- Why do we need several ways to measure species diversity? Why not just use species richness or evenness?arrow_forwardThe table below shows the number of individuals from 4 species of frogs sampled in a pond. What is the Shannon Index this community? Round your answer to the second decimal. species A species B species C species D 9 14 23 31arrow_forwardA conservation biologist is studying a tropical rainforest and records the number of unique plant species in three separate patches within the rainforest. She finds that Patch A has 50 species, Patch B has 45 species, and Patch C has 55 species. She then determines that the total number of unique plant species across all three patches is 100. Which type of diversity does this last number illustrate? Group of answer choices: A. Beta B. Epsilon C. Delta D. Alpha E. Gammaarrow_forward
- Which of the following has the highest species richness? A community with 35 species of high evenness. 34 species of high evenness. 888 33 species of low evenness. 36 species with very low evenness.arrow_forwardWhich of the scenarios below illustrate(s) a trade off relating to functional diversity and life history traits? Select all that apply A- The C3 photosynthetic pathway is more energy efficient than C4 and CAM, but less water efficient. B-Plants that produce large seeds generally produce very few, while plants that produce small seeds generally produce many of them. C- Indices of species diversity rely both on species richness and species evenness, but not on species relatedness D- Endothermic animals are better able to maintain their preferred body temperature than ectothermic animals, but expend a large amount of metabolic energy to do so. E- Organisms that specialize on a single food source may use that resource more efficiently than generalists, but risk starvation if unable to find their particular food source.arrow_forwardTwo species have the same initial population size of 48.00, as well as rates of b = 0.83 and d = 0.66. However, species A reproduces seasonally and species B reproduces relatively continuously. How much bigger would the population of species B be after five years as compared to species A?arrow_forward
- Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion Consider this claim: Changes in environmental conditions always result in new ecosystems and loss of biodiversity characterized by an increase in the number of some species, the evolution of new species, and the extinction of some species. Use what you have learned from the lesson, as well as reliable and reputable resources, to evaluate this claim. Use at least three examples from the lesson and other sources to support the valid ideas in the claim and refute the invalid?arrow_forwardWhat is the pyramid of numbers in a pond ecosystem?arrow_forwardHow can you use your data to discourage or promote logging of natural forest for human consumption? If logging activities cause decline of species diversity, what alternatives do you propose to maintain the tree species diversity in natural forests?arrow_forward
