Background
As an expert in the field of mammalian reproductive strategies, you have been hired by the Department of
Nature and Island Resources of the West Indies. This organization is a cooperative of several West Indies
islands concerned with the loss of biological diversity on their island nations as tourism and development
continue to grow. Scientists working on the island of St. Kitts and its sister island Nevis have uncovered what
appears to be a previously undiscovered species of rodent.
Based on the original description of this animal, it was placed in a genus within the squirrel family. What
you have been hired to do is to help save the population on St. Kitts, which is small and threatened by
development. The population is so small that individuals are having difficulty finding mates and, in many
cases, the reproductive seasons are being delayed by up to one year. When you arrive in the region and begin
your observations, you notice that the Nevis population is very healthy…
Respond to the following paragraph below?
I've been thinking a lot about the theories of why humans evolved to become bipedal, and have been watching a lot of specials on YouTube. One of the things that interests me, is one of the ancient human ancestors evolved to be a mixed form of bipedal and not. I find that extremely interesting, because at the time that this being lived Africa was still largely covered in dense jungle/forest and the being still has to climb trees. It was the perfect inbetween of humans and apes or chimps. There was still some m grabbing capability in its feet to allow it to imb trees, but was also able to straighten and reach for higher places. In the video the theory is that these primitive apes needed to reach higher food that others weren't able to, and also had to carry the food for longer distances. One thing that continues from this was the African landscape starting to shift from jungle to savana. With walking upright, they took less heat from the sun,…
Question:-
What is a plausible hypothesis that describes a possible mechanism to explain the differences between the forest and domestic forms in terms of their specific preferences for humans versus non-human animals.

Group of answer choices

What ecological issues were facing Yellowstone National Park when wolves were no longer there, and how were the researchers going to test the questions they wanted to ask? In 4 – 6 sentences, summarize the Methods section of this paper. One of the questions the researchers asked when they began their experiment was “With wolves now back on the Yellowstone landscape for 15 years, how has the reintroduction of wolves affected the recruitment of the woody browse species?” Use data from the Ripple and Beschta paper to support your answer. In any scientific paper, the Discussion is often the most hard-hitting, and where researchers elaborate and explain their results in the context of their experiment and the real world.

- Come up with five ethical guidelines for research. Write statements that reflect your own views of what is right and wrong. If you really love animals, an example of one guideline might be "No animals may be used in research of any kind." However, when coming up with these guidelines, be thoughtful about what they really mean. Think of the information you read about earlier. Try to phrase your guidelines in a way that would allow research that you think would be beneficial to still be done. You may find that certain circumstances may cause you to rethink your own ethics!arrow_forwardIn two to three paragraph.

- Please answer all for the UPVOTE. This is just a TRUE or FALSE. No long explanation is needed. BIOLOGY A. In the 1810s, Charles Darwin outlined a comprehensive theory of evolution in which animals in the course of their lives become more complex and better adapted and then pass these changes onto their offspring.

Ernst Haeckel’s “tree of life is a sort of linear deontological version of evolution. D.

Pls & thank you 1. a) Is it possible that the larger brain size of the gorilla is just a correlated response to selection for a larger body size in the gorilla (compared to the body size of the chimpanzee)? Does the information in the graph support or falsify this claim? b) Fossil evidence shows that it was not until the evolution of Homo erectus that the brain size in hominins really began to increase relative to body size. The range in brain size of early Homo erectus to late Homo erectus increased from 700 cc to 1000 cc (similar to the gram scale on the y-axis). This includes most of the 3x increase of brain size from Australopithecus to Homo sapiens. But Homo erectus was about the height of modern humans.

You will use scientific information from a variety of sources and what you learn in each learning cycle to support or challenge the reintroduction of cougars to the Eastern United States. Your position on the issue should be based on evidence related to the following factors: impact that the deer population is having on ecosystems • social and economic costs of the overpopulation of deer on various stakeholders • the habitat requirements of cougars, the availability of natural resources and carrying capacity of areas where they would be introduced • potential cougar impact on biodiversity, including on populations of coyote and white-tailed deer potential social and economic costs or benefits to stakeholders in areas where cougars are introducedarrow_forwardHi! I am interested in getting some help with this question. This spectacular animal is a Lesser Bird of Paradise, Paradisea minor, from the highlands of Papua New Guinea.

Why would you not expect to find it in the mountains of Borneo? (b) This spectacular tail presumably attracts predators; why hasn’t natural selection acted to reduce it or camouflage it?arrow_forward
