Principles of Ecology Laboratory Final 2011 Study Guide Describing a Population Measuring variation (sample size, mean, median, standard deviation, variance, standard error) know the equations and how they are calculated Aquatics Lab What is kick sampling? Definition of a macro-invertebrate Name of creek in which we sampled K-S test for normality ANOVA Kruskal-Wallis Mayflies, Caddisflies, Stoneflies (larva of all three) Hay Infusion What is a hay infusion? Compounds used Kingdom of organisms found Bar graph vs. Line Graph (when to use which) Standard error bars (know when to use) Demography of Campus Trees Terms: demography, life history, cohort, class, fecundity Survivorship and survivorship curves What defines a pine tree, spruce and fir (differences between them) Population Genetics Terms: population, genome, chromosome, diploid, haploid, gametes, alleles, genotype and phenotype Homozygous vs. Heterozygous Dominant and recessive alleles Be able to calculate frequency of alleles and probabilities (pg. 135-142) Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium- How to calculate, violations and rules Know processes that change allele frequencies Other terms: genetic drift, directional selection, gene flow, mutation Estimating a population size Terms: immigration vs. emigration Mark-recapture method (pg. 53) Lincoln-Peterson Index 1 Field Trip Which mountain you visited Biomes visited during the trip Important flora and fauna observed Biodiversity What is biodiversity? Shannon Diversity Index- know terms in equation, what they mean, and what the diversity index measures (what does a low/high Shannon Index indicate?) Birds identified at Lowell Ponds (you do not need to know ALL, but what birds were the most common?) Species richness vs. species diversity Competition Intraspecific competition vs. interspecific competition De Wit diagram interpretation Species planted General appearance of species (be able to identify) Island Biogeography Who discovered the equilibrium theory of island biogeography? Equilibrium theory of island biogeography Species-area curve – interpretation and creation Succession Early succession vs. late succession species Types of disturbances Review handout Climate Change Data interpretation Overall climate trends (since 1880 and in the last decade) Appropriate X and Y-Axes Correlation General Peer reviewed sources APA format Sections of a scientific paper and what sort of information goes in each one Table legends Figure legends 2 3
