A population of pacas, a nocturnal rodent, live in South America. Their diet consists of leaves, flowers, and fruits that have fallen from taller trees. A recent fire has wiped out much of the food that the pacas eat. This has caused the pacas to lose body mass. Due to the lack of food, subsequent generations of pacas are thinner than the preceding generations. Identify if this is an example of descent with modification and justify your response.

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
