Table 1: The density of dippers (Cinclus cinclus) per km of upper stream length in 18 rivers across Great Britain: the pH of stream water also shown as too their individual territory lengths (km). Data collected with the assistance of the British Trust for Ornithology in May 2001.
Draw a graph showing the relationship between stream pH and the length of dipper territories. Label the axes and provide a figure legend.
You visit a medium-sized Caribbean island and identify 4 species of anole lizard. Consider the 3 possible scenarios below. You return to the island a number of years after each of these scenarios. Explain which outcome below (i to iii) you expect for each scenario and briefly justify your prediction. 3-4 sentences for each scenario.
(i) An increase in the number of anole species
(ii) A decrease in the number of anole species
(iii) No change in the number of anole species
A) Scenario A: Scenario A: A new virus is introduced, which causes all the anoles to become colour blind.
B) Scenario B: An earthquake separates the island into two islands.
C) Scenario C: An invasive herbivorous insect species is introduced to the island, which devastates many plant species and causes the habitat to become much less complex.

In one species they estimate Fst as 0.71, and in the other they measure Fst as 0.05. Which species is the migratory species? A. the species with higher population structure B. The species low population structure C. Neither because migration would result in negative values D.
