Write the word TRUE if the statement is correct; if not, write the WORD that makes it false. Cladosporium cladosporioides is used for biodegradation. Speciation and extinction can be seen in the temporal pattern of biodiversity. The barrel concept can be used to explain the effects of limiting factors.

ex. Locate any woodland or forest area close to your home. Create a 10 x 10 m quadrat once you've identified a suitable location. Markings can be made with a straw or a rope. List and count any fauna found at the locations (either inside or outside the quadrats). 1. How far should you record and observe any fauna encountered outside the quadrat? Why do you think it is not necessary to note the distance for faunal observation outside the quadrat?
Imagine you are a botanist. Below are characteristics of a never-before described plant species recently identified as part of the ‘All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory’ (ATBI).Organism 1Field Notes: Specimen collected from rocks on bank of streams from the Adirondack Park (NY). Plant growth form is more ‘prone’ than upright (plant seems to have little support).Laboratory Analysis:Body: Consists of three regions: light brown anchoring tissue (base of plant); Green vegetative area (middle of plant); Brownish-green, stalk-like structure bearing capsule at end (top of plant).Size: 8 cm in lengthChromosomal Analysis: Bottom two thirds of plant is haploid (chromosome # 10), while top third of plant is haploid (chromosome # 20).Lignin test: NegativeCuticle: PresentLeaves: Absent, though they do possess green photosynthetic structures. Contains chlorophyll a, b; B-carotenes; xanthophylls.Roots: Absent, though they do possess anchoring (possibly absorptive) structures.Stem: Absent, though they do…

EXTENSION: Biodiversity has many components. "Relative abundance" is a measure of how abundant the members are for one specific population when compared to all the living things in a community. The formula for this is: Relative Abundance (%) = [(# organisms in population of interest) / (total number of organisms in the community)] x 100 Given a 100 m² plot where the following species of grasses are present, calculate the relative abundance for species 4. Write your answer in the space below. Give your answer as a percentage. Round to the nearest whole number. Grass Species Number Present 210 48 LO 7% 8% 13 % 16% 76 122 159 252 75
There are several hypotheses to explain why biodiversity is higher near the equator. State one of these hypotheses, and make an argument AGAINST it being the correct explanation.
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 ones. Add a list of your resources at the end of your response. Then, draw a conclusion about the stability of ecosystems, how and what can affect the stability of ecosystems, and how changes in the environment may affect the types and number of living things in an ecosystem.
For the the organisms Orchard Spider and Allies What is the geographic distribution of each species? Is it native or invasive? indicate where it is native and if it is not native, indicate where its native range is. Write a short description of each organisms’ life history (no more than three sentences for each one). Life history facts include diet, behavior, breeding, habitat etc. After reading about the life history of the three species you are focusing on it should be relatively simple to isolate what you find most interesting about them. Write a short description about what you find most interesting about all three species you are focusing on (no more than four sentences for each species).
Calculate Shannon Diversity Index (H) and Evenness(e) of order. (Hymneoptera(Bee), of autumn season in excel showing all calculations. Show all ca;culation of excel as well. The data is given below. Species Abundance(S) Apis Cerena 14 Apis mellifera 12 Total 28 You put the data wrong in the same question last time so I have totaled it for you. Please check it. You put 2 instead of 12 in abundance of Apis mellifera last time.
Please complete concept map for this activity. Concept Mapping activity, you will revise your concept map on sea otters from the beginning of the semester based on your new understanding and comprehension of traditional ecological knowledge. Based on the videos, your map should describe the relationships between sea otters, shellfish (like clams), and people. Consider including some of the following terms as you map these relationships: Butter clams Western knowledge systems Indigenous knowledge systems Management barriers Customary and traditional foods Colonial assumptions and methodologies
Make a presentation using the ecosystem to show the interrelationship of animals and plants. It should be in a flowchart that hilights biodiversity and interdependence, when on species is removed the rest are in jeopardy.
Ecology and Biology: Shannon Diversity Index: Definition & Example The Shannon Diversity Index (sometimes called the Shannon-Wiener Index) is a way to measure the diversity of species in a community. Denoted as H, this index is calculated as: H = -Σpi * ln(pi) where: Σ: A Greek symbol that means “sum” ln: Natural log pi: The proportion of the entire community made up of species i The higher the value of H, the higher the diversity of species in a particular community. The lower the value of H, the lower the diversity. A value of H = 0 indicates a community that only has one species. The Shannon Equitability Index is a way to measure the evenness of species in a community. The term “evenness” simply refers to how similar the abundances of different species are in the community. Denoted as EH, this index is calculated as: EH = H / ln(S) where: H: The Shannon Diversity Index S: The total number of unique species What is the Shannon diversity index value for this community? What…
Describe how historical and ecological processes have shaped biodiversity and its distribution. In your answer be sure to include examples from the various modes of speciation (e.g. allopatric, sympatric, parapatric, and peripatric).
