How does allopatric speciation occur?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Allopatric speciation: ( other country ) A speciation event that is facilitated geographically. A population is split along geographic lines, mountains, rivers, and the now separate gene pools vary in allele frequency over time enough to , possibly, have two new species arise.

Sympatric speciation: ( same country ) An in place speciation event where a sub-population within a population begins to vary their alleles from the main population. Perhaps a slight temporal, or water level difference, or mating differences can facilitate this. This speciation event is still a matter of contreversy in biology.

What is cultural eutrophication?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Cultural eutrophication is an increase in biological productivity and ecosystem succession caused by human activity. It is mainly caused by increased nutrient input into a water body. Increased productivity in an aquatic system sometimes can be beneficial. Fish and other desirable species may grow faster, providing a welcome food source. Eurtophicate produces blooms of algae or thick growths of aquatic plants stimulated by elevated phophorus or nitrogen levels. The water then becomes cloudy and faul smelling and can accelerate the aging in a body of water.

What are the 4 laws of ecology with meaning?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

1. Everything is Connected to Everything Else. There is one ecosphere for all living organisms and what affects one, affects all.

2. Everything Must Go Somewhere. There is no "waste" in nature and there is no "away" to which things can be thrown.

3. Nature Knows Best. Humankind has fashioned technology to improve upon nature, but such change in a natural system is, says Commoner, "likely to be detrimental to that system."

4. There Is No Such Thing as a Free Lunch. In nature, both sides of the equation must balance, for every gain there is a cost, and all debts are eventually paid.

Asked by Wiki User

For some reason they are here, they live in a balanced ecosystem, unbalancing ecosystems, as we are finding out has greater ramifications than we originally thought. I guess my answer is to not mess too much with mother nature, or if you are religious do not mess with what God has created.

Australian desert food chain?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Australian desert food chain is like any other. Plants produce sugars and protein from the sun. Atriplex is a common plant genus found in Australian deserts but there are many more including acacia and various grasses like nadoo. These plants act as food for animals. Because of introduced animals like camels, goats, horses and rabbits, many of the native species such as bandicoots, bilbies and native mice that would normally eat these plants are becoming endangered. There are also predators that eat these such as the dingo (wild dog) and wedge tailed eagles. When these die, their bodies fall to the ground where they are eaten by bacteria producing nutrients for the plants.
