The goldenrod gall fly lays its eggs on the goldenrod plant. The larval fly causes the plant to form a structure called a gall in which the larva lives until it becomes an adult fly. The flies cannot reproduce without goldenrod. The distribution of the goldenrod gall fly is primarily determined by Group of answer choices -random chance -biotic factors -abiotic factors
Geographer, historian, and author Jared Diamond (1987) once referred to agriculture as "the worst mistake in the history of the human race." Given what you have learned about the health consequences of the domestication of plants and animals for humans, how would you respond to his statement? You may find this article helpful in your discussion response: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4163920/
Oaks in California are suffering from a phenomenon called sudden oak death (SOD). This has the potential to convert oak-dominated communities to communities made up of mostly grasses and smaller plants. How would this change the abundances of the tick species described in the article? Make a prediction for each of the three most abundant species, and describe the specific results in this article that justify your prediction.

Giraffes are herbivores found in Africa. They prefer to eat twigs and leaves from acacia trees. This type of producer–consumer relationship can be described as a predator–prey relationship or parasitism. Explain an instance the giraffe–acacia tree relationship would be parasitic and not predatior-prey.

The Barton Springs salamander is an endangered species found only in a single spring in the city of Austin, Texas. There is growing concern that a chemical spill on a nearby freeway could pollute the spring and wipe out the species. To provide a source of salamanders to repopulate the spring in the event of such a catastrophe, a proposal has been made to establish a captive breeding population of the salamander in a local zoo. The zoo was asked to provide a plan for establishing this captive breeding population, with the goal of maintaining as much of the genetic variation of the species as possible in the captive population. What factors are likely to lead to a loss of genetic variation in the captive population?
Ants form associations with many types of other insects that feed on the sap of plants.One of these types of insects is an Ecuadorian tree hopper. You think that theassociation between the ants and treehoppers might be a mutualism. Tree hoppersfeed on plants, and the ants feed on the “honeydew” that is excreted as waste by thetreehoppers. In return, the ants may protect the treehoppers from predators les and controls should follow from your methods.QUESTIONS1.

Ragwort is a noxious weed. It is a major problem in Victoria’s Strzelecki, Otway and Dandenong ranges. More than 1000 dairy farms are affected by the weed. Biological control involves introducing a living predator (plant or animal) to control the species rather than using a chemical pesticide. Researchers are examining the use of beetles and moths as a biological control for ragwort. The beetles and moths will feed on the weed. This is an alternative to using chemical pesticides to kill the ragwort. For biological control to contribute to ecologically sustainable development, it is essential that. pesticide companies maintain profits. food production is high in all regions. there is community support for biological control. biological control does not degrade the environment for future generations.

In spadefoot toads there are two forms of the tadpoles: omnivores and carnivores. Environmental factors such as population density, oxygen concentration, and availability of food determine which form any particular tadpole takes. Consider the situation below. A single pair of toads produces a fertilized group of eggs in a pond. The pond dries a bit creating two separate ponds, one is deep and the other is shallow. All the tadpoles in the deep pond become omnivores and all the tadpoles in the deep pond become carnivores. There is a heavy rain and the ponds become connected again and the two groups of tadpoles mix together. The carnivores eat most of the omnivores and more of the carnivores become adult toads This is an example of Group of answer choices A. natural selection and evolution B. evolution only C. natural selection only
The Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973 has helped to slow the destruction of habitat and the loss of species in the United States. There are now many success stories of animals/plants that were on the edge of extinction and now are returning. Even with the success stories there are many who criticize ESA. I want you to give at least 2 examples (with explanation) that show the success and need for The Endangered Species Act. And give 2 reasons why ESA is still criticized after all these years.
