    Study Notes

    Population Changes Due to Industrialization

    • Dark-colored moths increased in percentage as a result of industrialization, while light-colored moths decreased.

    Ecosystem Services

    • Regulating services include pollination, decomposition, and water purification.

    Biomass Post-Disturbance

    • Sweetgum experienced the greatest biomass during a specific post-disturbance year (year not specified).

    Ecosystem C Characteristics

    • Low species diversity in Ecosystem C suggests species with low population sizes; high genetic diversity indicates quick evolution potential.

    Author's Claims on Gharials

    • The 2008 gharial die-off was linked to anthropogenic disruptions, affecting already threatened species.

    Economic Consequences of Global Warming

    • Increased global warming may lead to the collapse of local fisheries due to coral reefs' damage from ocean acidification.

    Ecosystem Recovery Rates

    • Ecosystem B is likely to recover fastest from natural disruptions.

    Finch Population Analysis

    • Finch populations benefited in 1977 due to a food abundance, while increased beak size in 1980 helped them survive a drought.

    Tree Species in Succession Stages

    • Sweetgum is predicted to be the predominant species found during the intermediate succession stage.

    Atmospheric CO2 and Antarctic Temperature

    • Over the past 800,000 years, atmospheric CO2 concentration and Antarctic temperature are directly correlated.

    Temperature Changes Over Time

    • Between 440,000 and 340,000 years ago, Antarctic temperature showed an increase of about 12°C followed by a decrease of about 12°C.

    Claims on Reef Fish and Coral

    • Climate change negatively affects coral reefs, impacting reef fish survival.

    Island Biogeography

    • The island 30 hectares in size that is 10 kilometers from the mainland would likely host the highest number of species.

    Population Bottlenecks in Ecosystems

    • Ecosystem A likely experienced a bottleneck due to low genetic diversity, indicating a reduced gene pool variation.

    Effects of Invasive Generalist Species

    • Introduction of an invasive generalist will decrease the population size of island's specialist species due to increased competition for resources.

    Acidic Water Impact on Salmon

    • Acidic water interferes with salmon's sensory capabilities, affecting their predator detection ability.

    Hurricane Protection Ecosystem Services

    • Intact coastal wetlands provide significant protection from hurricane storm surges, contrasting with managed systems like locks and dams.

    Species Richness Post-Disturbance

    • The year with the greatest species richness post-disturbance is identified, highlighting ecological recovery dynamics.

    Invasive Species Survival Predictions

    • Native species on Madagascar are more likely to survive invasions compared to those on Easter Island due to larger habitat diversity.
    • CO2 concentration fluctuated historically but rose exponentially recently, indicating significant climate change implications.
