The study of ecology encompasses levels of organization. Which is the correct order of individual organisms Group of answer choices ecosystem, community, population, organism organism, population, community, ecosystem community, population, organism, ecosystem population, organism, ecosystem, community
In this class, we have discussed how populations form communities to create ecosystems and learn that comparing different communities could be done simply by determining species richness or species diversity. But to fully explore an ecosystem, we have to discuss the major components of its biodiversity. What are the major components of biodiversity and what is the importance of biodiversity?
A researcher investigating how pesticides and water temperature impact the density of phytoplankton in freshwater lakes is primarily focused on ____________ ecology. Group of answer choices A. community B. ecosystem C. biosphere D. population E. organismal
Why are models useful to understand ecological systems? Group of answer choices They allow for investigation of scenarios that do not currently exist They can be manipulated They are simplified representations of ecological systems
Which one of the following statements is FALSE? Beta diversity is low when two ecosystems share the similar species and respective abundance. An intelligent meander records date, time, location and a list of species. Beta diversity or differentiation diversity compares alpha diversity among several communities. Species richness is the total species abundance in an ecosystem. Inventory diversity can be defined by alpha diversity, which is the number of species in a local forest stand.
Why are studies of ecosystems more inclusive than studies of populations?
Which of the following methods will provide information to an ecologist about both the size and density of a population? a. mark and recapture b. mark and release c. quadrat d. life table
Which community would be expected to have the highest species richness? Group of answer choices A community that inhabits a small geographic area near the poles. A community that inhabits a small geographic area near the equator. A community that inhabits a large geographic area area near the poles. A community that inhabits a large geographic area near the equator.
Another ecologist reported a diversity index value of 1.511 in a different community nearby the one you studied. This community is _ diverse than the one you calculated. Please see the attached image to get a better grasp of the question. How to Calculate Biodiversity and Ecology College Biology 2 Advanced Concepts Background Information In the Shannon index, p is the proportion (n/N) of individuals of one particular species found (n) divided by the total number of individuals found (N), ln is the natural log, Σ is the sum of the calculations, and s is the number of species... Species Evenness Species evenness takes into account the number of species and the relative abundance of species in a community. Several indices have been proposed. Two of the commonly used measures of evenness are the Shannon index (H) and the Simpson index (D). Question 2: What is the Shannon diversity index value for this community? What is the species evenness for this community?
