There are three species of birds on an island. Bird A has a pointed bill for eating insects. Bird B has a heavy bill for eating seeds. Bird C has a sharp bill for eating seeds and insects. If the insect populations suddenly disappeared one season, which bird would probably be the least affected that season?
Bird B
Bird A
Bird D
Bird C
60s - Q9
Some scientists studying aquatic plants notice that flooding often leads to a decrease in the rate of photosynthesis among aquatic plants. Flooding causes more sediment to be suspended in the water. The increased sediment concentration decreases the amount of light that reaches the plants. Why does a decreased rate of photosynthesis lead to a decrease in a plant population?
Less water is available for absorption.
Less energy is available for reproduction.
Less tissue is available for plant growth.
Less soil is available for leaf development.

The Guam rail is a flightless bird found on the island of Guam. It builds a shallow nest on the ground and lays eggs throughout the year. There are no native species of snakes on Guam, so the Guam rail had no experience with snake predators until the brown tree snake was accidentally introduced sometime between 1944 and 1952. These snakes, which eat a wide variety of animal species, quickly established a large population on Guam. How was the Guam rail most likely affected by the introduction of the brown tree snake?
The Guam rail quickly developed the ability to fly in order to escape from the brown tree snake.
The Guam rail began to build its nests in trees.
The population of the Guam rail declined, and the species nearly became extinct.
The brown tree snake ate only species that lived in trees, so it had no effect on the Guam rail.

The types of small organisms that live on the bottom of streams can be good indicators of water pollution. The table below groups some organisms by their tolerance of pollution. A certain stream that was historically clear and clean has become increasingly polluted with fertilizer waste over the years. Which of these describes a likely result of this pollution?
Stone flies and midges thrive and compete for the same food source.
Mayflies that were previously abundant are no longer present in the stream.
Riffle beetles have become more abundant in the stream.
Large numbers of crayfish have suddenly died.

Identify the following as a short-term change or long-term change.
An earthquake caused landslides and shifts in ground level, which changed the course of rivers or flooded large areas. Earthquakes that occur in ocean areas can cause underwater landslides that create tsunamis. The large waves can destroy coastal ecosystems.
