Ecology and Evolution Crystal Dillon-Reeves BIO/315 April 1‚ 2013 Howard Rubin‚ Ph.D. Ecology and Evolution Beren Robinson performed remarkable field study of threespine sticklebacks. These fish closely relate to ecology and evolution. The researchers original findings are different than that of Robinson’s field study. His hypothesis states that the threespine sticklebacks varied phenotypes are the handiwork of natural selection supporting the discrepancy in the population. Diet and the

Ethics of ecology focuses on sustaining business and environment. Ethics is a set of principles about right and wrong and how human beings should behave. Ecology is about inter- relationships – between living organisms (both plants & animals) and between biological & physical entities. As people now realise that the environment is a limited resource‚ awareness all over the world of the necessity to protect and save the environment has grown as well. From the Bill of Rights‚ Chapter 2‚ of the S.A

Ecology Of Crime There are many patterns in the crime rate that seem to be linked to temporal and ecological factors. Crimes usually happen more often‚ and‚ or more less according to the day‚ season‚ climate‚ temperature‚ population density‚ and region. For example‚ a person is more likely to be assaulted at midnight when the temperature exceeds 90 degrees than when to temperature is 10 degrees below zero. Therefore‚ a criminal is more likely to commit a crime when the time of day‚ season‚ and

BUSINESS AND ECOLOGY Businesses damage the environment when they take natural resources from the Earth and dispose of waste. All of this is done within the natural environment‚ a kind of ecological system or “ecosystem.” THE DIMENSION OF ECOLOGICAL PROBLEM Ecological Problems: These are the some of the environmental issues we face today: 1. Non-stop illegal mining. 2. Air pollution contaminates the air‚ despoils vegetation and crops‚ corrodes construction materials‚ and threatens our lives

Ecology Lab Report 4/17/12 Abstract Sampling Stomatal Densities of Various Species of Plants The importance of stomata is the fact that they control the intake of carbon dioxide and the loss of water in plants. The ratio of intake to loss creates a better picture of which plants adapt would to their environment and which would not. Eight different plant species were sampled the stomatal densities and compared them to their environments. The densities were recorded for each species
