FOCUS ON INFORMATION
In Bateslan mimicry, a palatable species gains protection by mimicking an unpalatable one. Imagine that Individuals or a palatable, brightly colored fly species are blown to three remote islands. The first island has no predators of that spec1es; the second has predators but no similarly colored, unpalatable species; and the third has both predators and a similarly colored, unpalatable species. In a short essay (100-150 words), predict what might happen to the coloration of the palatable species on each island over time if coloration is a genetically controlled trail Explain your predictions.

A niche is loosely defined as an organism's role in its environment, which can include factors such as feeding preference, nesting behaviors, mating behaviors, method of obtaining prey, and local habitats. Keeping Gause's law in mind, do some research on the California red-legged frog and the North Pacific tree frog (use wiki or another Google search). Create a chart comparing the two with respect to their niche or lifestyle that can explain how these two frogs can co-exist in the same ecosystem.
Article readings: Why some animals are more important to ecosystem than others.
From the article, list down all the species being described as keystone species and their negative effect when removed from their ecosystem.
Define the ‘Keystone species concept” and differentiate it from “morphological species concept”.
How does a keystone species plays its role in having a trophic cascade scenario? 1 sentence only.
How does extirpation differ from extinction?
Group of answer choices
Extinction and extirpation are the same thing.
Extirpation is the loss of a single population, while extinction is the loss of an entire species.
Extinction only happens during a mass extinction.
Extinction is the loss of a single population, while extirpation is the loss of an entire species.

- CA least tern ENDANGERED ANIMAL is CA least tern questionbases on the bird CA least term Reasons for Endangerment Explain the various factors that have led to this species’ current plight. Expand on these points individually, based on your species’ unique story. Domino Effects As we’ve learned, species are not islands unto themselves; they are integrated with many other organisms in trophic relationships, mutualisms, competition, etc. How is the absence of this species (or its lowered population size) likely to impact the other members of its habitat? (If findings specific to this point are available, please include them – otherwise, I’m asking you to speculate based on what you’ve learned about the biology of this organism.) Conservation Efforts Discuss past, current, and proposed efforts to conserve this species. Are these strategies effective? Are they realistic? What is the outlook for this organism?arrow_forwardSUBJECT : Biology - Ecology How would you describe the slope of a rank-abundance curve that vary with increasing species evenness?arrow_forwardThe ENDANGERED ANIMAL is CA least tern and its a bird 1.

- You are observing two different species of caterpillars feeding on green shrubs in the Sacramento Mountains. One has bright red and yellow stripes, the other is a nondescript greenish color. You hypothesize that the two species have adopted different antipredation strategies. 1) What would these two strategies be called? 2) Which species would you predict is noxious to potential predators and which species is palatable? 3) Which species would you predict would alter its behavior more in the presence of predators? Why?arrow_forwardIn 2011, approximately 23% (1138) of mammal species and 12% (1253) of bird species were globally threatened. These two groups have been thoroughly studied. The case with other groups of organisms is not well known. A large number of the threatened species are concentrated in tropical rain forest habitats, where biodiversity is high. Which of the following data options could be used to determine the cause of biodiversity decline in tropical habitats?arrow_forwardIt's ecology, i need to draw a chart to solve this tho. Thank you!
