The graph above is from a paper by Dave Tilman published in 1994. Which of the following statements is consistent with the graph?
A) The results contradicts the intermediate disturbance hypothesis
B) Increasing diversity increases community stability
C) The results support the intermediate disturbance hypothesis.
Phytoplankton absorb a very small concentration of a pollutant and are then eaten by zooplankton. Smelt eat the zooplankton and then Lake trout eat the smelt. At the top of the food chain, the concentration of the toxic chemical can be so high that it is dangerously toxic to the herring gull or the herring gull's offspring. This is an example of _____.
a
biomagnification
b
bioaccumulation
c
air pollution
d
habitat loss
