Hypothetical scenario: In a vast area of a land-locked town, two distinct forest formations can be found – forest over limestone formation a lowland tropical forest. Researchers did an area-random sampling composed of 25 plots measuring 20mx20m for each of the two forest formations. Do you think the two forest formations have the same diversity index values and species richness? Why or why not?

INTRODUCTION: Quadrat sampling is a classic tool for the study of ecology, especially biodiversity. In general, a series of squares (quadrats) of a set size are placed in a habitat of interest and the species within those quadrats are identified and recorded. QUESTION: What are the advantages and disadvantages of a quadrat sampling method?
You're analyzing biodiversity on three islands: Island A, located near the equator with varied elevations; Island B, situated in temperate latitudes and relatively flat; Island C, another equatorial island but with a wide variety of habitats. To test your answers to the first question, you decide to survey the lizard species on the islands. Below is a graphical representation of a survey plot from each island, where icons represents different species and the abundance of each species is tallied in the table below. (note: these surveys may not represent the entire island patterns, so don’t use these to try to answer the first question!) A. What is the alpha diversity on each island? Island A Island B Island C B. What is the beta diversity between each island pair (A-B, A-C, B-C)? Beta diversity A-B Beta diversity A-C Beta diversity B-C C. Calculate the Shannon-Weiner index and Simpson’s index of diversity for each island. Island A Island B Island C D. What do these diversity…

Environments with low frequency and intensity of disturbance tend to have ________ species diversity because ______. Group of answer choices A) low; the best competitors exclude any other species B) high; disturbances kill off a large number of individuals C) low; there are fewer late-successional species than early-successional species D) high; more species can colonize over a longer period of time Question: Answer choice selection is either: Burkina Faso or Italy for all three answer choices
