Decribe Brown’s large granivore experiment and what was his hypothesis (Chapter 13)? Why did Brown’s research team create controls by completely fencing study plots and then cutting holes in their sides to allow free passage of rodents into and out of the plot? Why not just compare the density of small rodents in the large granivore removal plots with their densities in the surrounding desert?

Can somone help me to answer 2 question after watching a video, Thank you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M18HxXve3CM 1)What is one interesting or surprising thing you learned from the video you watched? 2)It’s unlikely that you personally hunt wolves or whales, and equally unlikely that you are responsible for importing rabbits and foxes to Australia as shown in these videos. But your actions do affect ecosystems. What is one thing you can start doing or stop doing right away to help protect the earth’s ecosystems? Explain how the thing you chose helps to protect ecosystems.
What are the excellent sentences in this response, and what are the logical flaws, content errors, or outright stupid comments? What are the main differences between inductive and deductive reasoning in the scientific method? Inductive reasoning and deductive reasoning are two different methods of reasoning that are used in the scientific method. Inductive reasoning involves drawing conclusions from specific observations or pieces of evidence. For example, if a scientist observes that a particular species of bird always builds its nest in a particular way, they might use inductive reasoning to conclude that all birds of that species build their nests in that way. Inductive reasoning is often used to generate hypotheses, which can then be tested through further observation or experimentation. Deductive reasoning, on the other hand, involves starting with a general principle or theory and using it to reach a specific conclusion. For example, if a scientist knows that all animals need…
Why is this question keep on getting rejected. Your other competitors seem to have answer this question and Bartleby can’t seem to answer it. I might have to consider cancelling this subscription and go with your other competitors. What accounts for the difference in how bonobos and chimps respond to strangers? Why can't chimps get the bananas in the experiment but the bonobos are able to? How does this information help us understand ourselves as humans?
In the Introduction, the authors set the stage for their experiment. 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. Explain why when researchers tried culling some of the elk herd it did not have trophic effects, while reintroducing wolves did have trophic effects. Describe the multiple impacts of wolf…
Dippers (Cinclus cinclus) are small birds that can be found along fast-flowing streams in Europe and Asia. They feed on insect larvae, especially those of caddis flies (Trichoptera), which they catch by sticking their heads under water and turning over stones. Describe the relationship between the abundance of caddis fly larvae and dippers?Why, is caddis fly larva abundance expressed as ‘relative abundance’? using the data in Table 2

For this experiment, you will be able to manipulate only one variable. First, the amount of water; this means the water in the experimental group is more or less than the control, hopefully not killing the experimental group, but just altering the growth rate of the experimental group compared to the control group. Second the amount of nutrients; nutrients can be varied if you have some plant food or fertilizer at home to use. Third, simulated herbivory is an interesting variable to use. If used herbivory as your experimental variable, decide on a pattern and amount of herbivory to inflict on the plants of the experimental group and write down the procedure in detail. Experiment to test how one of the following variables impacts the growth of Brassica rapa: Water, Nutrient Availability, and Herbivory. 1) Write down just one name of the variable. This is the independent variable. 2) Write down a question to address by manipulating the variable. 3) Next, formulate a hypothesis that…
Use the following information to answer the next question Giraffes and other hoofed animals, including impalas, steenboks, and kudus, feed on acacia trees on the African savannah. Giraffes feed on leaves at the top of the tree, whereas the other hoofed animals, which are smaller than giraffes, feed on the lower leaves. A controlled study showed that when smaller hoofed animals are prevented from feeding on a tree, giraffes feed on the lower leaves. 5. The giraffe's preference for feeding on leaves at the top of a tree is likely a result of intraspecific competition interspecific competition environmental resistance predator-prey interactions Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common autosomal recessive disorders. 1 in 2,500 Caucasian newborns have CF. 12.

Eastern tent caterpillars (Malacosoma americanum) live in large groups in silk nests resembling tents, which they build in trees. They are among the first insects to be active in early spring, when daily temperature fluctuates from freezing to very hot. Over the course of a day, they display striking differences in behavior: Early in the morning, they rest in a tightly packed group on the tent’s east-facing surface. In midafternoon, they are on its undersurface, each caterpillar hanging by a few of its legs. Propose a hypothesis to explain this behavior. How could you test it?

According to the video, what was the effect of artificially-modified ant density in acacias on the elephant feeding behavior? (Choose one.) a. As the number of ants swarming increased per minute on acacia branches, so did the number of branches fed on by elephants. b. As the number of ants swarming increased per minute on acacia branches, the number of branches fed on by elephants decreased. c. As the density of ants per A. depranolobium increased, the number of trees fed on by elephants decreased. d. Elephants fed more frequently on Acacia depranolobium trees with their ants removed than on A. depranolobium trees with ants. video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3blzcbll7Q&t=293s
