Historical records of the trapping and sales of lynx and hare pelts indicate that snowshoe hare populations peaked every seven to ten years and then crashed.
Lynx populations did the same thing, except one year behind the hare
populations. For years, studies have focused solely on these two populations.
However, other factors within the tundra ecosystem are almost certainly involved
in this story. List and explain (thoroughly) at least one other part of the
ecosystem that might affect or be affected by the lynx and hare population
patterns.

the transfer of energy between two molecules spaced just nanometers apart plays a key role in many technologies, including photovoltaics, quantum information systems, lighting, and sensors, as well as in biophysics to measure nanometer distances and in photosynthesis. but an open question in this area is what effect, if any, the surrounding photonic environment has on this nanoscale energy transfer. by designing and performing a carefully controlled experiment to answer this question, scientists have settled the debate and found clues to improving the efficiency of many of the technologies that rely on this process.

explanation:

primary succession begins with a bare rock and ends with a forest secondary succession begins after a natural disaster where there is a temporary setback after a forest fire or local destruction, but the surrounding area can fill in

emerging idea only occurs as a raw idea that could appear out of nowhere. meanwhile, to reach scientific consensus , that idea must be structured and tested over and over again through various experiments. the scientific consensus transforms the raw idea into idea that is more reliable through the process of scientific elimination.
