Q6.10. Which of the following is the best explanation for why extinctions are more likelywith longer growing seasons in this simulation of Isle Royale?With more plants available.moose are healthier on average and can avoid wolves, leading to extinction of the wolves.larger populations of moose and wolves are more vulnerable to environmental fluctuations,increasing the chance of extinction.there is not enough room for moose to move around the island looking for food, leading toextinction of the moose and then the wolves.moose and then wolf populations grow larger during cycle peaks-with enough wolves, all mooseare eaten, leading to extinction for both.

Article readings: Why some animals are more important to ecosystem than others. From the article, list down all the species being described as keystone species and their negative effect when removed from their ecosystem. Define the ‘Keystone species concept” and differentiate it from “morphological species concept”. How does a keystone species plays its role in having a trophic cascade scenario? 1 sentence only.
#15 : Describe three different ways to enhance a protected area’s design. #16: Many factors that impact the effectiveness of protected areas are based upon the edge effect, Island Biogeography Theory or metapopulations. For each of your three ways to enhance protected area design you described in the previous question (#15), explain to which of these biological theories it relates and how.

Species richness of many taxa (birds, trees, etc.) increases from the poles to the equator. Ecologists do not know exactly why, but the following idea(s) is/are well supported by evidence: Question 11 options: - The warmer climates of the tropics have longer growing seasons, more primary productivity and more benign climates which produce a larger resource base for more species and may increase specialization. - Polar and temperate regions have had to “start over” many times after successive glaciations, so species have had to re-colonize those areas. - Extinction rates are lower in tropical areas than temperate areas. --- First and Second Answers are BOTH true. --- Second and Third Answers are BOTH true

Questions about Solar energy websites sources! What are the key points of agreement about Solar energy among the sources? What are the key points of disagreement about Solar energy among the sources? Do any of the sources of Solar energy appear to be outliers? In other words, are there any sources that bring up issues, or make assertions, that the other sources do not discuss? Which sources of Solar energy appear to be the most powerful or influential? Are there sources that all of the other sources deem highly authoritative? Are there any sources about Solar energy whose assertions seem dubious, illogical, or unsupported by the facts? How has thinking changed about Solar energy over time? Are there beliefs that have fallen out of favor? Successful assignments will do the following. Compare at least five sources from reputable publications Demonstrate points of similarities and differences, note patterns, and evaluate source quality
