What trophic level is most affected by environmental toxins such as DDT?
The trophic level most affected by environmental toxins such as DDT is usually the top predators, such as apex predators or carnivorous animals. This is because toxins bioaccumulate as they move up the food chain, reaching higher concentrations in organisms at higher trophic levels.
Does ddt accumulate in the environment?
DDT is fat-soluble and tends to build up in the fatty tissues of predators and scavengers.
Did DDT affect song birds?
no!
Why did ddt only affect to carnivores?
Not true. Birds have been affected by DDT and so have fish.
How did DDT not affect Eagles?
It did not improve their 'hatch-rate'.
How styxosaurus affect in food chain?
The plesiosaurs were the top predators of the food chain at that time
As ddt moves up the trophic levels in food chains its concentration?
increases. This is known as biomagnification, where organisms higher up in the food chain accumulate higher levels of DDT due to consuming prey that have ingested or absorbed the chemical. This can lead to harmful effects on top predators due to the higher concentrations of DDT in their bodies.
How do you do your finisher in wrestling encore?
go to the top rope. and then DDT
Why such a high dosage of ddt found in grebes?
High levels of DDT found in grebes can be due to bioaccumulation, where the pesticide builds up in the food chain reaching toxic levels in top predators like grebes. Grebes consume contaminated fish and aquatic insects which leads to a high concentration of DDT in their bodies. Efforts to decrease the use of DDT and monitor its presence in the environment are important to protect wildlife like grebes.
What is one of the diseases that makes bald eagles die?
DDT was a pesticide that was used to kill bugs on farms. But when pretadors of those bugs were eaten by other predators the level of DDT rose and made the Bald Eagles egg shells very thin and usually the bald eagle would die. DDT is now outlawed, but the levels of DDT are still in fish and insects.
How can the use of DDT actually boost an insect population?
The selective use of DDT can kill off predators or parasites that control insect populations, leading to an increase in the target insect species. This disruption in the natural balance can result in a population surge.
What chemicals affect peregrine falcons?
DDT was a large threat, I do not know of any others.
