Question

Trophic level transfer efficiency is related to population turnover rate in agricultural pests. There are 15 g/m2 of locusts (herbivorous insects) per 1000 g/m2 of wheat (primary producer) and 4 g/m2 of cutworms (herbivorous insects) per 200 g/m2 of corn (primary producer). have the largest population turnover rate and have the biggest impact on crops. a. locusts, both b. locusts, cutworms c. cutworms, cutworms d. both, both e. cutworms, locusts

Step 1

Population turnover rate for locusts: $\frac{15g/m^2}{1000g/m^2} = 0.015$ Population turnover rate for cutworms: $\frac{4g/m^2}{200g/m^2} = 0.02$ Now, we can compare the population turnover rates and determine which insect has the largest population turnover Show more…
