In the northwestern portion of the United States, salmon runs from the ocean to the freshwater rivers are extremely important. Salmon carry rich nutrients only found in the ocean and deposit them into the rivers. These nutrients are then distributed to the nearby forests as birds, bears, and other animals consume the salmon or the salmon eggs. Human activities have caused a decrease in native salmon species. Formulate a hypothesis regarding the impact this decrease will cause within the local ecosystem.

Recent research by marine biologists suggests that bottlenose dolphins have names for themselves. scientists played sounds they had identified as the names of particular dolphins, putting them through a synthesizer so that they did not sound like the voices of particular dolphins. the researchers found that dolphins would respond to the names of other dolphins that they were related to or associated with, but they ignored the names of strangers. this discovery suggests a much greater degree of self-awareness in aquatic mammals than was previously suspected. if this research holds up, what does it suggest about dolphins?
