- The three types of curves are also described as: early loss, late loss, and constant loss. Propose an organism that would have a Type 2 curve. Defend your choice by describing this animal's life pattern using the data and growth curve as a guide.

Nichearrow_forwardWhat are some conditions that might lead to a mutualistic organism becoming a predator/parasite. Select all that apply. A. Mutualistic nitrogen fixation bacteria might reduce the competitive ability of their host plants in environments with high N availability, because of the energetic costs to the plants of supporting the bacteria B. none of the above C. Mutualistic nitrogen fixing bacteria can become parasites in soil with low nitrogen availability because of the energy costs to the plant of supporting the bacteria D. A mutualist fish species that feeds on ectoparasites of another fish species, might switch to feeding/removing important host tissue or secretions when ectoparasite abundance is too low.arrow_forwardConsider figure 49.8 in the textbook.

- You visit a medium-sized Caribbean island and identify 4 species of anole lizard. Consider the 3 possible scenarios below. You return to the island a number of years after each of these scenarios. Explain which outcome below (i to iii) you expect for each scenario and briefly justify your prediction. 3-4 sentences for each scenario. (i) An increase in the number of anole species (ii) A decrease in the number of anole species (iii) No change in the number of anole species A) Scenario A: Scenario A: A new virus is introduced, which causes all the anoles to become colour blind. B) Scenario B: An earthquake separates the island into two islands. C) Scenario C: An invasive herbivorous insect species is introduced to the island, which devastates many plant species and causes the habitat to become much less complex.arrow_forwardIf a species is no longer able to reproduce, it will a. adapt to its environment b. become extinct c. become immune to disease d. increase its populationarrow_forwardA biologist determines the growth rate of a population of 198 frogs in a marsh near Beaverhill Lake, Alberta, to evaluate the quality of the environment. The researcher finds that, in one year, 34 were born, 86 died, 12 migrated into the marsh, and there was no emigration. a. frogs are considered an indicator species for the quality of the environment. Determine whether the growth rate of this population in one year is a cause for concern. if so, what might the concerns be?arrow_forward
