Ecology 107 Midterm: I hereby pledge that my answers on this exam are entirely my own, & I only used materials provided by Dr. Kilpatrick in the course. I understand that doing otherwise constitutes cheating. Name:_______________________ See equations on page 5. 1) The graphs below show the classic research I showed in class by Gause from 1934 were he examined competition between two species of Paramecium. He started each species off with 5 individuals of in flasks of media alone. He next measured the nutrient use of both species. He found that P. aurelia used 2/3 of the resource that limits P. caudatum populations (nitrogen), whereas P. caudatum used 1.0 times as much of the resource that limit P. aurelia populations (phosphorus) (the different resources limiting Pa and Pc makes competition asymmetric). a) Use this information to construct a “state-space” graph (below). Draw isoclines for the two species using different colors and label them by putting a box around the name with the color for that species (6 pts). Remember that an isocline is a line where the population growth rate, dN/dt, for that species is 0. The endpoints of the isocline for a hypothetical species 1 (competing with species 2) are K1 and K1/21. The competition coefficient 21 measures the impact (or conversion) of species 2 on (or into) species 1 in terms of the resources that limit species 1 (& vice versa for 12). What are the values of these parameters: (4 pts) Kpa= pcpa= Kpc= papc= b) If we start with 50 Pa and 100 Pc, what will happen? Trace the path of the two populations through the state-space graph: Put a point at 50 Pa and 100 Pc, and move in the appropriate direction based on the isoclines. If you encounter an isocline or one of the axes, re-assess the correct direction. If you reach the intersection of both lines stop (both species co-exist at equilibrium). If you reach an intersection of an axis and an isocline and the correct direction is to go off the graph into negative space, stop (one species has gone extinct while the other is at equilibrium). Kpc Kpa Kpc/ Kpc/ c) Put a second point at 250 Pa, 100 Pc and repeat the same process as in (b) until you stop again. (4 pts) d) (4 pts) Interpret these results biologically. Can these two species co-exist together or does one go extinct? Does it depend on the starting population sizes? e) At equilibrium, what are the abundances of the two species and which species is more abundant? (2 pts) f) You wanted to grow the two paramecium species as fast as possible to send paramecium to biology classes all across the world. At what density should you grow them, and how long would this take, starting at a density of 5 (see top figs)? Density Pa (1pt): Day Pa (1pt): Density Pc (1pt): Day Pc (1pt): g) What is the fastest rate you could sustainably harvest each species? Show your work! Maximum harvest Pa (2pts): Maximum harvest Pc (2pts): h) What is the maximum per capita population growth ra.

Do from last question to first as much as possible, has to be turned in before 12 midnight today, Sunday. Pacific Time ( Los Angeles ) ㅍUnit 1 Exam Essays (40 points) Do not delete any part of this document. (I need it all for grading purposes.) Format: This Word document is already formatted correctly for spacing, width, and font type and font size. I’ve placed three “returns” or blank lines after each question, so you can place your cursor at the second “return” and begin to type; this will keep you within the 6-in margins and in proper format. Do not bold or italicize your answers. Keep your answers left justified within the 6-inch text width and keep the single spacing. Do not indent your response. Points will be subtracted if I have to edit your document. It takes time to edit all your documents! Citing your textbook: For most answers, you’ll be using your textbook, so it is only necessary to cite it once at the bottom of the document, but you must include page numbers after each answer. If you are using an older edition, you must indicate this in the citation. For essay questions: You are graded for work completed on your own and using your own words. If you do choose to copy directly from your textbook, cite the page number and use quotation marks around copied sections. Failure to do so is plagiarism, which will result in a grade of zero. Use quotes sparingly, as they do not count toward your length requirement. I do not recommend finding your answers on the internet unless specified. It will lead to trouble. If you insist, please fully cite your references. How much to write: You know how in-depth you must be by looking at the number of points assigned for each question. Use this generalization: 58 – 68 words per point, depending on how concise you are; so a 3-point question requires around 175-200 words to answer fully; a 5-point question requires around 290- 330 words. That’s about one-half page of text or more in this format. Essay questions (17 points) 1. Describe the harmful and beneficial environmental effects of affluence. What are the harmful effects of poverty on the environment? In turn, what are the effects of environmental degradation on the health of the poor? (3 points) 2. What are the basic beliefs behind your environmental worldview? Are your actions consistent with your worldview? (2 points) (At the end of the semester, return to your answer to see if your worldview has changed.) Critical Thinking Essay on Energy Flow in Food Chains Trophic levels are governed by the interaction of bottom-up forces (light, nutrients, climate, and very importantly, the amount of producers like plants and phytoplankton). But they’re also governed by top-down forces (top keystone predators keeping lower-trophic animal numbers in balance and extremely fit). All this is very important to maintaining biodiversity and healthy ecosystems, and to prevent species extinction. This essay addresses some important scientific concep ...

