manatees are shallow water herbivores that face increasing threats. Use your know knowledge of seawater properties to describes some of the reasons why manatee populations are in decline. How can we reverse this decline? Please be sure to reference your article (include information about it) in your answer and define any scientific terms your audience may not know.

Use the information and table to answer the following question. An ecologist is studying a population of mosquitos living in a nearby pond. The ecologist estimates the population size twice a day - once at sunrise and once at sunset - for 5 days during the summer when mosquitos are reproducing. Their data is shown. Based on the data, what is the estimated carrying capacity for the population and what factor may have led to a change in data at day three? a. The estimated carrying capacity is approximately 167 thousand. The population may have decreased during day three because of decreased pressure from a limiting factor such as reduction of predators eating the mosquitos. b. The estimated carrying capacity is approximately 188 thousand. The population may have decreased during day three because of decreased pressure from limiting factors, such as more food being available.c. The estimated carrying capacity is approximately 188 thousand. The population may have decreased during day…
