McIver beetles come in three colors: black, white, and brown. They are consumed by the Foust finch. To avoid predators, the beetles hide on the bark of trees in their environments. If the number of trees with black bark was significantly greater than the number of trees with white or brown bark, what would be the effect on the predation of McIver beetles by the Foust finches?

a. far fewer black beetles would be consumed
b. far more black beetles would be consumed
c. there should be no change in predation patterns

a. far fewer black beetles would be consumed

Explanation:

Since there are more trees with black bark, black beetles have a better chance of hiding. The white and brown beetles would be consumed more by the predators.

the answer is c) abandoned properties that are contaminated with hazardous materials.

the circled areas are referred to   as sunspots.   the sunspots are cooler than the   surrounding area.

sunspots are temporary phenomena on the photosphere of the sun that appear visibly as dark spots compared to surrounding regions. they correspond to concentrations of magnetic field flux that inhibit convection and result in reduced surface temperature compared to the surrounding photosphere.
