Flying over mountains is very hard work. Some birds can't fly high or far enough to make it past the rocky mountains so they have to stay on one side.

Why might a geographic barrier such as a large river cause the formation of a new species of small rodents but not a new species of birds?

Geographic barrier is the barrier which cease the movement of any organism through it. Now as rodents which are not able to cross the river stay apart and develop into different species whereas the as the birds are able to fly the can cross this barrier and can cross with the birds of other part which did not lead the formation of new species of birds.


Why might a goegraphic barrier such as a large river cause the formation of a new species of small rodents but not a new species of birds?

It might also be instrumental in the evolution of a new species of bird. With birds, however, the impact of such a barrier will usually be much smaller, as birds can more easily cross such barriers and therefore maintain a high interbreeding frequency. The decline of interbreeding frequency is what causes subpopulations to diverge, sometimes culminating in speciation.

Why is the coyotes population mentioned is considered a limiting factor in Adirondack mountains?

The coyote population in the Adirondack Mountains is considered a limiting factor because it impacts the populations of smaller mammals and birds, which are key prey species. As apex predators, coyotes can influence the ecological balance, potentially leading to declines in certain species. Additionally, their presence can affect the behavior and distribution of other wildlife, altering the dynamics of the entire ecosystem. This interdependence highlights the importance of managing coyote populations to maintain biodiversity in the region.
