Answer:
A particular population limiting factor or factors must have been removed
Explanation:
The population of the birds must have been kept between 30 and 50 individuals by population limiting factors such as the presence of predators within the community or competition for resources such as food or spaces.
For the population to shoot up to 90 all of a sudden, it may be that one or more of the population limiting factors has been removed from the population. <u>It could be that a major predator has been removed from the community or the competition for food/space is now significantly reduced due to more food/space in the community. </u>
Answer:
Variations Within Ecosystems
Ecosystem diversity can be described as a term which is used o describe the changes within an ecosystem and the impact these changes have on the environment and humans.
Variations within an ecosystem can cause genetic drifts. Variations will cause those organisms to survive which are better adapted to survive to the changes which occur in an ecosystem. And the organisms which are not better suited become extinct over a period of time. Hence, this will lead to a wide rise in biodiversity.
The hydrocarbon which would most likely be an alkyne is COMPOUND W WHICH HAS A BOILING POINT OF -23.
This is because, among hydrocarbons, alkynes have the highest boiling points as a result of the triple bonds in their structures.
The boiling points of the other compounds are -103.7, -47 and -75; all these boiling points are lower than that of compound W.
Red foxes are omnivores. Their diet includes small animals such as birds, squirrels, rabbits and mice, but also berries, grasses and insects such as crickets, caterpillars, grasshoppers and beetles. Red foxes are therefore primary as well as secondary consumers, and even apex predators. Their removal from an ecosystem would most likely reduce the predation pressure on small animals and insects, and may result in population explosions of these prey animals. This in turn may result in additional pressure on the ecosystem as these animals exceed the carrying capacity, and could lead to other plant and animal species within the food web being decimated. Basically, the balance of the ecosystem would be lost until a new equilibrium can be established.
