There are two pots of honey (2 patches of habitat). In one pot there is 3 pounds of honey, and in the other there is 7 pounds of honey. A total of 20 bees arrive to eat honey. How many should reed from the pot with 7 pounds of honey if the bees select pots to feed from according to an "ideal free distribution"?

You've been out in the field collecting data on the predation of holly leaves. You collect 200 leaves in total of which 100 leaves contain one mine, 20 leaves contain 2 mines and 30 leaves contain 3 mines. After close examination with your hand lens and dissecting microscope you categorize a total of 15 mines with round holes, 9 mines that were torn open and 27 mines with an irregular hole. After some basic analyses you conclude that the predation rates by blue tits and wasps are: A. 3.7% and 6.5% B. 6% and 10% C. 10% and 6% D. 4% and 6.5%

Naturally, environment has their carring capacity. Explain the four(4) effects of pollutant load over the carrying capacity
Which statement about the classic competition experiments involving two Paramecium species is FALSE? The experiment involved interspecific competition. The experiment involved exploitation competition. Each species, when grown alone, exhibited logistic growth. When grown together, the species exhibited logistic growth, but each reached a lower carrying capacity than when it was grown alone.
You add fertilizer to a bush, and this increases spiderdensity on the bush. What type of control is this an example of?
Treehoppers have a major predator, the jumping spider. Researchers hypothesized that the ants would protect the treehoppers from the spiders. In an experiment, researchers followed study plots with ants removed from the system and compared them to a control plot. Which of the following is consistent with the results shown in the graph? 100, Plants with ants 80- 60 408 Plants without ants 20 20 25 30 10 15 July August O Ants reduce the numbers of treehoppers. O Ants do somehow protect the treehoppers from spiders. O Spiders eat treehoppers when ants are present. O Treehoppers do not produce honeydew in July and are not protected by the ants. O Ants eat the honeydew produced by treehoppers. Average number of young treehoppers per plant
(A) A sample of limpo grass had a fresh weight of weighed 300 grams. When the limpo grass sample was dried it had a dry weight of 75 grams. What is the moisture content percent of the forage? (B) What is the dry matter percent of the forage sample? A farmer has 6 Barbados black belly ewes which are confined and fed in a pen on his farm. The average weight of the ewes is 68 kg. How much forage must be provided to the 6 ewes for 30 days in each physiological stage? Production Phase Maintenance Maintenance +first week 15 weeks of pregnancy Maintenance +last 6 Percent forage dry matter required daily for each animal 2 2.2 3.3 week of pregnancy Maintenance +lactation 4.2 (1 lamb) Total forage dry matter fed per day (kg) days
