Over the past 60 years, many amphibian species have experienced significant population declines and some species have become ext

inct. Scientists suspected that local human activities such as the destruction of wetlands, regional pollution, and deforestation were the main reasons for these losses. However, research over the past 20 years reveals significant amphibian population declines in protected areas of the world, such as nature preserves and parks. These global declines suggest widespread problems including increased ultraviolet radiation, acid rain, and disease. In Switzerland, for example, 14 of the 20 native amphibian species are threatened with extinction.
Chytridiomycosis is a fungal disease first identified in 1998 as a cause of massive amphibian deaths. In some severely impacted populations, a few individuals have survived, perhaps because of some natural resistance. If these resistant individuals continue to survive and prosper, new resistant populations might emerge. This would be an example of ______.
A. the founder effect
B. sexual selection
C. genetic drift
D. natural selection
E. artificial selection

Soon after a fracture occurs, the body acts to protect the injured area, and forms a protective blood clot and callus around the fracture. New "threads" of bone cells start to grow on both sides of the fracture line.

How does carbon dioxide affect the ecosystem
FrozenT [24]

As a greenhouse gas that absorbs heat, CO2 raises the temperature of the atmosphere. We refer to this as global warming. The glaciers will melt more quickly as the world's temperature rises, raising sea levels and bringing on disaster. More power is consumed for air conditioning as the temperature rises, which further raises the air's CO2 level.

Since coal is the primary fuel utilized in the creation of power. This creates a vicious cycle.
