Simpson Evenness

Another major impact to Morialta Conservation Park is fires. Fires are very dangerous in areas like these as they can permanently damage the plants and drive animals away from their homes. Morialta manages this by closing the park on days with ‘Catastrophic Fire Danger’ and sometimes on ‘Extreme Fire Danger’. They also prohibit the use of wood fires and solid fuel fires. I believe this is the best way to protect visitors from fires, so I have no further suggestions.

The undersigned detective interviewed Ms. Terry Jarrett (Psychiatrist). Ms. Jarrett stated that Mr. Simpson has been a patient at the clinic since 9/03/2014. Ms. Jarrett stated that Mr. Simpson's suffering from intellectual deficiency, and he thinks much younger than his appearance. Mr. Simpson has no one caring for him at home and play with children in the neighborhood. Ms. Jarrett stated that Mr. Simpson is psychotic and "very non compliance" to his treatment.

The purpose of this experiment is to observe secondary succession at Umass Dartmouth and test the prediction that diversity increases through ecological succession. Students went outside to the lawn underneath the wind mill on campus. 3 transect sites were located by the instructor. Students predicted the species and percent cover of each species on each trail site. Bar charts were made to compare the number of species in each transect. Pi-charts were made to compare the percent coverage of species in each transect.

larger vegetation zones to the way we should understand the ecology of the land scape.

In our experiment of field ecology at A-mountain, the purpose were to understand the specific factors that affect the distribution and abundance of plant species at north facing slope and south facing slope. The availability of plants in certain area depends on temperature, availability of water, sunlight and nutrients. A-mountain which is in Arizona has different desert plant that includes; grass, brittlebush, bursage, creosote bush, mesquite, palo verde, fishhook barrel, hedgehog, pincushion, teddy bear cholla, staghorn cholla, chain fruit cholla, prickly pear and others.. and some are specifically found on either north or south side of the mountain. The fact that the south slope receive more direct sunlight than the north facing slope, soil moisture will evaporate faster in south side of the mountain than in the north side thus the availability of different drought resisting plant whereas in north side where there is a slower evaporation due to lack of direct sunlight hence few drought resistant plants compared to south side (Wyant, unpublished data). We predicted that to the south side of the mountain there be will more diversity, evenness and drought tolerant plants species than the north side.

In Idlewood, the open area was the second to least populous and had the least number of different species. While Tyler State park’s open area has the second to most diverse and populous recorded number of birds. The open area in Idlewood included a grassy field that was cultivated by humans for recreational reasons, but the open area in Tyler State Park included a farmland and the shrubs alongside of it which is the cause for the difference in population and diversity among the two areas. All habitats have limited space because of their boundaries (which were established in the classroom and can be found in the Field Study) but some habitats, such as the young forest, are able to provide more space for more species than other habitats, such as the wetlands. In regards to species diversity, Idlewood’s mature forest has the highest species diversity percentage at 8.52 because of the species: population ratio. Tyler State Park’s young forest has the highest species diversity percentage at 12.88 because it had a higher number of different species than the other

Throughout the semester we have been exploring art which characterizes race and identity throughout the lineage of American art. Lorna Simpson, born in Brooklyn, New York in 1960, is a minority artist by her race, African American, and gender, female. She uses Western and African art traditions to express her worldview using various media, especially photography. While many artists seek to portray a message, the art of Lorna Simpson reflects a strong sense of race and identity through representations of identity shifts and struggles that force the viewer to think and question societal standards.

4. What was the Simpson’s Index of Diversity for your sample? Does this indicate a low or high level of diversity?

It is unclear the type of precipitation, but it is projected to be rain more that heavy snow. Because these shrubs are close to the ground, they benefit from the snow because it interacts with their leaves to insulate the plant as a kind of blanket protecting it from being trampled or subject to frostbite (Buchner et al. 2013). Lastly, it is unclear whether increased precipitation would actually benefit these plants because of the effects of extreme precipitation such as flooding and soil erosion that may impact the ecosystem in which these plants grow. We hypothesize that these plants will likely struggle to survive because they continue to migrate north to cooler temperatures, but those many soon be disappearing as

The investigation of this claim was done in the examination of the different types of vegetation with in serpentine soils in California. They studied the climatic correlations and geographical correlations to gain a better understanding of what they were dealing with. The main results included that the diversity of plants widespread to serpentine declined from the north to the south and from the coast inland. Meaning that while there may be many different ranges of this soil that does not mean that the plants living on it are diverse. There was also an association with the amount of rainfall. Most of these overall trends where seen to be true to all the plant groups. Overall they were able to conclude that the “patchiness” in the different habitats do not appear to increase diversity. In the end this journal leads me to the interpretation that while there are many of these environments spread out through California, they are all very similar to each other lacking in overall

The story, ‘“Approximations” by Mona Simpson expresses the idea that every parent often want to see their children succeed in life, but sometimes the idea gets carried away that many of the parents want their children to stand out and be the best at a sport or have a special talent and be successful in life and tend to forget about their children's own needs and feeling. This is because it makes them look like outstanding parents, and they often forget about what their children really want. In the story Melinda’s mother and father are divorced and she goes through life without her father most of the time and lives with her mother and her mother’s boyfriend Jerry. Melinda’s mother makes her do ice skating but she is so wrapped up with

The trial process began a few months later, on January 24, 1995. The prosecution consisted of Marcia Clark and Christopher Darden (Linder, 2000). While, the defense team, called the "dream team," included Robert Shapiro, F. Lee Bailey, Johnnie Cochran, Alan Dershowitz, and Barry Scheck. The judge was Lance Ito and the jury consisted of 9 African-Americans, 1 Hispanic, and 2 Caucasians (Linder, 2000). Ten of them being women and only 2 were men.

Identify key assumptions that Susan Dubin likely had about the role she would have when she signed on as HR Director at the Danone Simpson Agency. These assumptions might be around “what” the role would entail as well as “how” she should go about it. (1 pg approx.)

After I carried out the entire investigation, I got the results showing biodiversity of two different ecosystems trough Simpson`s reciprocal index showed in graph 3. If we look generally on biodiversity index of both ecosystems, in both cases it is higher than 1, meaning that biodiversity index is not low. As the maximum value is equal to the number of species in the sample, we can say that in case of meadow, biodiversity is optimal, at medium
