ECOLOGY: What are the ecosystem impacts of world-wide top predator declines? (10 marks)

Geography
1 answer:
uysha [10]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

 Predators are an important part of a healthy ecosystem, they remove vulnerable prey (old, injured, sick, or very young), leaving more food for the survival and success of healthy prey animals, this helps slow down the spread of disease allowing only the fittest animals survive and reproduce. They also help to reduce the impact their prey may have on the ecosystem if they become too abundant or it they stayed in one area for too long.    

The catastrophic decline around the world of "apex" predators such as wolves, cougars, lions or sharks has led to a huge increase in smaller "mesopredators" that are causing major economic and ecological disruptions (not acomplishing the roll we mentioned in the beginning).          Large predators are usually carnivores, but mesopredators are often omnivores and can cause significant plant and crop damage.  

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

How did the noblemen spend their free time in ancient Egypt
shepuryov [24]

The ancient Egyptian noblemen usually would be very busy with their daily appointments with overseers of their much treasured land. However, music played a vital role in their lives. To pass time, they threw lavish parties. Consumption of beer, wine, and narcotics was common.

They also spent their leisure time in their own gardens next to their houses like people do today. They could go outside and relax. They also loved to over-stuff themselves and enjoy a good laugh. Fishing was also done at their free time and would go severally to river Nile. Most of the fishing was enjoyed as a timeout from hard work. They also hunted for sport. Noblemen caught wild animals.
