In a particular woodland community, two species of rodents coexist: mice and chipmunks. Both species compete for the same kinds

of seeds and nuts. A species of owl that also lives in this woodland community preys on both rodent species. The population sizes of all three species remained fairly constant until several years ago, when the introduction of a parasite dramatically reduced the owl population. The owl population remained low for the next few years as a result. Following the initial reduction in the owl population, there was a dramatic increase in the mouse population and a dramatic decrease in the chipmunk population. Based on these observations, describe the role of the owl in this community and discuss the interspecific competition between chipmunks and mice.

Answer:

First, we take the owl out, the total number of mouse increases at a higher rate and the chipmunks are also decreasing in numbers. In an ideal ecosystem, both mice (lets call it "a") and chipmunks (lets call it "b") should increase since the restraining factor has been removed. But that is the opposite of what we should see. In that case, we will take the owl to be the "limiting factor" for the rodents.

Am

The rodents will have free movement and exercise their fitness over the area, competition sets in between the two species. So we see, a flourishes while b dies out. This can be viewed most predictably that a has an overall greater fitness and would easily get resources and strive readily, which influences the survival rate for 2.

Hope you got something in any realm of understanding?

Name three invasive species and the specific location on Earth that they are affecting.
yan [13]

Answer:

Rats - Virgin Island

Hemlock - Asia

Zebra moulds - Great Lakes

Explanation:

An alien species is one that was introduced into a new environment, but does not have harmful effects. Such alien species are considered invasive species as they begin to have harmful effects on the new habitat. Invasive species can cause damage to the ecosystem, economic harm or human health effects.

Three invasive species are as following:

  1. Rats that came on board ships to the Virgin Islands infested the islands' sugar cane fields and caused significant crop damage.
  2. The woolly adelgid hemlock is an invasive Asian insect which rapidly kills infested hemlock trees.
  3. Zebra moulds in the Great Lakes can easily cover submerged surfaces, obstructing water intakes at water treatment plants and power plants

Ryan hears a loud noise and quickly turns his eyes sideways in the direction of the sound. To accomplish this action he must use
maksim [4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is lateral rectus muscles.

Explanation:

To see what is happening in his side, or what originated the loud noise, Ryan has to use his lateral rectus muscle. Lateral rectus is one of the five extra ocular muscles that help in movement of the eye balls and help to see what is happening in and around us. It is mostly responsible for abduction, i.e. the movement of the eye balls away from the center line of the body. Defect in this muscle can result in sixth nerve palsy.
