Question 3 (Mandatory) (6 points) Use an example to illustrate how two different species concepts can lead to different species determinations. In other words, describe two organisms which would be considered the same species by one concept, but a different species by another concept. Be specific about WHY each determination would be different. You may not use the maggot fly example from the case study we discussed. 4

Question 4 Select 4 organisms from any of the major phyla listed below. You are required to select your organisms from four different phyla. You cannot use the same phyla twice. • Give the taxonomic structure for each organism you chose, • Describe the environment where it is found • Is the organism endangered, protected or otherwise in danger of extinction • Provide one way your organism can be protected from extinction. Phyla • Porifera • Cnidaria Platyhelminthe • Mollusca • Annelida • Echinoderms Rotifera • Chordata • Nematoda Complete the table provided in the answer box. Don't forget to upload a picture of each organism you slected.

Class: Liliopsida Zingiberales Musaceae Musa Order: Taxon W: Genus: Species epithet: acuminata Figure 7 b) Taxonomy is the science of naming and classifying organisms. State two (2) importance of taxonomy. c) Phylogenetic tree shows evolutionary relationships among organisms. What information can be generated from the branch point of the tree? d) Oreocchromis mossambicus is a species that has been introduced in freshwater ecosystem in Malaysia. Describe the threats of this introduced species to biodiversity.

Question 1 In a plot of species richness as a function of the number of samples taken ______________.     A)  additional samples after the asymptote will add little new information.   B)  the asymptote represents species evenness.   C)  a bimodal curve indicates a high degree of endemism.   D)  the slope of the line at the asymptote is a measure of beta diversity.           Question 2    Habitats with moderate levels of disturbance have higher species diversity.     A) True   B) False

Question # 19. What are allopatric and sympatric speciation? Give example.

Question 3: I introduced 2 species of super-mutant ant species into my terrarium. These are the only species competing for resources.  Species 1's common name is the TEN-headed ZINGer ant and they have a population size of N1 and a carrying capacity of K1. The blue line shows the isocline for species 1. Species 2's common name is the Evil Ant. The population size of species 2 is N2 and the carrying capacity is K2. The green line shows the isocline for species 2 The red dot is the present combination of N1 and N2.  Part a) Given the data how will the population of both species (N1 and N2) change- pick the correct colored arrow (pink, brown, black, or red) to show the direction that the combination of N1 and N2 will change
