Title: Ecology and Biodiversity: Key Questions and Concepts

### Key Questions in Ecology

3. **How do past histories influence ecology? Describe the Wallace Line in your answer.**

4. **How does the experiment on the distribution of invasive grasses in South America describe the interactions between abiotic and biotic factors?**

---

On the left side of the image, there is a close-up view of a QWERTY keyboard from a MacBook Pro, providing a context for the setting in which these questions might be answered - a digital and educational environment.

For question 3, students are encouraged to explore the historical aspects of ecology, using the concept of the Wallace Line, which is a faunal boundary line drawn in 1859 by the British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace that separates the ecozones of Asia and Wallacea (a transitional zone between Asia and Australia).

Question 4 invites students to consider a specific ecological experiment focused on invasive species, namely grasses, in South America. This question aims to help students understand how both abiotic (non-living) and biotic (living) factors interplay in ecological systems.

These questions encourage deep thinking about ecological principles and historical biogeography, fostering a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter.
