By law, one of the habitats must be left intact to satisfy the zoning laws. The developer works with an environmental engineer to choose which of the habitats should be saved. The environmental engineer suggests that Site C should be saved. Which of the following choices best justifies this decision?Responses A) Site C has greater species richness and species evenness than either Site A or Site B. This will promote the maximum sustainability for future generations of animals. B) Site C is tied with Site A for greatest species richness, but unlike Site A, it has representative species from all 3 of the sites within it. C) Site C not only contains the greatest number of species, it also has the greatest genetic diversity within each species.

When this happens, it often follows that the diversity of species in the biological communities is reduced. Based on this observation, how would you characterize lobsters? a keystone organism a decomposer a crustacean a superior predator a producer The composition of a community refers to the nutrients available in the soil. type of succession that occurs locally. sunlight available to drive the energy needed for metabolism. extent vegetation covers the ground--a desert has low composition. types of species adapted to living there. Small fish sometimes swim very close to large predatory fishes such as sharks. There is no risk since the shark does not feed on these smaller fish. The small fish are able to eat the remains of prey such as seals that the shark rips apart when eating.…arrow_forward
