Thanks for asking the question

It is True, He represented the quintessential natural theologian who promoted the nobility and sanctity of science while conducting groundbreaking research, which means he proved that the living wood conducts water and did important early work in taxonomy, inspiring future systematists.

He traveled throughout Europe for the collection of specimens and discussed science with the other top naturalists, Ray then recognized the critical need for an organizational system to categorize the ever-increasing collections of different organisms – a system by which one may discern the deeper insights into creation. It was Ray's system of organization that labeled "kinds" as "species" and began the profession of systematics. In that way, Ray etched even more deeply into the human consciousness of the concept of species fixity. A classification system needs discernible entities to get classified, and this suggests their inherent discreteness. Once those classifications have been made, with rules of identification and names for each of the species cataloged, the process of classification itself begets conceptual fixity. As new specimens come in, the format for classification awaits them, and the presumption is that all are classifiable

QUESTION 57 Imagine a community with a biodiversity of 25 species. One species is hunted to extinction by humans, after which the community is protected from any human intervention. However, a year later, you find that biodiversity is down to 5 species. What does this tell you about the species that went extinct due to hunting? It must have been a producer. It was a virulent pathogen. It was a weak competitor. It may have been a keystone species. It...

A cost that changes in total as output changes is a variable cost. True False Managerial judgment is critically important in determining cost behavior. True False The predetermined overhead rate is calculated at the beginning of the year by dividing the total estimated annual overhead by the total estimated level of cost driver True False If actual overhead is greater than applied overhead, the variance is called underapplied overhead. True False The direct method of allocation recognizes all interactions among...

1) Which of the following statements is true or false. a)Species that are smaller than their prey (host), live in or in association with their host, and either kill their host directly (by consuming it) or kill their host evolutionarily (by preventing it from reproducing) represent an extremely virulent form of parasitism (known as parasitic castrators, parasitoids, or brood parasites). This extremely virulent form of parasitism is most likely to evolve in situations where the host species is large, slow...

Select True or False True False 1. Conclusions and estimates about a population based on sample data are not always going to be correct. For this reason measures of reliability, such a significance level and confidence level, should be built into the statistical inference. True False 2. The confidence level is the proportion of times that an estimating procedure will be wrong. True False 3. Statistical inference is the process of making an estimate, prediction, or decision about a population...
