10. Brown pelicans are fish-eating birds. As a result of an El-Nino event, the population of brown pelicans in southern Californ

ia declines. Which of the following best explains the relationship between the El Nino event and the population decline?
A. Warmer ocean temperatures can cause fish to move to colder water further from pelican nest sites

B. Lower sea surface heights can result in pelican nest sites being isolated too far from their food supply in the ocean

C. The female reproductive tract of birds does not function at the lower water temperatures of El Nino

D. Male pelicans get disoriented due to the lack of moisture and fail to return to the nest with food

E. Predatory seal population increase dramatically due to decreased rainfall

Answer:

Warmer ocean temperatures can cause fish to move to colder water farther from pelican nest sites

Explanation:

climate change is an important factor that affects the migration of fish from one place to the other. fish is seen to migrate/move from a warm water(heat) to a cold water/region so as to ensure their survival. the activities of man has affect the climate of our environment causing more heat the water bodies.

the gradual rise in the temperature of the ocean is forcing this species to leave their natural habitat.

We can see some of the most important patterns Darwin noticed in distribution of organisms by looking at his observations of the Galápagos Islands off the coast of Ecuador. Darwin found that nearby islands in the Galápagos had similar but nonidentical species of finches living on them.

There are two species of freshwater shrimp that are introduced to a pond. The first species, Caridina cantonensis, is brightly c
Marina86 [1]

Explanation:

Natural selection is the mechanism that is responsible for the evolution of organisms.  

In the given case, the Freshwater shrimp has been introduced to a pond in which the two species with variations are introduced.  

The <em>C. cantonensis </em>is brighter in color whereas the <em>C. multidentata</em> is mottled drab in color. The predator fish can feed easily on the species which is brighter therefore <em>C. cantonensis</em> is more susceptible. The mottled drab species is not easily predated by the species.  

The 30 % offsprings of <em>C. cantonensis</em> can survive till the reproductive age  whereas 75% of C. multidentata. This shows that natural selection has acted on the color of the shrimp species selected against the predator fish species.

The species with mottled drab color is the result of the differential reproductive rate.
