Fierce Flamingos
This type of flamingo was studied in the journal article that you read for class today.
What is the lesser flamingo?
Chlorophyll-a concentrations were found to have a positive correlation with this waterbird in the paper you read for class today.
What is the lesser flamingo?
Lake Natron resides primarily in this country.
What is Tanzania?
The figures show a stronger relationship between chlorophyll-a concentrations and lesser flamingo populations while excluding this month from data analysis.
What is December?
This is the percentage of the world's lesser flamingo population that lives in Lake Natron.
What is 75%?
This month saw the highest chlorophyll-a concentrations at all three studied sites in the paper.
What is November?
Lake Natron can reach temperatures as high as this.
What is 60 degrees Celsius?
This studied site had the highest population of lesser flamingos.
What is Pinyinyi?
This process allows flamingos to contribute to the nutrient cycle in a stinky way.
What is guanotrophication?
This type of analysis was conducted using Chlorophyll-a as a dependent variable "to measure the strength effect of the studied physical-chemical variables".
What is multiple regression?
This process happens to birds that mistakenly fly into Lake Natron.
What is calcification?
This lagoon had the strongest positive correlation between chlorophyll-a concentration and lesser flamingo population.
What is Engaresero?
Lesser flamingos are this specific type of feeder (use the technical term).
What are obligate filter feeders?
These two sites recorded a "significant positive correlation" between phytoplankton and dissolved oxygen.
Magadini and Pinyinyi
Lake Natron contains this number of lagoons.
What is 22?
Besides Tanzania, Lake Natron is partially (very slightly) contained in this neighboring country.
What is Kenya?
This is the maximum depth (in cm of course) that lesser flamingos are capable of feeding at.
What is 80 cm?
This was the mean value of chlorophyll-a concentration at the Magadini site (plus or minus 1 mg/L)?
What is 26.68 mg/L?
Lake Natron is given its red color by this type of algae.
What is haloarchaea?
Figure 3 contained two plots. The R^2 value of 0.0155 either corresponds to the plot that includes or doesn't include December 2019 data. Name which plot.
What is the plot with December 2019 data?
