Ecological adaptations

An ecological adaptation is any morphological, physiological, or behavioral trait of an organism that allows it to survive and reproduce in a habitat or ecosystem. Adaptation is a biological mechanism by which an organism gradually gets more acclimated to its surroundings.

A group of ecologists want to test if an industrial effluent affects the diversity of aquatic invertebrates in a river. To do this, they compare the community of aquatic invertebrates between two sites: one upstream of the effluent and one downstream of the effluent. Which variable should they calculate to compare the diversity of the two communities of invertebrates? The carrying capacity of the river The net reproductive rate The Shannon Index The gross primary productivity of the river The instantaneous rate of growth
Using the concept of beta diversity, as a field researcher interested in comparing communities in stream habitat, what data will be neede to collect if you are interested in comparing how species occurrence and abundance differ in different parts of the stream?
According to the resource-ratio hypothesis (a.k.a. R-star), what factor(s) will determine the maximum number of competing species that could possibly coexist in a community? (Note: either one or more-than-one answer could be correct) .what does the number of limiting resources in a community tell us? The number of limiting resources in the community The net primary productivity of the community (NPP). The number of trophic levels that are present in the community. | The intrinsic rate of increase (r) of each species in the community. The colonization rate of each species that can access the habitat.
A conceptual model representing the role, interaction, reaction, and density of essential ecosystem components is shown below. Examine the model and the relationships between the major players (i.e., predator, prey, producer). The structure's most important role is played by these major players. It's also worth noting that nutrition has been included in the model. This is the abiotic component that has a direct or indirect impact on the interaction. Question: Based on this scenario, what is the most significant role of sea otters in the marine community? Why it’s important?

You will be examining the relationship among organisms inhabiting a small lake. Examine the “Lake Inhabitants” sheet for information about the organisms found in the lake. What biotic and abiotic factors will affect the aquatic plants in the lake? What biotic and abiotic factors will affect the bluegill in the lake? Looking at the organisms associated with the lake, organize them into three trophic groups: producers, consumers, and decomposers. Separate the consumers into three subcategories: herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores. Create 3 different food chains found within the lake. Food chain #1 should contain 3 organisms, food chain #2 should contain 4 organisms, and food chain # 3 should contain 5 organisms. The arrows should point in the direction the energy is flowing through the food chain. You can either use the “>” as your arrow or the Insert Symbol function to insert an arrow into your food chains. As the energy flows through each trophic…

For "select variables", choose these three: 1. Under "Water Resources" choose "Total Renewable Water Resources" and within that choose only "Total Renewable Water Resources per Capita. 2. Choose "Water Use" and then "Pressure on Water Resources" . Within that subset choose only"SDG 6.4.2 Water Stress". "SDG" means the Sustainable Development Goal. This value is the percentage of total available water that is used by a nation. 3. Under "Water Use" choose "Water Withdrawal by Sector", and within that choose only "Total Water Withdrawal per Capita".

NOTE: The image you need to see in order to answer this question is attachedA developer owns the property encompassing the three habitats above. By law, one of the habitats must be left intact to satisfy the zoning laws. The developer works with an environmental engineer to choose which of the habitats should be saved. The environmental engineer suggests that Site C should be saved. Which of the following choices best justifies this decision?Responses A) Site C has greater species richness and species evenness than either Site A or Site B. This will promote the maximum sustainability for future generations of animals. B) Site C is tied with Site A for greatest species richness, but unlike Site A, it has representative species from all 3 of the sites within it. C) Site C not only contains the greatest number of species, it also has the greatest genetic diversity within each species. D) Site C has more unique species in it than either Site A or Site B
