A wetland is filled in in order to build some beachfront properties. This wetland was a stopping point for migratory birds along their migration (not an ultimate destination). What is a likely outcome of this scenario? O The birds may experience fatigue/weakness/hunger from a lack of a resting point, which could have negative fitness consequences The birds will adjust their ultimate destination closer to make up for the missing "rest stop" O The birds will be unaffected and simply go to the next wetland they encounter O The birds will simply rest in the same area, just on buildings instead of in a natural habitat

Upland game hunters in Illinois have been noticing a decrease in therabbit and pheasant populations over the past five years. They havelobbied the Department of Natural Resources and the statelegislature to allow them to shoot red-tailed hawks, one of therabbit’s and pheasant’s main predators. Explain why shooting hawkswill not ultimately solve the problem of a decreased rabbit andpheasant population
Whichof the following factors can stabilize predator-prey relationships by providinga prey refuge?a.An area of prey habitat where predators cannot enterb.An area of prey habitat that is isolated and difficult for predators tofindc.The occurrence of prey in numbers too large for predators to attackeffectivelyd.The ability of prey to grow to a size invulnerable to predatione.All of the choices apply.
The Atlantic cod population is of primary economic importance to fishingcommunities throughout the maritime provinces in Canada. Unfortunately, thispopulation has underwent an extreme collapse in recent years due to overfishing.Some argue, however, that the collapse of the cod population may actually beattributed to an increase in the population of harp seals, a known predator ofcod. One suggestion to help cod stocks recover is therefore to permit the huntingof harp seals on a large scale. Suggest and explain one potentially negativeconsequence of limiting the harp seal population.
