Why are raptors a indicator species?

Arturiano [62]4 years ago

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 the process and energy needed?
leva [86]

Answer:

C. Diffusion and no energy needed.

Explanation:

A - Passive transport doesn't require energy.

B - Osmosis would be if the 25% H2O went into the 82%

D - Active transport doesn't apply because molecules aren't moving across into a higher concentration.

Diffusion is when parts of the 82% go into the 25%.

Which of the following promotes closure of the minivalves associated with lymph capillaries?
Molodets [167]

Answer:

increasing pressure inside the lymph capillary

Explanation:

Lymph is a fluid like the blood which carry the White blood cells which can fight against the infection. The lymph flows in separate vessels called lymphatic vessels.

The lymphatic vessel is very thin-walled smooth muscle containing tube-like structure which allows the transport of lymph.

The lymph vessel like blood vessel contains the valves called mini valves which prevent the backward flow of the lymph.

When the pressure in the tiny lymph capillaries which supplies lymph to the organs increases, the mini valves closes to prevent backflow of lymph and is the mechanism of lymph flow.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.
