The Southern Oscillation is in a negative phase when pressures are higher in Darwin than in Tahiti.
The Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) is a standardized index that is derived from the observed changes in sea level pressure (SLP) between Tahiti and Darwin, Australia. This index is used to predict future weather patterns. During El Nio and La Nia events, the SOI is one measurement of the large-scale fluctuations in air pressure that occur between the eastern and western tropical Pacific. These changes can be attributed to the Southern Oscillation. In general, when time series of the SOI are smoothed, a very good correlation with variations is seen in the temperatures of the oceans throughout the eastern tropical Pacific. The negative phase of the SOI indicates that the air pressure in Tahiti is lower than normal while the air pressure in Darwin is higher than normal. Extended periods of negative Southern oscillation index values coincide with ocean temperatures over the eastern tropical Pacific that are abnormally warm (cold), which is typical of El Nio (La Nia) events.

The preferred prey item would be frogs.
What is optimal foraging theory?
It is a theory in ecology that proposes that predating animals that get the most energy from minimal efforts are favored by natural selection.
In order words, selection forces prefer investing minimum energy in order to extract maximally available energy.
In this case, the heron needs to use the lowest time to harvest the maximum energy possible. Since all the preys offer the same amount of energy, the one that requires the lowest time would be preferable for the heron.
In other words, frogs would be the most preferable prey.

Answer:
Both mosses and ferns undergo alterations of generations. ... The gametophyte is prominent is mosses, but the sporophyte is prominent in ferns. The sporophyte of ferns is differentiated into true leaves, stem, and roots. In contrast, mosses lack true leaves, stem or roots.

Answer:
The goal of transcription is to make a RNA copy of a gene's DNA sequence. For a protein-coding gene, the RNA copy, or transcript, carries the information needed to build a polypeptide (protein or protein subunit). Eukaryotic transcripts need to go through some processing steps before translation into proteins.
