In Pavlov's original studies on classical conditioning, he used dogs as the subject of his experiment. The unconditioned stimulus was the <u>bowl of food</u> that he presented to the dog while the unconditioned response was the dog salivated in its excitement to see the food.
The main benefits of the monoculture farming are that it has higher production, is more efficient, and has lower costs. All three advantages of the monoculture farming are making it much more attractive for the farmers as it is more profitable and easier for work.
In this type of farming there's no spaces of the arable land that are lost because it is all planted with the same culture, and there isn't any other cultures with which there should be made empty spaces in between.
The costs for farming are lower, and also the work is easier and more efficient because the machinery can be used in the same manner constantly and the work can go on systematically on the farmlands.
On the other hand, we have to mention that there are also negative effects of this type of farming like the total destruction of animal and plant biodiversity in the area where it is practiced, as well as making the entire crop vulnerable to diseases and environmental changes.
The population of the ground squirrels will be limited by the population of the hawks. The population of the hawks, thus, will be a limiting factor for the population of the ground squirrels. The Hawks are the birds of prey that feeds on squirrels. With the increased number of hawks in the same area as them will put these squirrels in danger. The population of the tree squirrels, however, will have no affect on the population of the ground squirrels. The genetic variability and breeding season are not limiting factors for their population either.
Hence, the correct answer is 'option B - a population of hawks'.
Answer:
A. Salamanders
Explanation:
Specialists species are species that can thrive in a unique and limited range of resources. They require a specific environmental condition to reproduce and survive in environment and also have limited or few diets they need for nutrition. These limiting characteristics put them at a disadvantage of being endangered and threatened.
Salamanders are endangered species that are fast going into extinction. They require wetland (freshwater pools) for reproduction to be possible, and feed mainly on insects. This makes them specialist species.
Ospreys, snapping turtles, and beavers are all generalist species. They can all thrive in a wide range of environmental conditions, and also have varieties of diets they can get nutrition from to survive.
