Question
Chapter 40, Problem 8TYU
Summary Introduction
To discuss:
How evolutionary history and ecological factors affect the distribution of species.
Concept introduction:
Earth was not always the way we see it today. Over billions of years, the differing environmental conditions (like early Earth atmosphere, ice age and more), evolution, continental drift, extinction and many more, have shaped the face of Earth. Thus, to survive and reproduce, different species have moved around to find suitable niches on land as well as water and adapted to the new ecological factors.

- Ecology and Biology: Shannon Diversity Index: Definition & Example The Shannon Diversity Index (sometimes called the Shannon-Wiener Index) is a way to measure the diversity of species in a community. Denoted as H, this index is calculated as: H = -Σpi * ln(pi) where: Σ: A Greek symbol that means “sum” ln: Natural log pi: The proportion of the entire community made up of species i The higher the value of H, the higher the diversity of species in a particular community. The lower the value of H, the lower the diversity. A value of H = 0 indicates a community that only has one species. The Shannon Equitability Index is a way to measure the evenness of species in a community. The term “evenness” simply refers to how similar the abundances of different species are in the community. Denoted as EH, this index is calculated as: EH = H / ln(S) where: H: The Shannon Diversity Index S: The total number of unique species What is the Shannon diversity index value for this community?

- CA least tern ENDANGERED ANIMAL is CA least tern questionbases on the bird CA least term Reasons for Endangerment Explain the various factors that have led to this species’ current plight. Expand on these points individually, based on your species’ unique story. Domino Effects As we’ve learned, species are not islands unto themselves; they are integrated with many other organisms in trophic relationships, mutualisms, competition, etc. How is the absence of this species (or its lowered population size) likely to impact the other members of its habitat? (If findings specific to this point are available, please include them – otherwise, I’m asking you to speculate based on what you’ve learned about the biology of this organism.) Conservation Efforts Discuss past, current, and proposed efforts to conserve this species. Are these strategies effective? Are they realistic? What is the outlook for this organism?arrow_forward5.4arrow_forwardExplain Coevolution and Diversification of speciesarrow_forward

List and count any fauna found at the locations (either inside or outside the quadrats). 1. How far should you record and observe any fauna encountered outside the quadrat? Why do you think it is not necessary to note the distance for faunal observation outside the quadrat?arrow_forward
