Document Summary

Barren strait the land bridge which existed roughly 15,000 years ago . 18000 years ago, global sea levels were at a 125 metre difference. From this time, a lot of change in the costal environments has emerged. Coldest temperatures climate that the earth has seen in a very long time. Tells us the context in which early occupants of america arrived. There is very early evidence, human remains and extinct species, stones/arrow heads embedded with animals. Important part of their adaptation has to do with large social herbivores. Have to gather intellect about animals, their habits in order to learn how to control them as a resource. 2 main problems: material right access to the right materials at the right time. Environment changing very fast because of de-glaciation rising. What they had been doing doesn"t work anymore, have to start living on something else putting significant restraints on what you do.

Please Help. Thank you very much.

Ecology is the study of how organisms interact with their environment. Thus, a central question in ecology concerns how organisms respond to environmental variation. The flip side of this question is to ask whether the variation in characteristics of organisms is the result of variation in features of the environment. This variation can occur in space or through time.

1. Make a list of all the environmental variables that you can think of that are likely to be important to organisms. Think about plants and microbes as well as animals.

1A. One environmental change of great concern to us is climate change, specifically the prospect of human-caused global warming, a topic to which we will return. How do organisms respond to this spatial and temporal variability in the environment?

1, In what kind of micro environments would we find bacteria andarchaea?

(I think this is a trick question? Int it that Bacteria and Archaeacan be found in all sorts of environments even ones that we wouldthink impossible or to extreme for the survival of life? Forexample around hydro thermal vents in the ocean? Or in the mostcoldest of places? Or is there a specific "micro environment"required for bacteria and archaea to survive?)

2. What are the unique characteristics of fungi? Why are theyimportant?

3.Why are there so many animals?

(This also seems very broad of a question to me. I want to say thatthere are so many different animals because of evolution and theadaptation of organisms over a wide variety of differentenvironments, but at the same time I'm not sure if that is a goodenough explanation for such a big question. I guess I'm justlooking for the best way to explain this and I'm not sure if myexplanations are enough. What am I missing?)
