Textbook Question
Chapter 44.1, Problem 2TYK
Lake Baikal in Siberia is an ancient, unglaciated temperate lake and contains 580 species of bottom-dwelling invertebrates. Great Slave Lake, a comparably sized lake that was once glaciated at the same latitude in northern Canada, contains only four species in the same zone. This supports which of the following hypotheses?
- species–time
- species–area
- species–productivity
- both a and b
- both b and c

Georges Bank is located off of Cape Cod, the Middle Atlantic Bight is located offshore of Virginia and northern North Carolina, and the Gulf of Maine is located off the coast of New England. Which of the following statements is the most likely reason for the productivity trends seen for the Gulf of Maine? e -Middle Atlantic Bight -Georges Bank-Gulf of Maine d O The area has fewer large predators like sharks. O The area has fewer animals that eat plankton. The area gets hit less by hurricanes so the ocean water mixes less. O The area gets more intense sunlight than the other areas.
