  2. BIO 315 Course Tutorial BIO 315 Entire Course BIO 315 Week 1 Assignment Beren Robinson Field • 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 • BIO 315 Week 2 DQ 3 • BIO 315 Week 2 Learning Team Exercises • BIO 315 Week 2 Environment, Resources, and Competition • 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:·Research questions of study ·Hypotheses ·Variables in study

  3. BIO 315 Course Tutorial 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 Course Tutorial 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 • differentiation or complementary experiments explain aspects of evolutionary theory?

  5. BIO 315 Course Tutorial BIO 315 Week 2 DQ 3 BIO 315 Week 2 Environment • 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? • 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.

  6. BIO 315 Course Tutorial BIO 315 Week 3 DQ 1 BIO 315 Week 3 DQ 2 • What are some ways ecologists define populations? What are some of the factors that regulate populations? What challenges do ecologists encounter when studying populations? • 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?

  7. BIO 315 Course Tutorial BIO 315 Week 3 DQ 3 BIO 315 Week 3 DQ 4 • 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 • 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?

  8. BIO 315 Course Tutorial BIO 315 Week 3 Individual Assignment Yeast Culture Lab BIO 315 Week 3 Learning Team Exercises • 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. • 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?·How are the results different?·In what situation would an ecosystem be unaffected by the removal of producer or consumer?

  9. BIO 315 Course Tutorial BIO 315 Week 4 DQ 1 BIO 315 Week 4 DQ 2 • 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? • 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

  10. BIO 315 Course Tutorial BIO 315 Week 4 DQ 3 BIO 315 Week 4 DQ 4 • 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? • 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?

  11. BIO 315 Course Tutorial BIO 315 Week 4 Learning Team Assignment Ecosystem BIO 315 Week 5 Assignment Estuary Project Paper • 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. • 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.

  12. BIO 315 Course Tutorial BIO 315 Week 5 Learning Team Exercises • Case Study Review and DiscussionComplete the following:Read the field study in Ch. 20 of Elements of Ecology and discuss the questions at the end.Discuss any concept that a team member is having a difficult time understanding.
