The Spotted Lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) is endemic to China and was firstidentified in the United States in 2014 in Pennsylvania. It was found in New York in 2020.According to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) itposes a significant threat to our agricultural industry, negatively impacts outdoorrecreation, and may impact forest health. Draw a graph of how you expect thispopulation to grow in New York State given that there are few predators and amplefruit trees and other host trees (see more information on the USDA page). On yourgraph annotate and justify your predictions about population growth changes.

In a habitat there are 7,500 individuals of P. rufipes, 40% of which have long and thin ovipositors and 60% have short and thick ovipositors. During a single year 250 wasps with long and thin ovipositors died while 325 were born. In that same year, 650 wasps with short, thick ovipositors were born and 800 died. Calculate the per capita growth rate (r) of the two subpopulations of P. rufipes. Per capita growth rate of P. rufipes with long and thin ovipositors: _________ Per capita growth rate of P. rufipes with short and thin ovipositors: _________
In the year 2000, specimens of Caulerpa taxifolia,a green alga used in tropical aquariums, were found off the coast of California. Native to the Indian Ocean, C. taxifolia is known for aggressive growth and an ability to compete with sea grasses.lt is currently on an international list of invasive species. Which of the following best predicts the consequences of the introduction of C. taxifolia to the California coast? nd 2 school Without natural herbivores or competitors,C. taxifolia will grow rapidly and crowd out native species of producers. C. taxifolia will have a hard time establishing itself because it will have to compete against native species of sea grasses, which are better adapted to the environment. C. taxifolia will grow rapidly, leading to an increase in the diversity of producers. Because it is not in the Indian Ocean, its natural environment, C. taxifolia will not be able to grow efficiently The practice of crop rotation uses nitrogen fixation to create fertile fields.…
The Barton Springs salamander is an endangered species found only in a single spring in the city of Austin, Texas. There is growing concern that a chemical spill on a nearby freeway could pollute the spring and wipe out the species. To provide a source of salamanders to repopulate the spring in the event of such a catastrophe, a proposal has been made to establish a captive breeding population of the salamander in a local zoo. The zoo was asked to provide a plan for establishing this captive breeding population, with the goal of maintaining as much of the genetic variation of the species as possible in the captive population. What factors are likely to lead to a loss of genetic variation in the captive population?

Lake Mendota is a lake with high levels of nutrient input from agriculture that has the potential to fuel blooms of phytoplankton. In 2009 the invasive spiny water flea Bythotrephes (native to Europe and Asia) was first detected in the lake. In the figure, the food web for Lake Mendota prior to the invasion is on the left, and after the invasion on the right. Bythotrephes is a more effective predator of the herbivorous zooplankton Daphnia than the native planktivorous perch (represented by the large red arrows between Bythotrephes and Daphnia), and perch consume Bythotrephes at much lower rates than they do Daphnia (represented by the small red arrows between perch and Bythotrephes). See attached image. Part A In the food web prior to the invasion (1988-2008), what effect would increasing the abundance of pike have on the abundance of Daphnia?

In 1929, 13 white-tailed deer were introduced to an isolated island with no natural predators. A survey was conducted once a year to estimate the population of deer on the island. The table shows the deer population over the first five years on the island. The deer fed on many of the native plants found on the island, including the California false indigo, a thornless shrub that is a preferred food source on the island for deer. Based on the data, which of the following graphs correctly predicts the population of California false indigo from 1929 to 1941? Year of Survey Population of Deer 1929 13 1932 29 1935 66 1938 157 1941 398 image 1 because the California false indigo will be able to reproduce faster than it can be consumed by the deer and will be unaffected by the deer population, maintaining its current population image 2 because the increasing number of deer will help spread seeds of the plant and lead to a rise in…
Plasmodium is a vector for mosquitos. It is a protozoan that is the causal agent of malaria, which is responsible for killing as many 855,000 people in 2013, the majority of them being children. Populations of mosquitos are strongly influenced by the availability of standing water for egg-laying and larval development. How might mosquito density, and thereby human mortality, be affected by patterns of rainfall?

To understand the biodiversity of insects in different sites around their community, students performed a leaf litter lab where leaf litter was collected from two sites: one from beneath the trees in an organically managed, commercial landscape established one year ago and one from beneath the trees in a nearby nature preserve that have not been trimmed or managed in over twenty years. The students hypothesized that there would be more insect biodiversity in the leaf litter at the nature preserve than at the managed site. The leaf litter from each site was placed into a funnel with a light shone on the top to drive any insects out of the litter. Species were collected in an alcohol-filled container below the funnel, and the species were identified using magnifying lenses and a key. (j) Explain how modifying the experiment to collect samples from wet and dry sites could alter the results of the experiment.
Back at the original iguana population, only 40 iguanas remained. This population also has a growth rate of 0.6 and generation time of 2 years. But the island on which this population resides is much smaller and has a carrying capacity of 200. How many iguanas do you expect to find in the original population after 6 years?
