- Scenario: You have been hired by an electric utility company whose stockholders are really pressing the company on ESG matters (environmental, social, governance). The company owns thousands of acres of land surrounding one of its powerplants and leases much of this land to local farmers for agriculture. However, local environmental groups have been stating concerns in the local newspaper about the loss of insect biodiversity on in meadows surrounding the agricultural activities. You have been tasked by the company to develop an experiment to investigate whether a loss of insect biodiversity is occurring in these meadows because of these agricultural activities. Action Steps: Propose a coherent and testable hypothesis that captures some aspect of this concern. Identify the independent and dependent variables in this experiment. Identify any possible confounding variables that might influence your experiment. Identify appropriate controls for your experiment.

Green algae grow on the backs of spider crabs living in shallow water, camouflaging the spider crabs while the crabs protect the algae from predators. 3. Fleas live on the skin of dogs and obtain nutrients from the dogs' blood. 4. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria obtain nutrients from their host plants and use the nutrients to supply nitrogen to the plants.
