Ecologists are interested in quantifying different kinds of biodiversity. In below study outlined here, which kind of biodiversi

ty are ecologists studying?
Ecologists establish 20 small areas, called plots, randomly scattered across a California grassland. They count the number of different plant species present in each plot. By noting how many species appear in the plots, the ecologists are able to estimate the number of species in the entire grassland.

a. Genetic diversity
b. Functional diversity
c. Ecosystem diversity
d. Species diversity

Answer:

d. Species diversity

Explanation:

The species diversity can be measured by:

  • Species richness: Refers to the number of species are inhabiting a defined area.
  • Species abundance: Describe the distribution of the species abundance.

Species richness is the number of species present in a sample, within a community, habitat or microhabitat, ecosystem, landscape, region or any well-defined spatial unit. It is a metric for measuring biodiversity which simplicity and easy interpretation make it a standard metric.  It is the simplest and straightforward measure of biodiversity. It is just a count of species, with no need for abundance data. In some cases, this can be the cause of criticism, as it ignores information about the species-abundance distribution.

A population of naked mole rats begins with 250 individuals in 2015. The population has a carrying capacity of 1,500 individuals
iogann1982 [59]

dN/dT = rK (K-N)/K

Here, K is carrying capacity

N = Population size

r = Intrinsic rate

dN/dT = 0.8*250 (1500-250)/1500

dN/dT = 166.66 that is equivalent to 167 animal in a year

Thus, in 2015, there would be 250 individuals and in 2016, there would be 260+167 = 417 animals.

Using ONLY information from the morphological cladogram shown below, which two organisms are most closely related?
lora16 [44]

Given what we know, we can confirm that the two organisms most closely related would be the human and the gorilla.

<h3>Why are the Gorilla and Human the most closely related?</h3>

Using only the information given from the diagram, we can say that gorillas and humans are the most closely related. Although the turtle and the chicken also share the same genetic similarities in the diagram, the human and the gorilla also share physical aspects between them, making them more related than the previous group.

Therefore, given that they share genetic and physical aspects, we can confirm that the two organisms most closely related would be the human and the gorilla.
