Summaries the points made in the lecture,being sure to explain how they cast doubt on specific points made in the reading passage. two hypotheses about see otters populations declining
The reading and lecture are both about two hypotheses, which each of them can confirm the causes of sea otter populations decreasing. The author of reading believes that there are some reasons that can support the pollution hypothesis. The lecture challenges the statements made by the author. The professor is of the opinion that predators' hypothesis can better explain the causes of otter populations declining.
First of all, the author suggests that on the Alaskan coast there were sources of pollution such as oil rigs and industrial chemical substances. This claim is challenged by the lecture. She says no one can discover Dead Sea otters on Alaskan beaches. Furthermore, he argues that this is hard to find death sea otter, so it can prove the predator's hypothesis because predators killed the sea otters then ate them. Consequently, there were not any sea otter wash up onshore.
Secondly, the writer contends that other mammals were declined at that time, therefore this event shows this fact that there was a main factor which affected the whole ecosystem. The lecture, however, rebuts this by asserting that in the Alaskan, orcas hunted whales, but whales killed by a human, so there were no whales for eating orcas. She elaborates on this by mentioning that the orcas should change their nourishment and ate small sea mammals like sea otters and sea lions, therefore this caused their populations were declined during the time.
Finally, it is stated in the article that pollution can clarify the uneven pattern of otter decline because otter populations shrank greatly, but others were stable. The lecture, on the other hand, posits that the unequal motif can explain by the orcas because they could access the sea otters place. Thus, the orcas chased them ant it caused otter populations decreased.
