Indicator species may provide useful substitute for large scale surveys to monitor biodiversity. Weconducted surveys in the Afro-alpine habitats of the Bale Mountains National Park (BMNP) with theobjective of identifying indicators for the species richness of the raptor guild. Raptors were countedby scan sampling technique from a suitable vintage point. Three classes of 18 sample units groupedaccording to the variability of the moorland ecosystem in the magnitude of process variables importantfor raptor species richness were used in determining the indicator value of species as a function of their abundance concentration and the percentage of species occurrence per sample group. Thisprocedure determined indicator values for all species in the resident raptor community. Comparisonwith randomly expected values demonstrated that only<span> Aquila verreauxii</span>and<span> A. chrysaetos</span>haveindicator values that were significantly larger than the randomly expected values. The species richnessestimated using the abundances of these two species predicted the observed species richness of thewhole community in a linear regression model that explained 66% of the deviance in the data set.Furthermore, the species richness of the community predicted by process variables had correlation of very high significance with that predicted by the indicator species. We have thus identified twoindicator species to a raptor guild of the BMNP and demonstrated that these two species encapsulatedmost of the information regarding the species richness response of the guild to key process variablesin the Afro-alpine moorland ecosystem. Our findings contribute significantly to current and futureefforts of monitoring the biodiversity of the park providing a cheap and quick means of data generation<span>relevant for making management decisions. Hope this helped! :)</span>
Answer:
The king snakes will be attacked and eaten by predators.
Explanation:
Mimicry can be described as a situation whereby an organism have the ability to imitate or copy one or more traits or character of another organism.
This can be described as a form of camouflage that organism exhibit to avoid been killed by predators, or to deceive other organism, by pretending to be one its species in order to kill it.
In the case, the harmless king snakes was trying to present itself as a harmful snake by mimicking the venomous coral snakes. Therefore, when it found itself where the coral snake are not wanted, it will be killed, because , it will be seen as a coral snake due to the mimicry process.
The first land plants appeared around 470 million years ago, during the Ordovician period, when life was diversifying rapidly. They were non-vascular plants, like mosses and liverworts, that didn't have deep roots
Answer:
It is a typical Hfr mating, as trp gene is very closed to F plasmid, the Hfr bacteria donates its trp gene along with F plasmid and then process is disturbed.
Explanation:
The answer is (D)
Composting helps in manufacturing of manure which is very very healthy for the plants.
Reusing , reusing plastic bags can be helpful for the environment
Recycling , can be used to convert plastic into other useful substance , which is an advantage for the environment.
Incinerating is the process of burning waste materials , due to this , there is a smoke emission which is very harmful for the environment.
