Summary Introduction

To describe: The factor (dispersal) that ecologists examine to understand the geographic distribution of a species.

Introduction: Biogeography is defined as the study that deals with the geographic distribution of ecosystem and species. The species distribution indicates the evolutionary and ecological interactions with biotic and abiotic factors. There are four factors used by ecologists in order to examine the geographic distribution of species, dispersal, habitat selection, behavior, biotic factors, and abiotic factors.

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.
At any point in time, a number of environmental objectives must be met with a limited amount of economic resources. This means that once an environmental problem is identified, they have to be prioritized. In general, this is done using scientific valuation of the relative risk to human health and the ecology of a given environmental hazard - a procedure known as: A. Biodiversity B. Public Goods C. Risk Assessment D. Profit maximization
Explain and Give Example A. Deep Ecology B. Social Ecology C. Ecofeminism
