8 Termite larvae can be destructive to wooden structures when they feed on the wood as this weakens the structures. The larvae require a moist environment. They build mud tubes along
structure walls to stay connected to the moist soil. A pest control company advertises that they
guarantee termite removal from homes through pesticide use and removal of the mud tubes. How
does removal of the mud tubes affect the termites' ecosystem?
FRemoving the mud tubes prevents termites from moving away from their ecosystem which is
poisoned by the pesticide.
GRemoving the mud tubes prevents rainwater from moving down through the tubes into the
termites' ecosystem.
H Removing the mud tubes traps the termites in the wooden structure, preventing them from
returning to their moist soil ecosystem.
J Removing the mud tubes removes the termites' food from their ecosystem.

Over the past 60 years, many amphibian species have experienced significant population declines and some species have become extinct. scientists suspected that local human activities such as the destruction of wetlands, regional pollution, and deforestation were the main reasons for these losses. however, research over the past 20 years reveals significant amphibian population declines in protected areas of the world, such as nature preserves and parks. these global declines suggest widespread problems including increased ultraviolet radiation, acid rain, and disease. in switzerland, for example, 14 of the 20 native amphibian species are threatened with extinction. chytridiomycosis is a fungal disease first identified in 1998 as a cause of massive amphibian deaths. in some severely impacted populations, a few individuals have survived, perhaps because of some natural resistance. if these resistant individuals continue to survive and prosper, new resistant populations might emerge. this would be an example of the founder effect artificial selection genetic drift natural selection sexual selection
