Why are raptors a indicator species?

Indicator species may provide useful substitute for large scale surveys to monitor biodiversity. Weconducted surveys in the Afro-alpine habitats of the Bale Mountains National Park (BMNP) with theobjective of identifying indicators for the species richness of the raptor guild. Raptors were countedby scan sampling technique from a suitable vintage point. Three classes of 18 sample units groupedaccording to the variability of the moorland ecosystem in the magnitude of process variables importantfor raptor species richness were used in determining the indicator value of species as a function of their abundance concentration and the percentage of species occurrence per sample group. Thisprocedure determined indicator values for all species in the resident raptor community. Comparisonwith randomly expected values demonstrated that only<span> Aquila verreauxii</span>and<span> A. chrysaetos</span>haveindicator values that were significantly larger than the randomly expected values. The species richnessestimated using the abundances of these two species predicted the observed species richness of thewhole community in a linear regression model that explained 66% of the deviance in the data set.Furthermore, the species richness of the community predicted by process variables had correlation of very high significance with that predicted by the indicator species. We have thus identified twoindicator species to a raptor guild of the BMNP and demonstrated that these two species encapsulatedmost of the information regarding the species richness response of the guild to key process variablesin the Afro-alpine moorland ecosystem. Our findings contribute significantly to current and futureefforts of monitoring the biodiversity of the park providing a cheap and quick means of data generation<span>relevant for making management decisions.                               Hope this helped! :)</span>

What were Punnett squares developed to do?
WITCHER [35]

Answer: to predict the probability of offspring genotypes

Explanation: Punnett squares are developed to predict the probability of offspring genotype. Punnett square is a square shaped diagram used for predicting the possible genotypes of a cross between two organisms. Punnett square is named after Reginald C. Punnett, who invented the approach. In punnett squares, the genotypes of the parents are written on the top and left hand side of the square while the possible genotypes of their offsprings are written in the boxes.

Some _____ fungi can be eaten, but there are also some that are harmful to plant life, like wheat rust.
kaheart [24]

Answer:A. club

Explanation:

Fungi are eukaryotic organisms .they are feed on dead, decaying matter because they lack chloroplast. Most fungi are parasitic or symbiotic.

Fungi lacks root, stem and leaves. They however posses threadlike filaments called hyphae, which forms a larger mass called mycellium. Fungi reproduce asexually by spores. The classification of fungi are;

#zygomycetes, also called conjugation fungi .eg bread mold

#ascomycetes, also called sac fungi eg baker's yeast

#deuteromycota, also called imperfect fungi eg penicillium

#basidiomycetes .they are the commonly known mushrooms. They grow on wood and trees. Most of their species are edible. They are also called club fungi

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THESE QUESTIONS!
Elodia [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Which chamber receives blood from all the body veins?

= Right atrium

2. The blood passes from this chamber into the ...

= Right ventricle

While this is happening, the valve between the right atrium and right ventricle is (open OR closed)

= open

3. The blood in the right ventricle is high in (oxygen OR carbon dioxide)

= carbon dioxide

4. The body (can OR cannot) and low in (oxygen OR carbon dioxide) use this blood.

= cannot

= oxygen

5. Where must this blood go to get a fresh supply of oxygen?

= lungs

Hope this helps!
