Question

Warming ocean temperatures affects the biodiversity of organisms. Which of the following disruptions would you expect to see in a population of northern whales as a result of a warmer ocean water

Answer 1

Feeding and hunting ranges will shift.

Step-by-step explanation:

Options

1. More males will be born than females, skewing population sizes.
2. Feeding and hunting ranges will shift.
3. There will be fewer diseases in marine mammals.
4. Food chains will be reversed.

Anthropogenic climate change has caused to the unfortunate warming of the sea surface, leading to alterations in the behavior, physiology, migration patterns, and feeding / breeding grounds of marine organisms. In this scenario, as northern whales are not adapted to these conditions and because their prey will probably redistribute, they could expand or modificate their geographical range. Therefore, this indicates that their feeding and hunting ranges will shift.
