The Barton Springs salamander is an endangered species found only inthree adjacent springs in the city of Austin, Texas. There is growingconcern that a chemical spill on a nearby freeway could pollute thespring and wipe out the species. To provide a source of salamanders torepopulate the spring in the event of such a catastrophe, a proposal hasbeen made to establish a captive breeding population of the salamanderin a local zoo. You are asked to provide a plan for the establishment ofthis captive breeding population, with the goal of maintaining as muchof the genetic variation of the species as possible. What factors mightcause loss of genetic variation in the establishment of the captivepopulation? How could loss of such variation be prevented? With theassumption that only a limited number of salamanders can bemaintained in captivity, what procedures should be instituted to ensurethe long-term maintenance of as much variation as possible?
The Lazy River Environmental Group is a group of fishermen and environmentalists that have worked to assess and clean up the pollution from an old factory on the Lazy River.

Which statement(s) correctly describe the graph? (Check all that apply.) The two species with highest levels are both fish.The two species with highest levels are both fish.

Recent research has suggested that globalwarming is contributing to the increased fre-quency and severity of El Niño events. Thiscan cause severe drought in India andAfrica, as well as greatly reduce fish catch inparts of the Southern Hemisphere. Shouldthe responsibility for decreasing greenhousegas emissions be greater for more-developedcountries (MDCs) because they produce agreater amount of greenhouse gases percapita than less-developed countries(LDCs), even though El Niños have moresevere consequences for LDCs?
