Ecology

I'm working on a ecology question and need an explanation to help me study. - The video used is in this link: https://youtu.be/Y5uRVv7GGQM1:25: Number of Plant Species vs. Pollinator Species 1:51: Evolution of Bees from Wasps 2:00: Pollinator Networks 2:20: Specialists 2:30: Generalists 3:00: Nested Network 3:45: Modular Network - Draw a chart or SIMPLE to understand graph/chart/diagram/etc of a nested pollination network! Don't make it too advanced because then I won't understand and nobody else will either.- A short…

Discussion: Protecting Biodiversity In Module 2 you learned about the history of mass extinctions on Earth and the threat of global climate change. You also explored ways that economic growth can both help and harm Earth’s biodiversity. In this module we learn more about economic principles: how they apply in the natural world, and how they drive some of the positive and negative effects of economic growth on biodiversity. For this discussion, read the following articles: Hearts and minds: Stopping…

You have been hired by the Hawai‘i Division of Forestry and Wildlife for a brand new position to coordinate native forest ecosystem migration to suitable habitat at higher elevations, to assist Hawaiian forest ecosystems in adapting to climate change. I have attached the file for the coursebook. There need to be at least 40 definitions from the book that tie back to the case study within the study. It seems like a long book but the end material is what…

Module 3 - SLP EFFICIENCY AND ADAPTATION All organisms within an ecosystem participate in relationships with other organisms. Some relationships benefit the organisms and are essential for both species to survive. Others are detrimental (negative) to one organism, but critical for the other organism. Symbiosis and mutualism are not the same thing! Symbiosis is defined as any long-term relationship between two or more species. Mutualism is a type of symbiosis. Two other types of symbiosis found in ecosystems are commensalism…

Module 3 - Case EFFICIENCY AND ADAPTATION Assignment Overview As we begin to consider some parallels between the business world and the natural world, we can identify some very similar patterns in extinction, adaptation, and supply and demand in both. For example, an organism faces many challenges as it attempts to survive in the natural world, just as a business will struggle to succeed in the marketplace. When resources in the environment are limited, like consumers in the marketplace, organisms…

Discussion: Extinctions and Endangered Species In this module’s discussion, we will learn about the economic and ecological impact of habitat loss on the island country of Micronesia. The Federated States of Micronesia is a country spread across the western Pacific Ocean comprising over 600 islands. Micronesia is made up of 4 island states: Pohnpei, Kosrae, Chuuk and Yap. Watch the following video link about climate changes in Micronesia: http://www.pbslearningmedia.org/asset/prcc12_vid_mctprob1/ As you watch the video, focus on how life has changed…

For lab report 2, you will be determining whether there are differences in habitat types for a number of community measures. The three habitat types are: 1) rock 2) sand 3) tide pool The images were taken earlier this fall by our TA Jessica while in Alaska. See Habitat pics in Moodle for the images you will use. In each folder you will find one pic of the entire square quadrat (area in which you sample data) and multiple close-ups…
