In this exercise we used global distributions of dinosaurs. How might the FADs and LADs differ if we focused on dinosaurs within

a certain region (e.g., North America, South America, etc)? What about if we used genus or species-levels instead of the suborder groups? Saurischian vs ornithischian? (

FAD's and LAD's would differ if we focused on dinosaurs within a certain region because of migratory patterns. Similarly, focusing on species levels would decrease the available data.

FADs or First appearance datum is a term used by scientists to refer to the first appearance of a species. Like-wise, LAD is used to refer to the last appearance of a species in the record.

If we were to focus on dinosaurs within a certain region, the FAD's and LAD's may be quite different. This is due to the migratory patterns of certain dinosaurs. Perhaps a certain species has a much more distant FAD or LAD in one region than it does in another because that dinosaur may have taken many years to wander to another region of the Earth.

Like-wise, limiting our search to a species level can impact the LAD or FADs. The taxonomy hierarchy is as follows:

  • species
  • genus
  • family
  • order
  • class
  • phylum
  • kingdom
  • domain

increasing in scope, Domain is the level that holds the highest variety of organisms. In contrast, species is the most specific, so limiting our data to a single species level would greatly affect the LADs and FADs because it lowers the number of dinosaur species that we take into account.

Ivahew [28]

Answer: True

Explanation: the theory of the island biogeography equilibrium modem describes that species have to get to a certain island from somewhere else which is the immigration part and other species have to migrate from the island as they run out of resources which is the extinction part. This theory shows that as the number of immigration increases and a new place is colonized the rate of extinction of species increases because there is more competition and limited resources for these species and vice versa.

Elden [556K]

Answer:

The scientists used this information to divide the planet into 24 sections or time zones. Each time zone is 15 degrees of longitude wide. ... As you move west from Greenwich, every 15-degree section or time zone is an hour earlier than GMT, while each time zone to the east is an hour later.
