As described, all trees are sampled at the same time and in the same general locality. Using your general biological knowledge (no need to research the literature to answer this question – use your knowledge and understanding of the natural world as a biologist), provide possible biological and/or ecological reasons why sycamore aphid numbers and distributions may differ between leaves on the same tree (3 reasons) and why aphid numbers and distribution patterns may differ between trees (2 reasons)? write 2 sentences for each reason
Which of the scenarios below illustrate(s) a trade off relating to functional diversity and life history traits? Select all that apply A- The C3 photosynthetic pathway is more energy efficient than C4 and CAM, but less water efficient. B-Plants that produce large seeds generally produce very few, while plants that produce small seeds generally produce many of them. C- Indices of species diversity rely both on species richness and species evenness, but not on species relatedness D- Endothermic animals are better able to maintain their preferred body temperature than ectothermic animals, but expend a large amount of metabolic energy to do so. E- Organisms that specialize on a single food source may use that resource more efficiently than generalists, but risk starvation if unable to find their particular food source.
Identify the dependent and independent variables in the following examples: -The growth of bacterial populations is measured in cold, medium, and high temperatures. -Guinea pigs are kept at different temperatures for 6 weeks. Percent weight gain is recorded. -The diversity of algal species is calculated for a coastal area before and after an oil spill. -Batches of seeds are soaked in salt solutions of different concentrations, and germination is counted for each batch. -An investigator hypothesizes that the adult weight of a dog is higher when it has fewer littermates.
When the average mass of individual plants in a stand is plotted against stand density (log-transformed), the slope of the relationship is very often around Multiple Choice -1/2. -1. +1/2. -3/2. +3/2.
1) A mathematical (differential equation) representation for a metapopulation can be written as dp/dt = cp(1- p) - ep where p is the proportion of patches occupied at time t, c is the rate of patch colonization, and e is the rate of patch extinction. The term on the left hand side is the ‘rate of change in the proportion of patches occupied.’ The first term on the right hand side of the equation provides the effective gain in patch occupancy as a function of p due to the colonization process, and the term in parentheses represents the fraction of patches not currently occupied. The second right hand side term provides the effective loss of patch occupancy due to the (local) extinction process. a) Look at the term for the colonization process. How would you modify this term if you wanted to capture the idea that habitat loss destroyed (i.e., made uninhabitable) a proportion D from the patches that are available for colonization ? b) What value of D guarantees complete extinction of…

You are hoping to get an estimate of the number of birch trees in a local park. You have a satellite image of the park, and plan to use quadrat sampling to estimate the number of birch trees in the park. The park is 1000m by 1000m. Describe how you can set up your quadrat and how you would then use the data you collect to estimate the number of trees in the entire park. (Include a sample calculation).
a)Can alpha diversity value go above 1? b) if you want to compare diversity between Jubilee College state park and Nachusa grassland what is diversity concept will be used? (Alpha, beta, gamma diversity)
