  2. BIO 315 UOP Course Material BIO 315 Entire Course BIO 315 Week 1 Assignment Beren Robinson Field Study Paper • BIO 315 Week 1 DQ 1 • BIO 315 Week 1 DQ 2 • BIO 315 Week 1 Assignment Beren Robinson Field Study Paper • BIO 315 Week 2 DQ 1 • BIO 315 Week 2 DQ 2 • Resources: Field Study by Beren Robinson in Ch. 5 of Elements of EcologyWrite a 700- to 1,050-word paper explaining the important aspects of the study and how they relate to ecology and evolution.Describe original observations of researchers.Describe the study in detail:

  3. BIO 315 UOP Course Material BIO 315 Week 1 DQ 1 BIO 315 Week 1 DQ 2 • What is your personal definition of ecology? How do the definitions of ecology presented by Essentials of Ecology and the one proposed by Ernst Haeckel vary? Which of these previous definitions of ecology do you agree with and why? • What is the difference between evolution and natural selection? What factors make the Galapagos Islands such a fertile ground for observing evolution and natural selection? What are some other sites that you might propose to observe evolution and natural selection in action?

  4. BIO 315 UOP Course Material BIO 315 Week 2 DQ 1 BIO 315 Week 2 DQ 2 • What is intraspecific competition? What are some examples of how the limited quantity of resources affect intraspecific completion? How does intraspecific competition affect species distribution and their evolution? • Define the terms fundamental niche and realized niche. How does competition relate to George Evelyn Hutchinson’s concept of niches? How can niche differentiation or complementary experiments explain aspects of evolutionary theory?

  5. BIO 315 UOP Course Material BIO 315 Week 2 DQ 3 BIO 315 Week 2 Environment, Resources, and Competition • Describe the three main types of predator defined in ecology. How does an understanding of fitness, abundance, and foraging behavior help us understand predation? How does environmental patchiness or fragmentation affect predator–prey populations? • Resources: University of Phoenix Materials: Temperature and Precipitation, Intraspecific Competition, and Interspecific Competition located on your student websiteImagine you are an ecologist studying ecosystems.

  6. BIO 315 UOP Course Material BIO 315 Week 2 Learning Team Exercises BIO 315 Week 3 DQ 1 • Complete the following:After reading Ch. 1 of Essentials of Ecology, create an outline of the main interactions that happen between organisms, populations, and communities in an assigned ecosystem. Develop an outline and suggest additional interactions that might be important. • What are some ways ecologists define populations? What are some of the factors that regulate populations? What challenges do ecologists encounter when studying populations?

  7. BIO 315 UOP Course Material BIO 315 Week 3 DQ 2 BIO 315 Week 3 DQ 3 • What is demographic stochasticity? Why are small populations more susceptible to extinction from demographic stochasticity than larger populations? Why is demographic stochasticity important to biologists? • What is primary and secondary production? What are the limiting factors on primary production in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems? Why is it important for an ecologist to be able to understand the energy pathways through trophic levels?

  8. BIO 315 UOP Course Material BIO 315 Week 3 DQ 4 BIO 315 Week 3 Individual Assignment Yeast Culture Lab • What is a biogeochemical cycle? Describe how the hydrological cycle transports water through ecosystems. What are some examples of both benign and disruptive human contributions to biogeochemical cycles? • : • Resources: University of Phoenix Materials: Lab Report Outline, Yeast Lab Worksheet, and Yeast Lab Spreadsheet located on your student websiteReview the Yeast Lab Worksheet. It contains images of four yeast samples that were observed at 0, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours.

  9. BIO 315 UOP Course Material AED 222 Week 6 DQ 1 and DQ 2 AED 222 Week 7 Assignment Channeling Students into Special Services • After completing Reflective Exercise 4 found on p. 415 ofSpecial Education for Today’s Teachers, how much influence do you think IQ test scores should have in determining giftedness? What other factors should be part of the classification system? • Describe in 350 to 700 words which processes and procedures would be followed after the identification and how services would be planned.

  10. BIO 315 UOP Course Material BIO 315 Week 3 Learning Team Exercises BIO 315 Week 4 DQ 1 • Ecosystem Stability·Complete the following:Identify producers and consumers in your native biome and answer the following questions:·How would removing a producer affect that biome?·What if a consumer is removed? • Define the following terms: biome, mosaic, and patch. What role does scale play in the study of ecology? Why are aquatic ecosystems classified differently than terrestrial biomes?

  11. BIO 315 UOP Course Material BIO 315 Week 4 DQ 2 BIO 315 Week 4 DQ 3 • How does climate influence a biome? What are some of the factors that determine an area’s biome? Why do ecologists study the transitional zones between biomes? • What is the difference between species richness and diversity? What are some of the challenges in determining the species richness of a community? How can these challenges be overcome?

  12. BIO 315 UOP Course Material BIO 315 Week 4 DQ 4 BIO 315 Week 4 Learning Team Assignment • How do alien species affect ecosystems? How might alien plants and animals influence evolutionary differentiation? Why is understanding diversity and species richness so challenging for ecologists? • Resource: Ecosystem WebQuest located on your student websiteSelect an ecosystem to examine. Obtain faculty approval for your ecosystem.Navigate the Ecosystem WebQuest and answer the questions located within it.

  13. BIO 315 UOP Course Material BIO 315 Week 5 Assignment Estuary Project Paper BIO 315 Week 5 Learning Team Exercises • Resource: The San Francisco Estuary Project websiteRead the Introduction to the San Francisco Estuary Project Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan found on the San Francisco Estuary Project’s (SFEP) website at http://sfep.abag.ca.gov·Select the Publications link on the left-hand side of the site. • Examine the importance and applicability of this week’s concepts to each team member and to society in general.Post your team’s solutions from this exercise as a 150- to 200-word summary via the Assignments link. Briefly describe how this activity applied to the weekly concepts.
