In some areas of Florida, manatees gather near spring waters during cold weather because the temperature of the springs is alway

s about 72°F. To protect the manatees and the environment, the government closes these areas to people during certain times of the year. Evaluate the effectiveness of the restrictions since they went into effect in 1985, based on the data below from Ruby Springs.
Manatee Data from Ruby Springs, 1980-2010

Year Manatee Population Manatee Deaths due to Watercraft
1980 273 25
1990 367 10
2000 399 8
2010 453 8

From the data, the manatee population obviously increased after the regulations went into affect  and the deaths due to watercraft reduced from 25 to 8 after the regulations were put into effect. The population increased by 165% from 1980=-2010 and the drop in deaths due to watercraft decreased by 
68%.So this is not a direct correlation but at least it shows that the watercraft deaths decreased significantly. Since the population increased at a greater rate then it may be that more females were spared so could mate and give birth to that many more manatees.

3) Scientists who have examined the fossil record have noted that some species have changed very little over long
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A) "the environment that they lived in remained the same, and they were well-adapted to it".

Explanation:

One of the basis of evolution is that species that face new environmental conditions tend to develop new traits to survive. The opposite applies to species that have lived in constant environmental conditions, these species are usually well-adapted and have changed very little over long periods of geologic time. Some species of tortoises are examples of animals that had changed very little in their evolutionary history. The hard shells of tortoises is an ancient adaptation that help them to survive in constant environmental conditions.
