- A recent United Nations analysis report gathered data on declines in biodiversity across the world. Using the graphs provided, which statement shows an area of concern and is an alternative to the general hypothesis "Humans are responsible for a significant increase in the extinction rate among species in the world today as a result of damage caused to the environment"? A. Fertilizer use in developing countries should be encouraged to decrease the extinction rate B. Decreasing air pollution in the least developed countries would decrease species survival rate C. Protection of key biodiversity areas should be a priority for developed countries to lower the extinction rate D. Assisting developing countries with more sustainable methods of extraction of living biomass would increase species survival ratesarrow_forwardDefine the term extinct. Also explain the phenomenon of mass extinction.arrow_forwardDiagram and explain the colonization and extinction of island biogeography on an island that is near the mainland and far from the mainland as well as small vs. large. Explain what island biogeography is. Who came up with this model?arrow_forward

Label the axes and provide a suitable legend.arrow_forwardDistinguish between biological extinction and mass extinction. Does every species have the right to survive without human interference, regardless of whether they serve a useful purpose to humans? Explain?arrow_forward
- If the human species were to suffer a population crash, list three species that might move in to occupy part of our ecological niche. List and explain three species that would likely decline as a result.arrow_forwardBiology Introduced Species Directions: Write a short response for each of the following scenarios, describing the effect of the invasive species on ecosystems based on the information in the corresponding graphs. In your responses, please use complete sentences with proper grammar and spelling. 0 3. The following graph shows the population of the barred owl and the spotted owl in the Oregon coastal forests. The barred owl can be considered an invasive species since its range is expanding.

Each colour on the graph represents a family of organisms, and the Y axis shows how many species belong to that family. a. What stage of population growth is displayed at point ‘0’ on the graph above? b. The Extinction Event that occurred at point 3 was particularly significant. Using the graph, explain how this event impacted each marine family. c. The extinction events mapped above had significant impact on marine life. What type of event could have a similar impact on the human population?arrow_forward
- Which of the following scenarios best explains how resource partitioning can lead to adaptive radiation? The lack of competition between individuals leads to better survival and reproduction rates. The utilization of different resources requires different adaptations, selecting for different traits. The lack of competition leads to a more balanced ecosystem, resulting in more offspring. There is no connection between adaptive radiation and the resource partitioning in nature.arrow_forwardSea otters play an important role in maintaining the kelp forests of the Pacific coast. Otters maintain the sea urchin population, preventing the sea urchins from overgrazing the kelp beds. If the kelp beds are overgrazed, a multitude of other species will decline as a result. Identify the chain of events that could occur if the sea otter population were reduced along the Pacific coast.arrow_forwardplease explain A drawback of the time hypothesis to explain the variation in species richness is that 1. Cannot account for algal diversity. 2. Fossils do not preserve well in the oceans. 3. Geological activity may interfere with species richness measurements. 4. It is not applicable to marine ecosystems because there was no glaciation in oceans. 5. Humans significantly modified marine environments.arrow_forward
