A biologist conducted an experiment on two Islands (A and B) of similar size, climate, species composition, and richness. Originally, the same species of snake was present on
both islands in small
numbers. In her
experiment, the biologist removed the snake from
Island A but not from Island B. She then recorded the number of animal species on each
island over a period of 24 months. The data collected is shown in the graph below:
40

Time (months)
Analyze the data above in terms of interspecific relationships and communities. Which
statement best explains the difference in species present on each island over the course
of the experiment?
A. The snake was a keystone species
B. The snake was a foundation species
C island A needs the snake as an ecosystem engineer.
D. Island B lost diversity due to remaining snakes.

Humans are believed to have evolved in coastal regions in east africa. the region had an abundant supply of fish for early humanoids to eat. when scientists analyze the fads gene they see an interesting pattern. people whose families have lived in this area of east africa for generation show a high level of diversity in alleles for the fads gene. conversely, people whose families had migrated inland a moderate distance from sources of fish showed a much lower diversity for fads gene alleles. additionally, the fads alleles found in people whose family has lived inland for generation are almost all gene alleles which produce fads proteins with a high level of function and activity. how do anthropologists explain this?
