 whether that be on long walks, small strolls and shopping trips. This robust rucksack makes a comfortable alternative to transport boxes for visiting the vet.
Two net windows at the front and top, as well as 6 large metal eyelets, ensure optimum air circulation around the inside of the rucksack. This ensures your pet has plenty of fresh air when travelling in the Voyage Rucksack. The removable laying surface has robust nylon on one side and snuggly sheepskin plush on the other. A short lead with carabiner clip helps ensures your pet does not jump out unexpectedly, offering both safety and comfort. This light rucksack is also comfortable for you to wear – the straps can be adjusted in length to fit perfectly. The padding in the straps and back also help to prevent uncomfortable cutting in and ensure a balanced distribution of pressure.
Describe 2 models to explain how multiple species coexist.
Either based on equilibrium or non-equilibrium.
> sp. either need to have adults that are able to survive over poor years in order to reproduce when conditions are favourable, OR for short lived sp., they need to be able to store their genetic material to be able to recruit when conditions are favourable.
- e.g. feral pigs and goats and vine on pacific island.
> all these factors create different habitats which accomodate a greater amount of sp.
- "niche partitioning"
Why are there so many types of fruits and dispersal patterns in plants?
> Newly opened gaps in resource use "allow" invasion; e.g.
- a change in land use that results in decreased abundance of native sp.
> Especially in rapidly changing environment (e.g. climate change), invaders might be better adapted to habitats than endemic native sp.
- root network is extensive and only grows in winter and summer when the water content is high.
- Transported in dry balast from Eur.
> More similar to r selected sp.
- Aus natives mostly K sp.
Define inducible and structural defenses, and explain the benefits and disadvantages.
- allows for adaption by predator sp.
- e.g. possums eat to toxic threshold, then go eat something else while their bodies process the toxin.
- e.g. radish releases glucosinolates when under attack by cabbage looper caterpillar which decreases pupation rates in the next generation.
- acacia makes leaves tough and spikey.
An increase in the likelihood of encountering herbivores = increase likelihood of investing resources in defense.
What is an 'evolutionary' vs 'climatic' relic?
> Once dominant, not able to compete with newer life forms.
> out competed and out evolved by evolutionary superior sp.
What are some temporal effects on ecosystem functioning?
> facultative priority effect = alter biotic conditions to increase suitability for future sp.
Understanding priority effects helps devise cost-effective strategies to increase survival and persistance of certain sp.
- e.g. feral pig and goat eradication on Pacific Is.
> "empty niche to be filled" or "cubby hole a sp. fits in to"
> assumes the niche is there regardless of whether the sp. is there or not.
- realized = actual area of fundamental niche actually occupied by a sp.
Can grazing improve productivity?
= decr. in population of dominant sp.
- also enables niche partitioning of competing sp.
Describe the Latitudinal Biodiversity Gradient and global patterns of distribution of sp.
> Majority of sp. with smallest ranges lives @ 17deg. N of Eq.
Higher latitude sp. must survive an incr. range of extremes.
What are the impacts of climate change on distribution, behaviour and phenology?
> Also called "introduction effort"
> a population is less likely to go extinct if individuals are spread spatially so adverse conditions in one lox (a'sub-population') will not negatively affect individuals in another.
Explain how herbivore behaviour evolved to avoid toxic plant compounds.
How can animals take advantage of plant defenses to increase fitness?
Why do insects have specialised diets and not mammals?
- "avoid effect of toxic compounds"
- e.g. Monarch butterfly larvae locate high pressure latex tubule in plants.
> measure and analyse the degree of dependency amongst observations in geographic space; i.e. the intensity of geographic relationships between observations in an area.I thought you might like to see my take on a civilian pack.I made this pack from hair on buffalo hide and tow linen.I built it along the lines of both a market wallet.It has a single strap that adjusts with a brass buckle.In the photo of it closed you can see how a blanket fits when the pack is folded and buckled.I carry eveything that I need on a scout in it.These arent the best pics but it will have to do for now.I will get photos of how I carry it and its contents.The nice thing about it is at the end of the day you can take everything out of it and stuff it with leaves and make a nice pad for sleeping on or to use as a pillow.I have an 04 mustang gt with a 02 engine. I've had a check engine light since i put the motor in, P0340 cam position sensor bank 1. I swapped the motor 6 months ago, never had a problem until recently. Car is now occasionally missing, idling rough and occasionally knocking.
I replaced the cam position sensor with a used one i had lying in the garage...going to buy a new one from ford tomorrow....did not fix the problem.
After i reset the ECU, the car runs like it should. The moment i turn the car off and then back on again, the check engine light comes on and all the problems come back.
I've heard of the alternator causing issues, as well as the cam position sensor. Originally i was thinking wiring, but now really dont think so since the problem does go away.
Now the big question...if the alternator is causing a problem, would it actually cause the car to run rough???
Unless your battery is going low it wont cause issues. Check if the connection is clean, and replace... its a cheap sensor. Do you have a tuner? Clear the codes, then do battery reset.
No idea about alternator... How is your voltage? Here is a list of things it can be when you get code from another site...
Make sure the CPS sensor is good. If its not it will cause all sorts of weird issues.
I've replaced the cam position sensor and crank position sensor...they were both cheap sensors so i figured id try them. 
I'm down to either PCM or wiring...highly doubt its wiring since it isnt always a problem and problem is getting worse.
I read up on the alternator causing it to throw the code, but it looks like thats an issue on the 05 and up. They are having a problem with the voltage regulator diode.
Oh and one more reason to point towards the PCM...the car used to be supercharged...the first time i had it tuned, it was tuned by a shady shop that fried the PCM. Supposedly they replaced it...I'm starting to think they just got it to work enough to make the car run. I've had this problem ever since it was in their shop over a year ago.
Can a tune shop shut of the Service Engine Soon light through their custom tuned chip?
They sure can. Typically ECU failure is VERY rare. Datalogging is the key to solving problems like this.
superbeef when you had the problem, where you experiencing any problems or just a service engine soon? Also, what year is your car?
Jgorm, the first tune shop supposedly fried the ECU. I'm really wondering if they just hid the problem. I don't have their chip installed anymore. I wish i could do data logging, but dont have the tool. I do have the pinout, so im gonna check the voltages and resistance tomorrow.
no the car was running crazy like the timming was way off and some times it would not start rite or shut rite back off after starting,,if the electrical system is not get the propper power or to mutch power it can create all kinds of problems that are not realy there and of course i was getting all kinds of codes one of witch was the cps..
Superbeef, I'm an electronics tech so i know all about voltages causing funny problems. When you had the problem did you have code P1639 Manfacurer Contrl Auxiliary Input Auxiliary Outputs.
you have 1639? that is... if you have that code it is probably the tuner that screwed it up.
This diagnostic trouble code (DTC) indicates that the vehicle ID (VID) block is not programed or the information within is corrupt.
Ryan thanks for the help. I think you've help me before with my problems...one of these days ill have a working mustang.
Ok so here is a real quick history on the car. Tune shop blew the computer, supposedly replaced it. Had numerous other problems with that shop. Car used to be supercharged, but i blew the engine back in june. So i put a motor out of a 02 mustang in the car. The only thing i have done to the computer was remove the chip the tune shop put in it...did not replace it with anything.
I had advanced auto run a code scan on the car. This is how it looks...
no problem... your computer is probably messed up, if you replaced the
