SBI3U1 Evolution Unit: 1. Describe factors that can cause environmental change:
WRITE ABOUT A THEME: INTERACTIONS One factorfavoring rapid population growth by an introduced speciesis the absence of the predators, parasites, and pathogens thatcontrolled its population in the region where it evolved. In ashort essay (100–150 words), explain how evolution by naturalselection in a region of introduction would influence the rateat which native predators, parasites, and pathogens attack anintroduced species.
Based on the interaction between species A and species B in the previous question, choose the most likely combination of alpha and beta coefficients.a. alpha = 1, beta = 10b. alpha = 10, beta = 1c. alpha = 1, beta = 1d. alpha = 0, beta = 1Previous questionTwo species of aquatic snails live in a nearby creek. Species A is a very strong competitor of Species B, who is a weak competitor. What do you expect will happen to the realized niche of Species B if both species share the same fundamental niche? IT decreases
After completing GVL OER modules - Terrestrial Biomes and Aquatic Biomes, compare and contrast either one of the following: two terrestrial biomes or two aquatic biomes. Include details about nutrients, climate, abundance of organisms, the diversity of each system, and their importance to the global community. Please indicate two sources of reference.
Please answer the folllowing: a) On a single graph, draw 2 survivorship curves: (a) an r-selected species, and (b) a K-selected species. Indicate whether these are type I, II, or III. b) Draw a graph of the equilibrium model of island biogeography, with number of species on the x-axis and rate of immigration and extinction on the y-axis. Label all your lines and indicate both the number of species present at equilibrium and the turnover rate at equilibrium.
Article readings: Why some animals are more important to ecosystem than others. From the article, list down all the species being described as keystone species and their negative effect when removed from their ecosystem. Define the ‘Keystone species concept” and differentiate it from “morphological species concept”. How does a keystone species plays its role in having a trophic cascade scenario? 1 sentence only.
Differentiate between climate change mitigation and adaptation. Bring at least 3 specific examples for each.
Please answer questions from 1 to 10 1) compare species diversity and genetic diversity 2) list several reasons to value biodiversity 3) how does the green house effect occur? 4) identify the primary causes of modern species extinction 5) describe how pesticides, such as DDT, undergo the process of biological magnification 6) choose a species that might be affected by global warming, and predict how that species might be affected 7) contrast conservation biology with restoration biology 8) explain why reserves protect biodiversity 9) explain causes and affects of acid rain 10) give an account of the factors that threaten biodiversity
Protecting biodiversity 1. Why are each of these types of species often targeted in conservation efforts? (Don’t just define theterms, actually explain “why” biologists might focus on these species!)a. Flagship -b. Keystone -c. Indicator -d. Umbrella - 2. Identify the major concerns associated with captive breeding programs. Are there ways some of theseconcerns can be minimized? 3. Consider 2 isolated chaparral preserves in San Diego. If a functional wildlife corridor was added toconnect these together, what benefits would we expect to see (with respect to plant AND animal life)?
