Chapter 40, Problem 8TYU
Summary Introduction
To discuss:
How evolutionary history and ecological factors affect the distribution of species.
Concept introduction:
Earth was not always the way we see it today. Over billions of years, the differing environmental conditions (like early Earth atmosphere, ice age and more), evolution, continental drift, extinction and many more, have shaped the face of Earth. Thus, to survive and reproduce, different species have moved around to find suitable niches on land as well as water and adapted to the new ecological factors.

WRITE ABOUT A THEME: INTERACTIONS In Batesianmimicry, a palatable species gains protection by mimickingan unpalatable one. Imagine that individuals of a palatable,brightly colored fly species are blown to three remote islands.The first island has no predators of that species; the second haspredators but no similarly colored, unpalatable species; and thethird has both predators and a similarly colored, unpalatablespecies. In a short essay (100–150 words), predict what mighthappen to the coloration of the palatable species on each islandthrough time if coloration is a genetically controlled trait.Explain your predictions
WRITE ABOUT A THEME: INTERACTIONS One factorfavoring rapid population growth by an introduced speciesis the absence of the predators, parasites, and pathogens thatcontrolled its population in the region where it evolved. In ashort essay (100–150 words), explain how evolution by naturalselection in a region of introduction would influence the rateat which native predators, parasites, and pathogens attack anintroduced species.

Denoted as H, this index is calculated as: H = -Σpi * ln(pi) where: Σ: A Greek symbol that means “sum” ln: Natural log pi: The proportion of the entire community made up of species i The higher the value of H, the higher the diversity of species in a particular community. The lower the value of H, the lower the diversity. A value of H = 0 indicates a community that only has one species. The Shannon Equitability Index is a way to measure the evenness of species in a community. The term “evenness” simply refers to how similar the abundances of different species are in the community. Denoted as EH, this index is calculated as: EH = H / ln(S) where: H: The Shannon Diversity Index S: The total number of unique species What is the Shannon diversity index value for this community?
