Marko Kolundzija - 214162898 SLE103 – Ecology and the Enviroment Tutor - Claire Binek   Introduction Ecosystem is a biological community of living organisms/biotic components (plants & animals) and non-living/abiotic elements (sunlight, soil, air & water) within a specific area, together forming a complex system in which they interact and adversely affect & depend on each other in one form or another (food chain, mineral recycling, trophic flow). It’s extremely important to study ecosystems not only

The Effectiveness of Virtual Media In the world of learning nowadays, there are many ways to acquire knowledge other than schools and teachers. Learning an instrument can take place beyond the traditional classroom setting. As technology improves over the years, learning can take place not only in a teacher to students setting but also from a vast amount of resources on the internet and digital media. During the course of ten weeks, I used various online resources to learn how to play the piano

flush appearance of its host, Quercus robur. Insects are more capable of advancing their lifecycle to the changes in their host this was reported by Both et al., (2009) in his long term experiment in European mixed wood land comprising four trophic levels viz., oak, oak moth, song bird and hawk. The generalist pollinators are keeping pace with climate indued changes in the flowering phenology of plants (Bartomeus et al., 2011). In a bitrophic interaction, host parasitoid interaction under elevated

2013; Loh et al. 2015) resulting decline in coral cover and juvenile coral (Rasher et al 2013; Casey et al 2015). However, most of those research were conducted in region where confounding factors persists such as fishing pressure across many trophic levels (predator, herbivore, planktivore), pollution, and terrestrial run-off. Eventhough some research were conducted in the nearly pristine area, such as Dulvy (2004) in Lau Island Fiji with human population densities ranging between two and 42 people

Nominal Scale Nominal scale is also known as labels. It is most commonly used for labelling variables without any quantitative values assigned to it. In this classification of data is done without any measurement. Example: We can understand the nominal scale in more detail with below example: A normal question asked to a boy that what is the colour of his hairs and below options are given to him. a.) Black b.) Brown c.) Gray d.) Blonde e.) Other If you notice in above example all the mentioned

Introduction 1. Create a food web to analyze the importance of each organism within the web. 2. Describe the human impact on natural resources and an ecosystem. 3. Interpret ecological pyramids from data. 4. Explain the effect of limiting factors on population growth. 5. Describe the pattern of succession that follows an environmental disturbance. 6. Define and describe the interactions between species and their affect on the stability of an ecosystem. 7. Evaluate the effect of non-native/invasive

Assignment One Question One Statistics used to describe, or descriptive statistics, are single numbers that describe a sample of data (Kiess & Green, 2010, p. 7). Descriptive statistics merely describe what the data consists of (Trochim, 2006). Several frequently used descriptive statistics are the mean, median, and mode (Kiess & Green, 2010, p. 7). Descriptive statistics are used when it is necessary to relay large amounts of quantitative data in a simple, understandable way (Trochim, 2006). However

ITECH 5500 Professional Research and Communication Assignment 1 Answer 1. As described in the question store summarized this data into single score by multiplying the number of responses by number assigned. With this procedure, they got mean value of 3.19. Which lies between the 3-unsure and 4-agree. With which store manager will conclude that response is mild agreement or small unsure. This is not correct interpretation of data. As this argument relies on assumption that psychological distance between

exponentially, the topic of environmental sustainability is being debated with increased urgency. In the past few years, many large-scale environmental issues have emerged due to human activities: climate change, air and water pollution, rising sea levels, habitat loss, species extinction, and worsening natural disasters are all becoming more and more prevalent. But perhaps our most immediate concern should be whether or not we will be able to continue feeding this ever-increasing population. While
