All but one species of large birds native to New Zealands tropical forests are now extinct. Numbers of the one surviving species, the kereru (Hemiphaga, novae seelandine), are declining rapidly due to habitat loss, poaching, predation, and interspecies competition that wiped out the other native birds. The keruru is the only remaining dispersal agent for several native tress that produce big seeds and fruits, mainly because it is the only remaining species that can swallow big fruits (left) and expel big seeds whole. One of these trees, the puriri (Vitex lucens), is New Zealands most valued hardwood. Explain, in terms of natural selection, what would happen to puriri trees in New Zealand if the kereru becomes extinct.
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 philosopher
Mountain gorillas are a highly endangered primate species, with 800 or so individuals surviving in the two remaining populations. A recent sampling of mountain gorilla genomes revealed a very low level of genetic diversity. Explain why a decline in genetic diversity often accompanies a decline in population size.
1. Explain how all 4 of the evolutionary aspects (mutation, gene flow,selection, and genetic drift) affect/have affected dogs for better or worse in present time ( or past time if relevant). Provide specific examples. 2. Explain how all 4 of the ecological interaction (mutualism, competition, predation, parasitism) affect/have affected dogs. Provide specifiv examples. Thank you
4. Bird guides once listed the myrtle warbler and Audubon’swarbler as distinct species.
