Pro-forma financial statements can raise expectations about abusinessâs financial performance. If the actual performance doesnot meet those expectations, there can be negativeconsequences.

1. Should companies continue to publish pro-formainformation?

2. Should they be expected to publish pro-forma information?Why

*Comment: it seems like pro-forma information can be easilymanipulated because thereâs not much regulation; therefore, it isnot difficult for companies to abuse it and make earnings appear tobe something there not. I would like a different perspective on it.Most of my conclusions are that it does more harm than good.

1. The creation of phylogenetic trees from molecular data hasfacilitated the study of many questions in evolutionary biology.Describe one example of how having a phylogenetic tree has added toour understanding of either speciation or adaptation (note: forspeciation it is not sufficient to simply determine how species arerelated to each other). Be sure to compare how this question wouldbe studied in the absence of a robust phylogeny with what is gainedby having a phylogeny for the group.

2. One consequence of an expanding human population is thefragmentation of other species ranges. Describe the majorconsequences of habitat fragmentation in terms of populationgenetic variation and extinction probability. Contrast theconsequences of current habitat fragmentation with the vicarianceevents that occurred during the Pleistocene

The key to understanding the impact of climates on conflict is to explore the reciprocal influence of climate and interaction. Climate affects interaction, and interaction in turn defines and alters climate. Both sides of this relationship need close examination in order to understand the role climate plays in conflicts. Once we understand this better, we can posit some methods for creating productive climates and avoiding nonproductive ones.

In all interaction, and particularly in conflicts, one of the key problems parties face is their uncertainty about how to act and about what the consequences of their actions will be. Uncertainty is natural in conflict because many people are not as accustomed to conflict as they are to other sorts of interaction. Perhaps due to a cultural tendency toward avoiding or ignoring undesirable situations, many people simply do no think or learn much about conflicts. Even for those who are accustomed to conflict, every conflict presents specific problems and choices never faced before. Even if it is a dreary rehash of a long standing argument, each conflict holds the potential for change, for better or worse.
