Answer:
fine details such as the wings, legs and other fragile structures are preserved effectively giving us a window into how the preserved organism would have appeared in life. without the presence of amber, we wouldn't be able to examine a majority of small prehistoric organisms.
Explanation: amber is able to preserve a snapshot of the ancient world in ways that other forms of fossilization simple fails to do. while an imprint of a feather could be preserved in rock the actual feather could be captured within amber. Amber also preserves small organisms that otherwise would have been lost to time such as the insects seen in the photo above. And much like the gecko seen below it can show us how these organisms truly appeared in life.
Answer:
d. introduce native flowering plants the adult butterflies need for nectar, their main food.
Explanation:
Organisms choose the habitat based on the availability of basic requirements such as food, nutrients, space, etc. in the region. The absence of one or more of these factors makes them choose another habitat. Butterflies feed on nectar made by plants in their flowers. To make the butterflies stay in the landscape, flowering plants adapted to local conditions should be planted. The butterflies would feed on the nectar of these plants and would stay in the landscape.
Answer:
Explanation:
Food webs describe the relationships — links or connections — among species in an ecosystem, but the relationships vary in their importance to energy flow and dynamics of species populations. Some trophic relationships are more important than others in dictating how energy flows through ecosystems. Some connections are more influential on species population change. Based on different ways in which species influence one another, Robert Paine proposed three types of food webs based on the species of a rocky intertidal zone on the coast of Washington (Ricklefs 2008, Figure 2). Connectedness webs (or topological food webs) emphasize feeding relationships among species, portrayed as links in a food web (Paine 1980). Energy flow webs quantify energy flow from one species to another. Thickness of an arrow reflects the strength of the relationship. Functional webs (or interaction food webs) represent the importance of each species in maintaining the integrity of a community and reflect influence on the growth rate of other species' populations. As shown in Figure 2, limpets Acmaea pelta and A. mitra in the community consume considerable food energy (energy flow web), but removal of these consumers has no detectable influence on the abundance of their resources (functional web). The most effective control was exerted by sea urchin Stronglocentrotus and the chiton Katharina (Ricklefs 2008).
