Answer:

The description about population according ecologists is as follows:

Explanation:

Thre are various ecological aspects studied by the ecologist in the ecosystem and one of them is Population ecology. According the ecolgists all member or total individuals of a particular species present in an ecological community is Population.

There are different asppects of the population ecology that helps in the understanding the population such as size of population, growth of population nter and intra- intractions of population. All these aspects are part of population ecology studied by the ecologists.

Subtractive process is used to form sculpture is by removing material from a block or mass of wood, stone, or any other material. This is usually done with sharpened tools.
Carving is one of the oldest sculptural techniques. Whereas, casting, modeling, and assembling are the other three techniques. 

Sculptural materials that are soft, pliable, and are easily manipulated possess ephemeral property. Examples of such materials are plaster of Paris, wax, unfired clay, and plasticine<span>.</span>

List and explain the 3 paths natural selection can take.
evablogger [386]

Answer:

1. Stabilizing Selection  

2. Directional Selection  

3. Disruptive Selection  

Explanation:

Stabilizing Selection  

This type of natural selection occurs when there are selective pressures working against two extremes of a trait and therefore the intermediate or “middle” trait is selected for. If we look at a distribution of traits in the population, it is noticeable that a standard distribution is followed:

Example:  For a plant, the plants that are very tall are exposed to more wind and are at risk of being blown over. The plants that are very short fail to get enough sunlight to prosper. Therefore, the plants that are a middle height between the two get both enough sunlight and protection from the wind.

Directional Selection  

This type of natural selection occurs when selective pressures are working in favour of one extreme of a trait. Therefore when looking at a distribution of traits in a population, a graph tends to lean more to one side:

Example: Giraffes with the longest necks are able to reach more leaves to each. Selective pressures will work in the advantage of the longer neck giraffes and therefore the distribution of the trait within the population will shift towards the longer neck trait.

Disruptive Selection  

This type of natural selection occurs when selective pressures are working in favour of the two extremes and against the intermediate trait. This type of selection is not as common. When looking at a trait distribution, there are two higher peaks on both ends with a minimum in the middle as such:

Example: An area that has black, white and grey bunnies contains both black and white rocks. Both the traits for white and black will be favored by natural selection since they both prove useful for camouflage. The intermediate trait of grey does not prove as useful and therefore selective pressures act against the trait.
