Scientific Literacy - Interpreting Scientific Data Effects of Predation on the Niche of Lizards
This activity will count as part of Test 3, Learning Unit 3 – Animal Kingdom
Student Learning Goals:
Analyze and interpret data from a scientific figure that comes from a primary research source.
Analyze and interpret the impact of an invasive species on the behavior of another species in an ecosystem.
Background
: Use the link provided below to learn about the genus Anolis sagrei
, commonly called the brown anole. Important points to note from this resource include:
This link is to the publication from the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory, University of Georgia
Anolis sergei Background Information SERL University of Georgia
What size range and colors do they exhibit.
What geographical areas do they reside in.
Where do these lizards normally reside (in low vegetation, or are they arboreal).
What does arboreal mean?
What group in chordata do these lizards belong to. (use your lecture and lab texts)
Are these lizards endo- or ectothermic. (use your lecture and lab texts)
What do they primarily feed on.
Analysis and Interpretation of a Scientific Figure (HHMI Biointeractive link)
: Use the link below to learn about one effect of predation on the brown anole lizard while in its natural environment. HHMI - Information on Effects of Predation
Note – upper branches (perches) of a tree are generally thinner (smaller in diameter) than lower branches (perches). Use the research data to answer the questions provided.
Short discussion questions
should be answered using complete sentences (grammar, punctuation and spelling are graded)
Short answer questions
, such as what type of graph, etc. may be answered in one, or a few words.
Submission Directions:
Answer the questions in the space provided on the worksheet provided.
Submit your completed worksheet in the online submission site in the Canvas module.
All work should be done on an individual basis (no two worksheets should have the same wording).
Note the submission due date (for full earned credit) as well as the last date available (for reduced credit 5% per hour late)

A niche is loosely defined as an organism's role in its environment, which can include factors like, feeding preference, nesting behaviors, mating behaviors, method of obtaining prey, and local habitats. Considering Gause's law, conduct research on the California Red Legged Frog and the Northern Pacific TreeFrog (use wiki or other google search). Create a chart that compares the two with regard to their niche or their lifestyle that may explain how these two native frogs have evolved to coexist in the same ecosystem.

Muro-ami is a fishing method where the fishes are driven out of a coral reef by pounding the corals with a heavy weight, or simply by breaking the corals. Then the fishes are guided into the nearby fishnets. - Is Muro-ami illegal? Why?- Cite at least two ways by which the different sectors of the society can help in the protection and conservation of fishes.
