Deciduous trees would most likely be found in which of these forest types?

In cod fishing, older and larger fish are more likely to be retained in nets than younger and smaller fish. Despite the removal of these large breeders, the population is still reproducing. How do you think cod characteristics have changed due to the selection pressure from over-fishing?

Which of the following would be most suited for some degree of human activity, such as selective logging?

Three examples of associations in nature include: 1) Sea anemones riding on the backs of hermit crabs where the two species protect each other from their different enemies; 2) Lactobacillus bacteria living inside the human gut, having a beneficial effect on human health; and 3) Leaf-cutting ants farming and feeding on specific fungi, which receive free food and protection. How can these three associations best be classified?

The term “r-selection” refers to selection

An earthworm eats primarily detritus. A robin that then eats the earthworm is operating on a trophic level _______ that of a rabbit that eats grass.

Consider the salmon example from class that followed the flow of nutrients from the marine system to the terrestrial system in the Pacific Northwest. In this example salmon feeding in marine environments redeposited nutrients into a freshwater system.  If plants use CO2 for biomass and chemical energy, why is N addition from salmon important for Annual Net Primary Productivity (ANPP) (3pts)
