Explain the following:
-
Identify behaviors as being proximate or ultimate
How does a bird know where to migrate
How do altruistic behaviors arise through natural selection
Why are behaviors influenced by natural selection
Differentiate between population, community and ecosystem
What two factors are most significant in influencing global terrestrial climates
Analyze temperature and precipitation graphs
What biomes have the greatest biodiversity
What factors limit primary productivity
Determine what type of survivorship curve is expected for different organisms
What are some factors that may affect the mark and recapture method results
How will you measure population density of bats? Trees?
Interpret exponential and logistic graphs
How will the carrying capacity affect a populations growth
Lots of experimental data analysis
Compare age structure graphs and population growth
Identify various type of symbiosis examples and whether +/-/0
How do fundamental and realized niches compare
Identify various defenses: cryptic, mimicry, warning coloration
Compare community biodiversity
Why are invasive species so problematic
Compare diversity of large/small islands near/far mainland
Analyze food webs
Compare NPP of various ecosystems provided graph
Compare efficiencies of various trophic levels and apply the 10% rule using provided data
Compare energy, biomass, number pyramids; what are they similar?
How do microbes cycle nitrogen
Calculations:
Productivity efficiencies using provided data
Light/dark bottle to determine : NPP=GPP-R
Exponential and logistic population growth
Population growth rates
Mark and recapture
Gross Carbon fixation
