What other factors would influence the size of the hare population in addition to the size of the population of lynx? https://padlet.com/jmohn/xt055oza1v46/wish/238715115 Group 2: Other factors that would influence the size of hare population in addition to the size of the population of lynx includes environmental factors such as weather, abundance of food, sunlight, and temperature. In addition, food, water, starvation, and competition of food source.]]> 2018-03-06 16:30:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jmohn/xt055oza1v46/wish/238715115 28. The type of competition represented by graph C is referred to as intraspecific competition. What is the difference about this compared to the competition seen in graph B? https://padlet.com/jmohn/xt055oza1v46/wish/238731404 Group 7: Intraspecific competition is competition within the same species, whereas in graph B, interspecific competition is competition between two different species.]]> 2018-03-06 16:52:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jmohn/xt055oza1v46/wish/238731404 20. b. Considering that p. caudatum is 50%larger in size than P. aurelia, develop a hypothesis with your group to explain why interspecific competition has an effect on the relative population size of P. caudatum. https://padlet.com/jmohn/xt055oza1v46/wish/238732454 Group 4: Because P. caudatum is larger, it requires more nutrients and food to sustain life, meaning it has more competition for food. P. aurelia requires less food so there is less competition.]]> 2018-03-06 16:53:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jmohn/xt055oza1v46/wish/238732454 13. With your group, choose one of the organism pairs from Model 2 and justify why you categorized the relationship as you did. https://padlet.com/jmohn/xt055oza1v46/wish/238733301 Group 3: The relationship between the dog and the flea is parasitic because the flea benefits as it gains nutrients from the dogs blood, and the dog is harmed when the flea causes itches and sometimes infection.]]> 2018-03-06 16:55:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jmohn/xt055oza1v46/wish/238733301 21. In a grammatically correct sentence, define interspecific competition. https://padlet.com/jmohn/xt055oza1v46/wish/238733812 Group 5: Interspecific competition is competition between two species in the same area.]]> 2018-03-06 16:55:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jmohn/xt055oza1v46/wish/238733812 27. Propose an explanation for why the population size affects the number of weeks before metamorphosis of the tadpoles occurs. https://padlet.com/jmohn/xt055oza1v46/wish/238736304 Group 6: With less individuals, there is inherently less competition over resources; therefore, in a smaller population, each tadpole is able to get necessary resources without too much trouble.]]> 2018-03-06 16:58:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jmohn/xt055oza1v46/wish/238736304 6. Propose an explanation for the apparent cause and effect relationship between the populations of lynx and hares. https://padlet.com/jmohn/xt055oza1v46/wish/239246004 Group 1: The lynx are predators to the hares, so when the population of hares decreases, the lynx population also decreases.]]> 2018-03-07 16:33:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jmohn/xt055oza1v46/wish/239246004
