I don’t see any labels, but remember that humans are a great example of a k-selected species. High rates of parental care leads to high survivorship of offspring, and thus negates the need to have large amounts of offspring.
R-selected species are quite the opposite. They produce large amounts of offspring at many intervals in an attempt to maximize survivorship, as they don’t have strong parental involvement with their young. Think of insects.
So if we eat a particular kind of food, and it has a particular kind of carbon in it, that's recorded in us, in our tissues, in our hair, in our fingernails, in the muscles
The ongoing active collision of the Indian and Eurasian continental plates challenges one hypothesis for plate motion which relies on subduction. ... The collision and associated decrease in the rate of plate movement are interpreted to mark the beginning of the rapid uplift of the Himalayas.
Secondary succession is the infer kind of succession that will take place on an abandoned, unpaved country road.
Secondary succession is termed as one of the two types of ecological succession in the life of a plant.
It is a process which is being started by an event for example harvesting, hurricane, and forest fire. which reduces an established ecosystem. Secondary succession occurs in a pre-existing soil and it is the ecological succession that occurs after the initial succession which has been disrupted and some animals and plants still exist.
*Given
Percent of the wolves which are female - 55%
Percent of the wolves which hunt
in medium-sized packs - 20%
Percent of the wolves which are both
female and hunt in medium-sized
packs - 15%
*Solution
<u>Assuming that there is a total of one hundred wolves in the species, </u>
1. Since percent (%) means "per 100" or "for every 100" then,
a. The number of female wolves is
(55 female wolves / 100 wolves) * 100 wolves total = 55 female wolves
b. The number of wolves that hunt in medium-sized packs is
(20 wolves / 100 wolves) * 100 wolves total = 20 wolves
Note that the 20 wolves is a mixture of male and female wolves.
c. The number of female wolves that hunt in medium-sized packs is
(15 female wolves / 100 wolves) * 100 wolves total = 15 female wolves
2. Because there is a total of 55 female wolves in the species, and 15 of these wolves hunt in medium-sized packs, then the number of female wolves that do not hunt in medium-sized packs is,
55 female wolves total - 15 female wolves hunting = 40 female wolves not
in medium-sized packs hunting in medium
sized packs
3. To find the proportion, we can express the answer in terms of percent (%) or in fraction, which is usually how proportions are expressed.
For every 100 wolves, there are 40 female wolves that do not hunt in medium-sized packs. This can be expressed as a proportion of
<span> <u> 40 </u>
</span> 100
and simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 10, we get,
<span><u> 40/10 </u>
</span> 100/10
<span><u> 4 </u>
</span> 10
When this is expressed in percent, we multiply the fraction or proportion by 100% to get,
<span><u> 4 </u> x 100% = 40%
</span> 10
Thus, the proportion of female wolves that do not hunt in medium sized packs is 4/10 or 0.4. When expressed as percent, this is 40%.
