How can humans balance the interests of ranchers who want to control prairie dog populations

Answer

The Interests can be balanced through;

•Undertaking habitat protection

•Relocating prairie dog colonies

•Maintaining the peace by preventing conflict

•Combating plagues through treatment and research

•Use of conservation education

Explanation

Prairie dogs are among the rodents who burrow in soil and are located in huge numbers in the grasslands of the central and western North America. The species include the black-tailed, Mexican, Gunnison’s and the Utah. The main contribution of the species is that their colonies create islands of habitats that help other species. The problem facing these species are targets from ranchers that believe in a false campaign that cattle fall/frequently trip on the burrow holes thus their colonies are cleared by bulldozers for housing development. In addition to that, they also shot the animals for sports. It is because of this siege on the species that The Prairie Dog Coalition is fighting to protect these species through public education, preventing the conflict, changing position of project and habitat protection.

organisms that lack symmetry are called asymmetrical and belong to phylum porifera/sponges.

organisms with specialized stinging cells belong to phylum cnidaria. stinging cells are called cnidoblast cells.

cnidarians show two morphological forms : polyp (sessile) and medusa (mobile)

filter feeding is observed in porifera members.  

alternation of generation is observed in coelenterata or cnidaria. there is alternation of asexual polyp form and sexual medusoid form. it is also referred as metagenesis.

the level of progesterone is low at the pre-ovulatory phase of the cycle but it gradually increases and the levels are high at the luteal phase. if pregnancy occurs, the level of progesterone will be high throughout the pregnancy.

if egg is fertilized and the mother gets pregnant, progesterone starts preparing the uterus for the implantation. it starts building up the lining of uterus and make it hostile of the period of pregnancy.
