Biology

andreev551 [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer

The Interests can be balanced through;

• Undertaking habitat protection

• Relocating prairie dog colonies

• Maintaining the peace by preventing conflict

• Combating plagues through treatment and research

• Use of conservation education

Explanation

Prairie dogs are among the rodents who burrow in soil and are located in huge numbers in the grasslands of the central and western North America. The species include the black-tailed, Mexican, Gunnison’s and the Utah. The main contribution of the species is that their colonies create islands of habitats that help other species. The problem facing these species are targets from ranchers that believe in a false campaign that cattle fall/frequently trip on the burrow holes thus their colonies are cleared by bulldozers for housing development. In addition to that, they also shot the animals for sports. It is because of this siege on the species that The Prairie Dog Coalition is fighting to protect these species through public education, preventing the conflict, changing position of project and habitat protection.

How can invasive species alter an ecosystems food web?
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Invasive species can either replace an organism from the ecosystem food web or replace it.  

Explanation:

  • Invasive species are non-native species which can be animals, plants, micro-organisms, fish, etc. they are very much threatening to the native species and ecosystem food web.
  • Invasive species are spread by humans mostly, it happens unintentionally when people travel and all. Even climate change could be a reason for its spread.
  • So, it becomes threatening to native species because when you introduce it into a new ecosystem, it does not have a predator or control. It grows aggressively and takes over the resources for the native species.

Over time, what happens to a trait that is an advantage to an organism?
Charra [1.4K]
I remember back in 10th grade I learned that birds that had beaks that were easier to break the seeds carried those traits to their babies and the whole area had that type of beak since it was necessary to break some seeds. So the beaks that were a disadvantage no longer existed and the beaks that became an advantage passed along to all the other birds.

Side note: if they all had the same beak they could all fight for the same type of seeds and probably have some sort of intense competition but idk if that’s necessary
