Textbook Question
Chapter 29, Problem 1A
A developer is interested in building vacation homes on 150 acres of oceanfront property. A priority is to retain as much natural beauty of the area as possible. Safe and effective wastewater treatment must be part of the plan. What advantages and disadvantages of each of the following options must the developer consider before selecting one?
a) Individual septic systems for each home
b) Trickling filter system
c) Constructed wetlands

d. Assuming that a flash of darkness is an effective zeitgeber, what impact on circadian
rhythms would you expect to result from an event such as the 2024 solar eclipse (assume
it was viewed from Carbondale IL, where totality occurred at about 2 pm)? Explain your

e. Finally, give a real-world example of how knowledge of circadian rhythms and
entrainment has implications for human health and wellbeing or conservation biology.
This example could be from your reading or from things discussed in class.
