Determine if each statement is correct or incorrect: 1. Ecosystems with fewer numbers of species tend to be less stable. 2. Increasing numbers of species lead to more redundancy which is bad for the ecosystem. 3. More species mean more niche separation. 4. Species with a low resistance will also have low resilience. 5. Disturbances to ecosystems can be both naturally occurring and human caused. 6. Stresses to ecosystems are useful for removing weaker species and ensuring the strongest survive. 7. Bringing non-native species into an area to increase biodiversity makes the ecosystem more stable.

1 “The Nature of Ecology” Biological scientists often study/research adaptations that have evolved within particular species. That is, they focus upon the biological aspects alone. Think critically about what ecology means and describe within a few paragraphs how ecologists approach the study of living organisms. As part of your answer, include a realistic and detailed example of a study by an ecologist.
Explain the differences between a population, a community and an ecosystem. Be sure to include a specific example of what is included in each.
How is the risk assessment process for an ecosystem component different from the risk assessment process for human health?
Match the problems for biodiversity with the solutions. Train more scientists. Establish payments for land managed to enhance conservation. Train and hire local people to work in protected areas. Understand the diverse values of different societies and organizations. Financial subsidies to industries that damage the environment should end. 1. Ecosystems lack monitoring. 2. Economic decision making often fails to include ecosystem services. 3. Revenues associated with protected areas do not directly benefit local people. 4. Endangered species occur on private land. 5. Many businesses remain uninterested in conservation issues.
