With antibiotic resistance rising, researchers are lookingfor ways to reduce use of these drugs. Some cattle oncefed antibiotic-laced food now get probiotic feed that canbolster populations of helpful bacteria in the animal’sgut. The idea is that if a large population of beneficialbacteria is in place, then harmful bacteria cannot becomeestablished or thrive. Which ecological principle is guiding this practice?

SCIENTIFIC INQUIRYINTERPRET THE DATA The feather moss Pleurozium schreberiharbors species of symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria.Scientists studying this moss in northern forests found thatthe percentage of the ground surface “covered” by the mossincreased from about 5% in forests that burned 35 to 41 yearsago to about 70% in forests that burned 170 or more years ago.From mosses growing in these forests, they also obtained thefollowing data on nitrogen fixation: Age(years after fire) N fixation rate[kg N/(ha · yr)] 35 0.001 41 0.005 78 0.08 101 0.3 124 0.9 170 2.0 220 1.3 244 2.1 270 1.6 300 3.0 355 2.3

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? Aside from the recent increases in gasolineprices, would you consider buying a morefuel-efficient car or spend more on planeflights to purchase "carbon credits" to doyour part in decreasing the emission ofgreenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide?Why or why not?
