Lean mice (+/+) were reared so they had microbe-free guts. Two groups of lean mice were injected, one with fecal material from obese mice (ob / o * b) and the other with fecal material from other lean mice. Both groups of mice were fed the same food. Their food intake and their gain in body weight were measured. This study is an example of which kind(s) of scientific method used in ecology?
Natural history
Systems modeling Molecular genetics
Experimentation
Descriptive observation
Two different species of organisms are closely related. This means:
O They have the same parents.
O They have a common ancestor.
O They eat similar foods.
O They live in the same habitat.

- Read this quote from Charles Darwin (from Origin of Species). What is he describing? "Thus, I can understand how a flower and a bee might slowly become, either simultaneously or one after the other, modified and adapted to each other in the most perfect manner, by the continued preservation of all the individuals which presented slight deviations of structure mutually favorable to one another." An interaction network. A predator/prey cycle. O Coevolution. An obligate mutualism.arrow_forwardWhat do ecologists study?

- You are studying two new species that have a mutualistic relationship. How would you determine if the mutualism is facultative or obligate? What types of observational data would you collect and what type of experiment would you conduct?arrow_forwardTopic: NATURAL SELECTION ACTIVITY Simulate a case of natural selection in a predator-prey situation. STEP 1 Gather your materials. You should have: . 1 fork, 1 knife, 1 spoon, and a length of tape (each will be used toestablish the distinct predator "feeding apparatuses")· 4 cups (each will serve as a distinct predator's "mouth")· 3 types of prey (such as popcorn, macaroni, and kidney beans)· 1 clearly delineated habitat (such as a table, a box, or a roped-off areaof ground). 1 timer that allows for counting by seconds (such as a watch or cellphone) STEP 2 Set up the predators. There is variation in predatory feeding apparatuses in this population. You will choose one of the available predator feeding apparatuses: fork, spoon, knife, or four fingers (with your thumb taped to your hand so that you cannot use it). You will also take a cup, which will represent the predator's mouth. Your goal will be to use your feeding apparatus to collect food and put it inyour mouth.

- Examine the titles of the following sample journal articles. For each title, decide if you think the goal of the research is to: a.describe a cause-and-effect relationship b.describe a pattern, measurement, or observation in nature c.describe a scientific model d.describe a tool or process for scientific research e.something else Journal article titles: The impact of food and predation on the rise and fall of population sizes of snowshoe hare Two species competing for a limited resource cannot coexist How competition from other species and other factors affect where a barnacle species lives The interaction of drought and habitat explain patterns of where and when saguaro cactus plants grow Development of a new method for assessing the amount of disturbance in salt marsh ecosystems The make-up of the microbial community in the leaves of pitcher plants is affected more by the types of predators than the number of predator species.arrow_forwardAfter graduating with his PhD, Bob Paine went to the Scripps Institute of Oceanography. At the time there was a debate in the field of ecology about conducting research. What were the different schools of thought about ecological research at this time? CLICK ALL THAT APPLY. That ecological studies should use the scientific method of experimentation and use of controls. In other words, to test a hypothesis you need to conduct experiments where you change something in one sample, and in another control there is no change so that you can compare the two and see if you detect a difference between the two. That ecological studies should use focus mainly on one trophic level at a time. That ecological research should be limited to laboratory experiments. That ecological research should be based on observation, description and measurement.arrow_forwardHelppparrow_forward
