Document Summary
Objectives: understand that events in the world are interconnected, be able to define ecology, describe how scientists study ecology. Two types of connections in nature give example of each. What is the primary job of an ecologist. Think about how human interaction has occurred on land, air, ocean and the introduction of species and how these have impact on the world. How can use of fertilizer contributed even more to amphibian deformities/decline: draw simple flowchart showing this phenomenon. Starting with increased use of fertilizer to the increase in deformities and death rate in amphibians. Show graph of surviving frogs that had deformities and tadpoles surviving to metamorphosis when treated with various number of parasites per tadpole. What is the problem it ties to address. Levels of organization (6) difference between each. Scientific study of how organisms affect and are affected by others organisms and their environment. Case study amphibians high incidence of deformities and decline in population.
