Topic: Soil Bacteria
Which habitat do you expect will have higher species diversity, urban creek or campus? Why?
Homework Answers
I think a campus will have a higher species diversity because it will have species of plants, birds, small animals etc. On the other hand, an urban creek will only have a few aquatic species.

Why does higher foliage volume result in higher warbler (bird) species diversity? Lower foliage volume provides fewer niches for keystone predators and leads to competitive exclusion Higher foliage volume allows for keystone predators to increase competitive exclusion Higher foliage volume provides more niches for coexisting species and reduces competitive exclusion Lower foliage volume increases habitat complexity which provides more niches for competing species

1.Which of the following statements about species-accumulation curves is TRUE? Only gamma diversity can be estimated using species-accumulation curves Species-accumulation curves are a technique to estimate alpha diversity of a relatively homogenous site Species richness will be estimated correctly using species-accumulation curves even if there are only a few samples The order in which samples are processed will not affect the precise shape of species-accumulation curve 2. Which of the following statements about beta diversity is TRUE? Beta diversity does...
