Answer: When there is climatic change the biota responds by 5 different phenomena:
All the above mentioned phenomenon are used to track whether the species is responding to climatic change or not.
Note: Biota means plant and animal species living in a habitat
What species traits or other biological phenomena might you start tracking to determine if the biota...
Understanding biological sensitivities to climate change from species traits is useful for prioritising adaptation strategies because: They are broad spectrum indicators that incorporate interactions with each other and the ecosystem, providing a holistic overview of the direction of impacts They provide a rapid assessment tool to help identify areas with a high concentration of sensitive species including those of commercial and ecological significance. They are robust tools for use against anti-climate change theorists They help us to understand that climate...
A species experiences prolonged directional selection, resulting in the evolution of larger body size. What other changes to that species' life history traits are likely to accompany this change in body size?
Please answer all the 7 questions for me. Thank you so much for your help. 1. What are a biological species? What is speciation? Discuss the relationship between species and speciation. 2. Define a biological population. Why are populations described as dynamic? Provide three examples of properties of a population that can change over time. 3. Which is the most accurate way to determine population size? Describe two different methods for estimating population size. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of...
(2) Many physical and biological phenomena follow simple exponentiation laws. For example, suppose you have a petri dish with a population of NO 1.000 bacterium at t = 0 s (initial condition N(0)-No), and after some time, the population has grown. We need an equation of motion for the population size. Empirically, the time rate of change of the population size is proportional to the population size N(t). dt a) Using the method of infinitesimals, find a solution for this...
What traits would you expect in a species with strong sperm competition? (Select two answers) Promiscuous females Large testes proportional to body size Combative male behavior Monogamous pairing
these trees can show how similar or different species are from each other. the vertical line on the left is the start and how far to the right each sequence is from the left line or a branch point indicates increasing dissimilarity. so if your sequence is close to the the left line it is similar, but if it is at the end of a long arm on a branch and falls to the right it is less similar. a)...
What Grignard reagent and what carbonyl compound might you start with to prepare the following alcohols? (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) 3. What Grignard reagent and what carbonyl compound might you start with to prepare the following alcohols? OH CH3CHCH2CH3 CH3CH2CHCH2CH HC CH2OH OH
In the PCR exercise you described why we amplify the 16s ribosomal RNA gene. What other genes might help us to identify specific bacteria? In other words, what traits could be sequenced that are unique to bacteria?
This is a project to help apply what you have learned regarding your immediate biological surroundings. I have attached mine here as an example for you. Note the websites credit for information gathered. For this individual project, you must 1) Choose five (5) different living organisms in your house, garden or neighborhood (10 points), 2) Research their actual scientific names from the Domain to Genus and species level (15 points). Please include a personal on them as I have provided...
2. Given the strong evidence that human-induced global climate change is occurring, what do you think might be the long- term consequences for the choices (voluntary or forced) that people will make about where to live in response to climate changes, especially in places where the population is continuing to increase? How would this choices impact the world community?
