(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The implications of applying phylogenetic species concept (PSC) over biological species concept (BSC) on evolutionary mechanisms of speciation.

Introduction: Phylogenetic species concept defines species by their relationship with the other species. This concept is applicable for both interbreeding and allotropic population. The key idea of this concept is that species should be diagnosable or with a set of unique features.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The implications of applying phylogenetic species concept (PSC) over biological species concept on the study of species diversity in ecological communities.

Introduction: Phylogenetic species concept defines species by their relationship with the other species. This concept is applicable for both interbreeding and allotropic population. The key idea of this concept is that species should be diagnosable or with a set of unique features.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The implications of applying phylogenetic species concept (PSC) over biological species concept on the estimation of species diversity at a global level.

Introduction: Phylogenetic species concept defines species by their relationship with the other species. This concept is applicable for both interbreeding and allotropic population. The key idea of this concept is that species should be diagnosable or possess a set of unique features.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The implications of applying phylogenetic species concept (PSC) over biological species concept on the conservations practices under U.S-Endangered Species Act.

Q8. A researcher wants to study the effectiveness of a pill intended to reduce stomach heartburn in pregnant women. The researcher chooses randomly 400 women to participate in this experiment for 9 months of their pregnancy period. They all need to have the same diet. The researcher designs two groups of 200 participants: One group take the real medication intended to reduce heartburn, while the other group take placebo medication. In this study what are: Independent variable: Dependent variable: Control variable: Experimental group: " Control group: If the participants do not know who is consuming the real pills and who is consuming the sugar pills. This study is It happens that 40% of the participants do not find the treatment helpful and drop out after 6 months. The researcher throws out the data from subjects that drop out. What type of bias is there in this study? If the company who makes the medication funds this research, what type of bias might exist in this research work?
