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?
BIO 315 Week 1 DQ 2

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?
BIO 315 Week 1 Individual Assignment

Beren Robinson Field Study Paper

Resources: Field Study by Beren Robinson in Ch. 5 of Elements of Ecology

Write 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:
BIO 315 Week 2 DQ 1

What is intraspecific competition? What are some examples of how the limited
quantity of resources affects intraspecific completion? How does intraspecific
competition affect species distribution and their evolution?
BIO 315 Week 2 DQ 2

Differentiation or complementary experiments explain aspects of evolutionary theory?
BIO 315 Week 2 DQ 3

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 predatorprey
populations?

Environment, Resources, and Competition

Resources: University of Phoenix Materials: Temperature and Precipitation,

Intraspecific Competition, and Interspecific Competition located on your student
website

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.
BIO 315 Week 3 DQ 1

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

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?
BIO 315 Week 3 DQ 3

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?
BIO 315 Week 3 DQ 4

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?

Yeast Culture Lab

Resources: University of Phoenix Materials: Lab Report Outline, Yeast Lab

Worksheet, and Yeast Lab Spreadsheet located on your student website
Review the Yeast Lab Worksheet. It contains images of four yeast samples that were
observed at 0, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours.

Ecosystem Stability
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?
BIO 315 Week 4 DQ 1

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?
BIO 315 Week 4 DQ 2

How does climate influence a biome? What are some of the factors that determine an
areas biome? Why do ecologists study the transitional zones between biomes?
BIO 315 Week 4 DQ 3

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?
BIO 315 Week 4 DQ 4

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?
BIO 315 Week 4 Learning Team

Assignment Ecosystem WebQuest and
Presentation

Resource: Ecosystem Web Quest located on your student website
Select an ecosystem to examine. Obtain faculty approval for your ecosystem.
Navigate the Ecosystem Web Quest and answer the questions located within it.

Estuary Project Paper

Resource: The San Francisco Estuary Project website
Read the Introduction to the San Francisco Estuary Project Comprehensive
Conservation and Management Plan found on the San Francisco Estuary Projects
(SFEP) website at http://sfep.abag.ca.gov
Select the Publications link on the left-hand side of the site.

Case Study Review and Discussion
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 understandingthe
site.
