Flycatcher birds that migrate from Africa to Europe feed their nestlings mostly with moth caterpillars. The data presented show the mean dates of egg laying, hatching, and fledging of flycatcher young, and the 1980 and 2000 peak mass of caterpillars.

Why are ecologists  concerned about the shift in  date from May 28 in  1980 to May 15 in  2000 of the caterpillar peak mass?

The half-lives of many cytoplasmic proteins vary with the identities of their N-terminal residues via the  N-end rule.

a) Proteins with the “destabilizing” N-terminal residues contain Asp, Arg, Leu, Lys, and Phe with their half-lives > 2 to 3 hours

b) Proteins with the “destabilizing” N-terminal residues with their half-lives of only 2 to 3 minutes contain; Asp, Arg, Leu, Lys, and Phe

c) Proteins contain Ala, Gly, Met, Ser, Thr, and Val have half-lives of >10 hours are stabilizing N-terminal residue in prokaryotes

d) Those with the “stabilizing” N-terminal residues Ala, Gly, Met, Ser, Thr, and Val have half-lives of >20 hours in eukaryotes

Which of the following is correct?
