1.0 Introduction In ecology‚ a species-area curve is a relationship between the area of a habitat‚ or of part of a habitat‚ and the number of species found within that area. Larger areas tend to contain larger numbers of species‚ and empirically‚ the relative numbers seem to follow systematic mathematical relationships. The species-area relationship is usually constructed for a single type of organism‚ such as all vascular plants or all species of a specific trophic level within a particular

Topic: Invasive species are not like any other species; they create problems for native species and to the new environment they have been exposed to. Through taking resources or seeing native species as prey‚ they can disrupt the food web. This in the end can cause harm to other species because it takes away the resources and habitat of the native species. This can also end up affecting people in various ways. Rhesus monkeys for example are an invasive species that carry the herpes- B virus‚ which

Scripps may want to take the necessary steps to consider hybrid technology. With the addition of a hybrid suite Scripps can secure a foothold in a shifting medical model of providing excellent multi-modal care in one visit. With a shift to minimally invasive surgery it is paramount to consider a hybrid in the early stages so that the competence level of the surgeon and staff are equal to or better than that of the community. If Scripps does not embrace this new type of surgical suite it may lose a valuable
