A research study looked at variations in snail populations in urban areas compared to natural ecosystems outside of the urban de

velopment. Urban areas tend to be be warmer, trapping more solar energy and reflecting less light back out of the atmosphere. The study found that brown snails were more commonly found in the natural ecosystem while yellow banded snails were found in the urban, developed areas. Which statement best describes the distribution in the phenotypes for the snails in this scenario?
A) The variations in the snail populations are random and unrelated to the locations.

B) The variation in the snail population is due to sexual reproduction of the snails in the urban development and asexual reproduction of the snails in the natural ecosystem.

C) The variation in the snail population is due to mutations while the distribution of colors in the population is due to genetic drift. The location of the colors is a random process.

D) The variation in the snail populations is due to mutations while the distribution of colors in the population is due to the changes in temperature in the two areas. Lighter colored snails survive with greater frequency in the warmer urban development.

What is One difference between a fundamental niche and a realized niche
anastassius [24]
Fundamental niche is the job/role that one species can have in the environment .
The realized niche is the role of a species influenced by several factors in the environment.
Example:
The fundamental niche of Yellow Warblers is found in a spruce tree.
The realized niche of the Yellow warblers is when they are "forced" to share the spruce tree and remain in one particular area of the tree while other warbler species play defense different niches in other parts of the tree.

:v it is like :
•Fundamental niche: [yellow warbler] "I got my home, all for me..."
~new species arrive to the spruce tree~
•Realized niche: [yellow warbler] oh, shoot! I gotta stay in the upper part/move to the upper part as the others warbler "struggle" to get territory :v or they just choose their own . :v
