1) Compare the biodiversity indices to one another. State a claim about the effect of pollution on the biodiversity of the stream ecosystem. Describe how the pollution levels affect the species richness and biodiversity of the stream. Justify your claim with evidence. Describe the difference in species richness you observed. Explain how human intervention can change biodiversity in positive ways.

ENDANGERED ANIMAL is  CA least tern bird  1-3 bases on the bird Reasons for Endangerment Explain the various factors that have led to this species’ current plight. Expand on these points individually, based on your species’ unique story. Domino Effects As we’ve learned, species are not islands unto themselves; they are integrated with many other organisms in trophic relationships, mutualisms, competition, etc. How is the absence of this species (or its lowered population size) likely to impact the other members of its habitat? (If findings specific to this point are available, please include them – otherwise, I’m asking you to speculate based on what you’ve learned about the biology of this organism.) Conservation Efforts Discuss past, current, and proposed efforts to conserve this species. Are these strategies effective? Are they realistic? What is the outlook for this organism?
