A private reptile breeding facility near the Everglades was destroyed by Hurricane Andrew in 1992. This event contributed to the original influx quantities of pythons in the wild. Pet owners also contributed to the introduction of these reptiles to the Everglades by releasing pets that had grown too large to care for. These reptiles are considered species to this ecosystem. can someone please write an explanation that describes the impact of the Burmese python on the Everglades? Claim: Evidence: Reasoning:

INTERPRET DATA Examine the top and middle graphs in Figure 54-5. Are these examples of exponential or logistic population growth? Where is K in each graph? (You may need to refer to Chapter 53 to answer these questions.) RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The top and middle graphs show how each species of Paramecium flourishes when grown alone. The bottom graph shows how they grow together, in competition with each other. In a mixed culture, P. aurelia outcompetes P. caudatum, resulting in competitive exclusion. SOURCE: Adapted from G.F. Gause, The Struggle for Existence (Williams and Wilkins, Baltimore, 1934). Figure 54-5 G.F. Gauses classic experiment on interspecific competition
Define natural capital. Define natural resourcesand ecosystem services, and give two examples ofeach. Give three examples of how we are degradingnatural capital. Explain how finding solutions to environmental problems involves making trade-offs.Explain why individuals matter in dealing with theenvironmental problems we face. What are threesocial science principles of sustainability? Whatis full-cost pricing and why is it important?
Ecosystems include which of the following components that communities do not?a. energy transfer between membersb. interaction with the physical environmentc. intricate food websd. herbivores and carnivores
Which of the following statements about the concept of ecological niche is correct? A species' realized niche, may or may not be the same as its fundamental niche The fundamental niche of a species includes biotic and abiotic factors while the realized niche only includes biotic factors A species' fundamental niche is always smaller than its realized niche A niche is the same as a habitat
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.
A niche is loosely defined as an organism's role in its environment, which can include factors like, feeding preference, nesting behaviors, mating behaviors, method of obtaining prey, and local habitats. Considering Gause's law, conduct research on the California Red Legged Frog and the Northern Pacific TreeFrog (use wiki or other google search). Create a chart that compares the two with regard to their niche or their lifestyle that may explain how these two native frogs have evolved to coexist in the same ecosystem. Northern Pacific TreeFrog California Red Legged Frog
All of these organisms except for one, belong to the same trophic level. Which one doe not belong? - Fern - Krill - Oak Tree - Phytoplankton - Algae - Grass - Moss
