At this time you will draft an eBook chapter about a species from your geographic location. You can choose any species of interest from your location. Your eBook chapter can be written in text or include media that you create (video, audio, image, etc.). Any images or quotes you use must be sourced / referenced. Include the following: 1. History of your species: - Background information: Photo, scientific name, habitat, range, food sources - Ancestry: design an informative phylogenetic tree with 3-4 branches related to significant morphological changes that shows how your organism evolved. 2. Classification of your species: - Using a chart, show each taxonomic category (Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species) for your species in relation to others. Give some examples of other species in each taxon group. You may use pictures. 3. Biodiversity and human impacts: - Biodiversity: What role does your species have in maintaining biodiversity? What are the implications of this species becoming endangered or extinct? What other species depend on this animal for survival? Are there any current threats to this species' survival? - Human impacts: How are humans impacting the survival of your species (positive and negative)? Create an action plan for maintaining the survival and health of your species. 4. Resources: - Be sure to include a list of the resources you used to complete your task. Task 2: Submit eBook for feedback Instructions: Put the first five chapters of your eBook together and submit them for feedback from the teacher. Be sure to review the rubric for the eBook culminating task. Chapters to include: 1. Introducing your geographical area 2. Dichotomous key 3. Ecosystem restoration 4. Bacteria or virus 5. Species When you are ready, submit your assessment for feedback by selecting the "Assignments" link and follow the submission directions..
