You are studying primates in West Africa and discover a small population of monkeys in an isolated forest. They resemble a species that lives about 50 kilometers away, across a river. The main difference appears to be white tufts of fur underneath the ears in the new population you've found. What evolutionary mechanism probably explains this difference?

Most of earth’s fresh water is found in oceans and seas stored in glaciers and ice caps groundwater stored beneath the surface found in lakes, rivers, streams, and reservoirs

On a recent expedition to a remote region of northern canada, scientists uncovered skeletal remains from about 100,000 years ago. surprisingly, all the skeletal remains, which included many species from differing biological families and spanned about two thousand years, showed evidence of experiencing temperatures in excess of 1000 degrees fahrenheit (or 538 degrees celsius). which of the following, if true, best explains the apparent paradox between the cold environment and the evidence of the bones experiencing hot temperatures? (a) chemical changes that naturally occur during the process of decay in only one north canadian species produce the same evidence of the species' skeletons being exposed to hot temperatures as the expedition scientists found. (b) a little over 103,000 years ago, a large fire is known to have occurred in northern canada. (c) strong evidence exists that as early as 70,000 years ago, homo sapiens around the world relied heavily on fire to cook animals. (d) in the same expedition and in roughly the same layer of excavation, scientists found rudimentary wood cutting and hunting tools used by early humans.

Apopulation of black bears depends on salmon from a stream for food. if a drought causes the stream to run dry one year, how will this likely impact the black bear population?
