Question
What does the study of the European Brown Bear suggest about humans and animal extinctions?
It supports the Overkill Hypothesis, where human hunting results in mass extinctions |
||
It shows that warming summer temperatures was the main reason for bear extinctions |
||
It shows how a combination of climate change and human hunting can drive species extinctions |
||
It shows how extinctions only occur during periods of climate warming |
||
It suggests that the Romans were likely responsible for earlier megafaunal extinctions in Europe |

- Suppose a team of scientists uncovers a new species of small, predatory mon deep in the jungles of South America. To better understand the organism's history, each member of the scientific team investigates a different aspect of the animal's ecology. Identify the type of ecological system this researcher is studying: Beverly investigates how interactions between the mammal species and different types of prey influence the amount of available phosphorous in the area.

A species with an extensive geographic range and large local populations cannot be vulnerable to extinction. O Once species are the list of endangered species, they can never recover. O Species that are the most vulnerable to extinction have small population sizes, broad habitat tolerances, and narrow geographic ranges. O The majority of bird species that have gone extinct were those restricted to islands.arrow_forwardFind and describe an example where life tables have helped in conservation efforts or invasive species control (aside from the turtle example).

- Is the following statement consistent with the provided data? Answer TRUE if the statement is consistent with the data.Answer FALSE if the statement is not consistent with the data. 1. The evolution of freeze tolerance involves some factors that were not shaped directly by natural selection. 2. Because of their freeze tolerance, wood frogs may colonise more of the remainder of the island of Newfoundland than the leopard frog. 3. The distribution of the wood frog and leopard frog supports character displacement as a plausible hypothesis for why they overlap.arrow_forwardch N S QUESTION 1 Standing upright helped our ancestors scan across savannas for potential predators.

- The reason we are able to fuel our cars and power our cities is due to the absence of certain organisms during the Carboniferous Period. Those organisms, that evolved later, are: O Wood eating animals, like herbavores Wood eating bacteria and fungi Wood eating birds like woodpeckers Wood eating termitesarrow_forwardAdaptive radiations will most likely occur in areas where; The climate is the same year round The landscape is mostly homogenous and all of the habitats are similar to each other The landscape has very limited soil nutrients The landscape is highly variable and there are many different habitatsarrow_forwardhe Cretaceous extinction, which was the most recent mass extinction, occurred about 65.5 million years ago. What is the leading hypothesis to explain the Cretaceous extenction? The Indian sub-continent collided with the Asian techtonic plate, giving rise to the Hymalayan mountains which altered the jet stream and caused the planet to enter an ice age A new group of predators evolved that were significantly better at capturing prey, to the point that they drove many species (including other predators and eventually themselves) to extinction Massive amounts of volcanic activity released tons of CO2, enough to significantly increase the temperature of the planet An asteroid about 6 km in diameter collided with Earth, which vaporized the caribbean ocean, set fire to north and south America, and expelled enough dust into the atmosphere to block the sun enough to result in a winter like environment all across the globe for several yearsarrow_forward
