have a dull, coloured or colourless appearance; are </span>brittle<span> when solid; are poor conductors of heat and electricity; and have acidic oxides. Most or some elements in each category share a range of other properties; a few elements have properties that are either anomalous given their category, or otherwise extraordinary.</span>

How do some cold-blooded animals keep their bodies at a constant temperature in cooler environments? By generating their own hea
nekit [7.7K]
I am thinking it is by heating themselves in sunlight. I think this because when I bring lizards to mind, they are cold blooded, and they need sunlight to bath in so they do not start to lack warmth to live.

I hope this helps.
