Recent research has found that on one island of the Galapagos two finch species interbred. This interbreeding may have resulted

in a hybrid species that ultimately led to the extinction of one of the species Darwin discovered. They call this speciation in reverse, or despeciation. Based on what you know about speciation, why are these terms appropriate?

Answer:

Speciation describes the process by which distinct species evolve from a shared ancestor. In this instance, two species originated from a common ancestor interbred, resulting in a hybrid. This hybrid exhibited enhanced strength and possibly improved adaptability to the environment, leading to the extinction of one of the species that emerged from the original speciation process.

A population of squirrels living in a little habitat covering 150 hectares is at 80% of the carrying capacity of 1500. Assuming
enyata [2506]
Population density = total number of individuals divided by land area
land area should be expressed in square kilometers
thus, 120 ha = 120 x 0.01 = 1.2 square kilometers since 1 ha = 0.01 square kilometers
total population= (80 x 1500)/100 = 1200
so, the population density is 1200/1.2 = 1000
