Which effect would you expect a Species Survival Plan to have on the crested

Biology
1 answer:
babunello [35]2 years ago
4 0

The correct answer is A. Scientists reintroducing crested toads into the wild.

Explanation

Species Survival Plan is a conservation program promoted by conservationists and zoologists that specializes in those animals that are near extinct, endangered, or threatened. This program mainly aims to breed these species in captivity to ensure their future preservation and reintroduction to nature. According to the above, the effect that could be expected from the implementation of the Species Survival Plan in Puerto Rico with the crested toads would be the reintroduction of this species into the wild after being bred in captivity.

A population of wolves predates a population of moose on Isle Royale, Michigan, where there are fewer wolves than moose to start
andrew11 [14]

Complete question:

A population of wolves predates a population of moose on Isle Royale, Michigan, where there are fewer wolves than moose to start. The wolves prey on the moose and eat well, allowing them to have abundant offspring. However, as the wolf population rises, the moose population drops, and over time, the wolf population begins to drop also because of the reduced availability of resources. As the wolf population drops, moose are able to better survive and reproduce, causing the moose population to rise. With this abundance of moose, the wolf population is able to rebound until their population exceeds the moose population’s ability to support the number of wolves. Which population dynamic does this series of oscillations represent?

  1. Delayed density dependence
  2. Delayed density independence
  3. Extinction vortex
  4. Carrying capacity

Answer:

  1. Delayed density dependence

Explanation:

The Delayed density dependence occurs when two species are in interaction (prey-predator or parasite-host), and the dynamic of each population follows the dynamic of the other population. The natality and mortality rates of one species follow the rates of the other species.

<em>Delayed density dependence dynamics regulate populations and allow the occurrence of equilibrium or balance in nature.</em>

<u>Predator-prey scenarios</u>

Assuming that the prey lives in the ideal environment with no predators, it shows an exponential growth rate. Prey can grow, develop, and reproduce, increasing its population size. The more available items, the more predator there will be. The predator population increase in size, and its presence affects the prey populations, leading it to decrease. So there are fewer available items to prey on.    

The prey population also affects the predator population. After the increase in the predator population size, the number of available prey decreases. The predator lives in an ideal environment but depends on the prey density. The more predators there are, the fewer prey there will be left. The predator population decreases exponentially due to the item's lack. The predation rate depends on density as well as natality and mortality rates.

So, to sum up,

  1. prey population increases in size
  2. predator population increases in size
  3. prey population decreases in size
  4. predator population decreases in size

In this particular example, the wolves population follows the moose population and vice-versa. It is not simultaneous. It happens with a delay.

<em>Moose influences the wolf population because they are their source of food. The more moose, the more wolves there are. The fewer moose, the fewer wolves there are. </em>

This is a density-dependent dynamic because both populations are affected when they reach a high value.

almond37 [142]

Answer:

A.) Pollen are well preserved in the sediment layers because they are highly resistant to decay.

B.) Other indicators that can be used to determine past climates are through the analysis of the width of tree rings and the coral reefs formed underwater.

Recent research on men indicates greater muscular strength is associated with lower rates of death from all causes, including ca
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:TRUE

Explanation: Increased muscular Strength develops from increased Physical and aerobic exercise and activities,it has been established that physical activities like running, swimming,jogging, skating etc all have impact in Building one musculoskeletal Strength and it also helps to improve aerobic respiration which in turn will help to burn all excess FATS and CHOLESTEROL levels which has been attributed to major chronic health conditions,CANCER,HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, HYPERTENSION etc.
