Which of the following describes the effect of global climate change on biodiversity: Rising ocean water temperatures have incre

ased the populations of krill and Antarctic silverfish thus increasing Adelie penguin populations for whom these are food sources. Warm temperatures and more frequent dry periods have stressed frog species such as the coqui making them more vulnerable to a lethal fungal infection thus reducing their populations. The warming of ocean waters in conjunction with increased carbon dioxide dissolving into ocean has resulted in boon for coral reefs which are thriving. Mountain ecosystems are not too vulnerable to global climate change because only very hardy species live at high altitude.

Answer:

Warm temperatures and more frequent dry periods have stressed frog species such as the coqui making them more vulnerable to a lethal fungal infection thus reducing their populations.

Explanation:

Rise in temperature, flooding as well as drought affect biodiversity. As climate changes, there is usually an alteration of temperature as well as weather patterns, the impact is felt by

plant and animal life. According to

Scientists, there is an expectation that

number and range of species, which are regarded as biodiversity will experience declination with greatly increase in temperatures

Sort the different barriers into their modes of reproductive isolation. A snail with a flat disc-like shell will not be able to
Stella [2.4K]

Answer/Explanation:

Types of reproductive isolation include: temporal, ecological, mechanical, and behavioural.

A snail with a flat disc-like shell will not be able to mate with a snail having a conical shell - this is an example of mechanical isolation, where the animals are physically unable to mate due to incompatible body shapes and sizes.

The reproductive organs of male bush babies do not match with the reproductive organs of females of other bush baby species. - this is another example of mechanical isolation, as the sexual organs will physically not allow reproduction between these species

The mating call of a cricket is not recognized by a cricket of other species - this is an example of behavioural isolation, which results from incompatible mating rituals. I.e. the animals do not respond to each others mating behaviours

The signals sent by a male firefly are not recognized by the female firefly of other species. - this is also an example of behavioural isolation.

Temporal isolation is where species cannot interact because they do not have the same mating seasons or are not active at the same type of day. ?Ecological isolation occurs when two species do not come into physical contact to one another because they access different areas of the habitat. E.g. mating zones, food sources or nesting sites.

Why does the potential energy and the kinetic energy change when the skateboarder is at the top or the bottom of the hill why do
Brut [27]

Answer:

Potential energy is gaining all the way to the top of the hill due to the increase of height (gravitational pull) on the skateboarder. At the top of the hill potential energy will reach its highest point. Then going down kinetic energy increases as potential energy decreases.
