The possibility for all of the mentioned birds to live all in a same area is because they are all specialized and occupy a certain niche in the food chain, thus not standing in each others ways when it comes to competition for food.

All of these birds have adapted to be able to survive in their respective environment, developing characteristics that will enable them to be superior in something. Through natural selection, the individuals that were performing better, got the chance to mate, thus the offspring was better adapted and stronger in its niche of the food chain.

The robins and the blue jays are birds that are very opportunistic in their food choice, thus giving them greater flexibility and ability to survive, they mostly feed on worms, insects, fruits, vegetables, so they have a big menu.

The finches are specialized in eating nuts and seeds, thus avoiding the competition with the previous two, thus having that food type for themselves.

The owls and hawks are both birds of pray, but the owls hunt mostly at night, while the eagles during the day. Also, the owls prefer to have rodents as their pray, while the hawks are mostly eating other birds, thus not standing in each other's ways.

Which adaptation helps polar bears maintain a constant internal temperature (thermal homeostasis) in cold weather? three layers
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

The polar bear is an animal which is prevalent in the arctic region of the world which is characterized by very cold icy climate.

They adapt to these climatic conditions by maintaining a body temperature of 37°C through its thick fur and tough skin. It also has an insulating fat layer (adipose tissues) which is very thick.

This insulation helps in keeping the animal very warm in extreme temperatures.

. It has been observed that organisms on islands are different from, but closely related to, similar forms found on the nearest
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

       The right answer to this question is option A) island forms and mainland forms descended from common ancestors.

       It's known in science that a long time ago, all the continents were only one, united all together in a bigger one. This can be observed by the way every continent can fit another one.

       A proof of that too, is evolution, when we find organisms in an island that share some characteristics with organisms from another island, that can mean some things, they come from the same place, or these islands share characteristics that lead these organisms to be this way through evolution.

Why do companies like nestle object to bottle deposit programs? what do they support instead?
Ahat [919]

Answer:

The companies take away the bottle as "security deposit and however they can recycle and reuse it."

Explanation:

When buying different beverages from a person distributing, a deposit needs typically to be paid to the distributor from the containers that have been taken. However, the distributor will issue a refund once the bottle that was taken has been returned to the place of purchase. Therefore, the distributor will reimburse the redemption of the retailer the amount that was deposited for every container. The additional handling fees usually added in some countries. The deposits that remain unredeemed are taken to the state or kept by distributors.
