Step by step
Solved in 3 steps
- The number of species on an island depends on the size of the island and its distance from a mainland. This statement would most likely be made by _____. a. an explorer b. a biogeographer c. a geologist d. a philosopherGive your response to the following statement: “Eventually, all species become extinct. So it does not reallymatter that the world’s remaining tiger species or atropical forest plant are endangered mostly because ofhuman activities.” Be honest about your reaction, andgive arguments to support your position.How would you respond to someone who says that because extinction is a natural process, we should not worry about the loss of biodiversity when species become extinct largely because of our activities?
- You are part of a restoration ecology program that is attempting to reintroduce an endangeredbird to a new habitat in Michigan, where they have been locally extinct for decades. The species went through an extreme bottleneck after they were almost wiped-out due to insecticide use in the 1960s. Maintaining what limited genetic diversity remains is an important priority, especially because disease spread from other bird speciesrepresents a major threat to the struggling populations of these birds. Captive-bred warblersdestined for this site have been genotyped at a neutral marker locus “D” with two alleles, D95and D135. The genotype counts in the captive animals are as follows:D135/D135 = 12, D135/D95 = 20, and D95/D95 = 48 2a. If all the species are used to start the new population, what is the probability that thepopulation eventually becomes fixed for allele D95 through drift?2b. Let’s assume the population stays the same size (as the number of introduced individuals) inthe new…Can someone please help me to answer 2 question in my biology homework What is biodiversity? Be sure to distinguish genetic diversity, species diversity, and ecosystem diversity. What are some of the benefits to humans of maintaining biodiversity? List at least five. thank youYou are a legislator in a nation with no endangered species act. You want to introduce a law to protect your nation’s biodiversity. Consider theU.S. Endangered Species Act, Canada’s Species at Risk Act, and international efforts such as CITES and the Convention on Biological Diversity. What strategies would you write into your legislation? How would yourlaw be similar to and different from each of these efforts?
- How does extirpation differ from extinction? Group of answer choices Extinction and extirpation are the same thing. Extirpation is the loss of a single population, while extinction is the loss of an entire species. Extinction only happens during a mass extinction. Extinction is the loss of a single population, while extirpation is the loss of an entire species.Please help me to choose one of the best asnwer for this 2 multiple choice questions, Thank you ) which of the following is NOT a definiton for biodiversity? A) the number of individuals in a population B) The variety of ecosystems within a given area C) All of these are possible definitions of biodiversity D)The number of alleles for a particular gene E)The number of species in a community 2)Imagine community with a biodiversity of 25 species.one species is hunted to extinction by humans, after which the community is protected from any human intervention. HOwever a year later you find that biodiversity is down to 5 species.what does this tell you about the species that went extinct due to hunting? A)It was a weak competitor B)It must have been a predator C) it may have been keystone species D) it must have been producer E) It was a virulent pathpgenAnother ecologist reported a diversity index value of 1.511 in a different community nearby the one you studied. This community is _ diverse than the one you calculated. Please see the attached image to get a better grasp of the question. How to Calculate Biodiversity and Ecology College Biology 2 Advanced Concepts Background Information In the Shannon index, p is the proportion (n/N) of individuals of one particular species found (n) divided by the total number of individuals found (N), ln is the natural log, Σ is the sum of the calculations, and s is the number of species... Species Evenness Species evenness takes into account the number of species and the relative abundance of species in a community. Several indices have been proposed. Two of the commonly used measures of evenness are the Shannon index (H) and the Simpson index (D). Question 2: What is the Shannon diversity index value for this community? What is the species evenness for this community?
- Communities are defined by? A). Species whose ranges overlap B). Species that have the same ranges C). physical features of a defined geographic region D). The area occupied by the species with the largest rangeAnswer the following questions briefly: 1. How is the diversity related to a healthy society? 2. What is the difference between species richness and species evenness 3. Differentiate the three levels of biodiversity. Give examples of each one.Guilds describe? A). Species that partition the same resource B). Species which compete for the same resource C). Species that are members of the same taxonomic group D). Species with similar niches living in separate communities
