Erwin and Scott used an insecticidal fog to knock down insects from the top section of a L. seemannii tree. The researchers iden

tified over 900 species of beetles among the individuals that fell. Erwin also projected that this entire tree from top to bottom is host to about 600 arthropod species that are unique to this tree species and not found on any other tree species. There are approximately 50,000 species of tropical trees. Although it could not be entirely accurate, what would be the best way to estimate the total number of arthropod species?

What is the term for a fruit that develops from tissues other than the ovary?
bekas [8.4K]

The correct answer is D. Accessory fruit

Explanation.

Fruits are structures that develop from the fertilized ovary of plants and that contain the seed of it, this includes simple, aggregate and multiple fruits. However, there is one type of fruits that do not develop from ovary but from other tissues that are usually near the ovary, these fruits are called accessory or pseudo fruits as they do not fit completely the definition of regular fruits, this includes fruits such as strawberries or pineapples that develop from tissues different to the ovary.

Is the current rate of species loss 10 times the typical rate of extinction?
Anika [276]
The natural rate of extinction as assumed by science is about 5 species per year. Currently scientists estimate we are losing species at 1000-10000 times that rate, with multiple species disappearing every day. A note on this idea is that the average extinction rate gives an unrealistic depiction of nature when we consider the catastrophic extinction events that ended the dinosaurs and shaped the ice age.
