If fireweed grows densely and uniformly in each clearing how would you describe the overall distribution of fireweed in a forest with many such clearings and forest empty of fireweed between them? Group of answer choices a. exponential b. logistic c. clumped d. overdispersed e. random

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 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. One early study revealed that species on the river had absorbed pollutants from the water. Select the Pollutant Levels in Tissue, by Species dataset and follow the interactive to graph the data. 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. Turtles had a pollutant level about three times that of clams.Turtles had a pollutant level about three times that of clams. No invertebrate (excludes fish and turtles) had a level above 0.05 ppm.No invertebrate (excludes fish and turtles) had a level above 0.05 ppm.
