Biological Isolation: Flora and fauna has been able to adapt over millions of years in isolation. It has been able to adapt without the influence of predators. That is why Australian fauna is very susceptible to introduced species. EG. The fact that Kangaroos have roamed around for many years without predators. Geological Isolation: Due to the land not being refreshed regularly from instability (volcanic action) the land is generally very old with poor nutrients. Soils have also been subjected to

particular area‚ cycling of nutrients in a habitat‚ and the growth of populations. 2. Describe the relationship between ecology and evolutionary biology. Darwin’s extensive observations (ecological studies) of the distribution of organisms and their adaptations to specific environments led him to propose that environmental factors interacting with variation within populations could cause evolutionary change. We now know that events that occur in the framework of ecological time (minutes‚ months‚ years)

Calculate the magnitude of the ostrich’s eastward component and its running speed to the east. 1. Kangaroos can easily jump as far as 8.0 m. If a kangaroo makes five such jumps westward‚ how many jumps must it make northward to have a northwest displacement with magnitude of 68 m? What is the angle of the resultant displacement with respect to north? 2. In 1926

Australians have plenty of stereotypes from the riding kangaroos and drinking beer all day to being a very multicultural country and loving our sport.

In a bid to reverse this disturbing trend and conserve this clearly vulnerable animal a group of 18 koalas and a number of young were introduced onto Kangaroo Island in South Australia. These koalas had no natural predators and humans were forbidden from hunting the animals for their fur (Masters etal‚ 2004). Unfortunately with none of these pressures that mainland koalas experienced the population
