The month of October, and specifically October 15th, is dedicated to Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance. It is estimated that more than 15% of pregnancies in the U.S. ended in either or miscarriage or stillbirth.The death of a child between the age of birth and 1 is much lower (less than 1% of all live births), the loss is keenly felt for the survivors. Sadly, even though many people mean well, their comments to couples who have suffered a miscarriage are often unhelpful and sometimes callous and dismissive. With so many people who have suffered a miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss, we need to be mindful of what we say to grieving parents. What are some of the unhelpful messages and what can be said instead? How can such grief become disenfranchised and how can disenfranchised grief impact the person in mourning?

1. Which of the following is true regarding the Pleistocene Overkill Hypothesis that likely occurred in North America about 10-12,000 years ago?

A. Fauna that migrated across the Bering land bridge with the Clovis hunters did not die because they had evolved to ‘know’ what these people were like (Ecological Naiveté).

B. Migrating Eurasian species outcompeted native flora and fauna leading to their extinction.

C. The guns carried by the Clovis hunters were unlike anything ever seen by Mastadons and other large Pleistocene megafauna.

D. Large organisms died out because invading humans carried with them an unusual parasite that they were not resistant to (evolution of increased competitive ability)

E. Rapid climate change killed off the large organisms, but smaller organisms were able to cope with the changes.

2. Moose are well adapted to cold climates. Their long legs confer them an advantage when escaping predictors in deep snow and their dark fur absorbs incoming solar radiation which keeps them warm. However, moose are experiencing increased stressors which are causing their population to decline in Minnesota. What stressor(s) did we discuss that negatively affect moose populations (also remember the article from The Atlantic)? Select all that apply.

Rising temperatures

Habitat loss

Loss of beaver ponds due to trapping of beavers

Winter Ticks

Changes in wildfire activity

Increases in wolf predation on adult moose

Reduced snow cover

3. A small South American frog produces a toxin that repels the snakes that feed on it. This frog then becomes invasive in the United States and populations of the frog no longer produce a toxin (because its main predator is absent). Now the frog produces 200 times as many eggs. This is best considered an example of_______.

A. the Evolution of Increased Competitive Ability (EICA)  

B. the Linnaean Shortfall  

C. Ecological Differentiation  

D. Adaptive Ecological Vulnerability

4. Which of the following scenarios would have the greatest influence on the growth of Lyme Disease within a forest.

A. The evolution of resistance to the spirochete that carries Lyme disease among small mammals.

B. An increase in predators of small mammals (owls, hawks, etc.) that leads to a reduction of their population.   

C. An increase in white-tailed deer populations due to a lack of hunting pressure   

D. in increase in small mammal populations due to either a bumper crop of food for them or a dramatic reduction of their predators.
