During the 20th Century, scientists in the USSR undertook a program to domesticate foxes. The scientists selected those foxes who were most willing to interact with humans (in exchange for food.) These foxes were bred for many generations, ultimately resulting in the world's first domesticated foxes. Some even developed floppy ears and a curly tail, like dogs! This is an example of _____________ .

ANSWER BRIEFLY
1. How can natural selection reduce competition between species?(2-3 sentences).
2. How do communities and ecosystems respond to changing environmental conditions? (Answerable only by a scientific terminology (two words) I don't need sentences or paragraph for 2).
3. How do species interact (in the context of ecology ha, so scientific term)?

In many SAR missions, searchers are dispatched in the wilderness or urban areas to look for clues of the lost person (e.g., footprints, personal belongs). One manager proposes that every searcher should be given a drone to help their search. However, a volunteer trained in human factors disagrees on the basis of the multiple resource theory. Briefly describe the task of searching for clues and flying a drone. Use the multiple resource theory (including all three components) to indicate why providing drones for searchers may indeed result in inferior SAR performance.arrow_forward

- A team of researchers is interested in testing the amount of oxygen gas (O2) produced when the same species of plant is exposed to different colors of visible light. The research team has developed a hypothesis to test and designed experimental conditions to run. They have submitted the work to you for feedback and approval. Your job is to provide feedback concerning both the hypothesis and the experimental design. This will enable them to make the necessary changes to obtain approval for their research. The Team’s Hypothesis: The levels of oxygen gas will be higher for plants exposed to visible red light.
