Beetles on a diet Imagine a year or two of drought in which there are few plants a beetle can eat.
First generation of starving beetles
All the beetles have the same chances of survival and reproduction, but because of food restrictions, the beetles in the population are a little smaller than the preceding generation of beetles.
Second generation of starving beetles

Beetles of a different color

Most of the beetles in the population (say 90%) have the genes for bright green coloration and a few of them (10%) have a gene that makes them more brown.

Second generation of starving beetles

Some number of generations later, things have changed: brown beetles are more common than they used to be and make up 70% of the population.

African penguins, which inhabit the coasts of southern africa, were classified as an endangered species in 2010. two significant threats to their survival are ecosystem damage from oil spills and overfishing by humans. overfishing depletes the food supply of african penguins. the best method to reduce the threat of overfishing would be to . the risk of oil spills could be reduced by increasing the use of , which should oil consumption. if an oil spill does occur, could be used to remove the oil so the ecosystem may more quickly recover.

This map shows how climate change might affect precipitation patterns in the great plains of the united states by the end of this century. brown shoes a decrease in percipitation, and blue shows an increase. the maps differ based on the predictive levels of green house emissions. the maps shows that northern area should get a. more pracipations regardless of emmissions b. less pracipation, regardless of emmissions levels c. more precipitation, but only when emission levels.southern areas show a. more pracipations regardless of emmissions b. less pracipation, regardless of emmissions levels c. more precipitation, but only when emission levels.to use these maps to prepare for natural disasters in the great plains, scientist need to ask? a. how many tons of emissions were used at the basis of the map.b. which types of fossil fuels are used in the great plains c. if you think the above is wrong it's probly c the question is cut off
