Question
Chapter 56.4, Problem 4R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The theory of alternative state or regime shift with an example.
Introduction:
Alternative state refers to a different community, which could have developed at a particular place under same environmental conditions. When a community moves to a new regime, it cannot be predicted whether the original species can be restored or not, even if the original environmental conditions are established again.

A procedure for ensuring that ________ is experimental design.
Question 1 options:
A)
the change in the dependent variable may be solely attributed to the change in the independent variable
B)
any and all effects on all experimental values are measured
C)
the change in the dependent variable may be solely attributed to the change in the extraneous variable
D)
the change in the independent variable may be solely attributed to the change in the complex variable
For your summer research project, you decide to repeat Lillian Tuttle’s (2017) experiment testing the effect of lionfish on other fish that are cleaners and clients. You do this new experiment at a new location (Bonaire), but use basically the same experimental approach and BACI design as Tuttle.
a) You do not separate resident and transient clients (as Tuttle did), and below is a graph of your results showing the effect of the treatment on the total density of client fish in the community. Please explain your result. Imagine that you are planning to publish your experiment and that your answer to this question will be part of the “Results” section of your paper. Please do not worry about hypothetical statistical tests; just assume that the obvious patterns displayed in the graph can be interpreted at face value.
I’m not quite understanding this question can you explain which best describes bottleneck?

- A biology student is investigating the claim that the temperature can be predicted by counting cricket chirps. He has collected data and comes up with the linear model T=39.2+0.233r, where T is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and r is the number of chirps per minute. Interpret the slope of the equation. The model predicts a decrease of 0.233 degrees for each increase of 1 chirp per minute. The model predicts a decrease of 39.2 degrees for each increase of 1 chirp per minute.
