This map shows the spread of the red fire ant after its introduction into the United States in Mobile, Alabama, in the 1930s: Which statement best describes an abiotic factor that contributed to the success of this invasive species?

Presence of disease in the origin states
Mutual competition in the invaded states
Limited moisture across the Southern states
Increase in food availability in the invaded states

Where does all the water go? according to the environmental protection agency (epa), in a typical wetland environment, 39% of the water is outflow; 46% is seepage; 7% evaporates; and 8% remains as water volume in the ecosystem (reference: united states environmental protection agency case studies report 832-r-93-005). chloride compounds as residuals from residential areas are a problem for wetlands. suppose that in a particular wetland environment the following concentrations (mg/l) of chloride compounds were found: outflow, 60.4; seepage, 73.7; remaining due to evaporation, 26.4; in the water volume, 46.8. (a) compute the weighted average of chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) for this ecological system. (round your answer to one decimal place.) mg/l (b) suppose the epa has established an average chlorine compound concentration target of no more than 58 mg/l. does this wetlands system meet the target standard for chlorine compound concentration? yes. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is too high. yes. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is lower than the target. no. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is lower than the target. no. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is too high.

Several bird species feed in a certain species of tree. each bird species feeds in a different part of the tree. which statement is true of these bird species? a. they have adapted to different niches due to competition b. they have a carnivorous relationship with the tree species. c. they have adapted to different niches due to predation d. they have a symbiotic relationship with the tree species.

Which step is not included in the step approach to calculating the greatest common divisor?