The forest-grassland ecotone in the southcentral US is the tension zone between two major biomes and provides a number of important ecosystem services. Active management in the region using prescribed fire, forest thinning/harvesting, grazing, and herbicides can optimize desired benefits for landowners with a variety of management objectives. However, periodic severe droughts that plague this area and increasing climate variability have profoundly affected the productivity, resilience, and stability of ecosystems. We aim to facilitate sustainable management of the forest-grassland ecotone for different combinations of objectives such as timber, grazing, and wildlife habitat based on recent conditions and to adapt management to mitigate the negative effects of future drought and potential climate change. To this end, we are assessing the value of timber, cattle forage, and deer habitat. Input and output variables involved in valuation of timber, wildlife and cattle forage will be discussed. Tailoring research findings with the appropriate outreach materials will help educate traditional and nontraditional forest stewards in the region.

Exercise 1: Data Interpretation Dissolved oxygen is oxygen that is trapped in a fluid, such as water. Since many living organism requires oxygen to survive, it is a necessary component of water systems such as streams, lakes and rivers in order to support aquatic life. The dissolved oxygen is measured in units of ppm (parts per million). Examine the data in Table 4 showing the amount of dissolved oxygen present and the number of fish observed in the body of water the sample was taken from; finally, answer the questions below. Post-Lab Questions 1. What patterns do you observe based on the information in Table 4?

Lab #1: Ecological Interactions Adapted from: www.torontozoo.com INSTRUCTIONS Complete the lab and answer the questions below. After you’re finished, save this completed lab file and upload it to the Lab #1 folder in the Assignments section of class. BACKGROUND You will be working as a field biologist for a wildlife conservation organization. Before going out to the field (the zoo, a park, your backyard, etc.) you should have completed all your preparation and be familiar with key words and concepts (see below). Your aim is to observe wildlife (not a pet), collect data and make observations and analyses.This will require taking notes and taking the time to do careful detailed observations. You should read also read pp. 28 – 40 from chapter 2 of your text book before starting. DEFINITIONS Trophic level- each step in the food chain Producer (1st trophic level)-organisms that obtain their energy from the sun through photosynthesis. Examples: green plants, cyanobacteria Consumer (2nd trophic level)- a herbivore (plant eater). Examples: grasshopper, chickadee, cow, parasitic plants Consumer (3rd trophic level)- First-level carnivore (meat eater). Examples: spider, hawk, wolf, parasites. Note: there may be up to 4 levels of carnivores Decomposer-organism that feed on dead organic material. Examples: fungi, flies, bacteria . Omnivore- eats both plant and animals Examples: bear, human, mullein bug Ecological niche- the function or role of a species within an ecosystem; everything an organism does to survive and reproduce, including its place in the food web, its habitat, its breeding area and the time of day it is most active. Food chain- a description of the way energy flows in a system. Each link in the chain feeds on and obtains energy from the stage preceding it. Most food chains are only 3 to 4 links long. Food web- All food chains in a community make up a food web. A pictorial representation of the feeding relationships amongst organism in an ecosystem – who eats whom Energy pyramids- a pyramid diagram that shows trophic levels and how there is less energy available at higher trophic levels – see figure 2-2 from the text book (pg. 32) Sample: Food Chain and Food Web QUESTIONS Observations Select an animal or insect that interests you. Please do not choose a house pet or farm animal, as it’s very difficult to tease out the ecological relationships of pets since they are so tied to humans. Observe this wildlife for at least 15 minutes. Write down what you see, hear, smell, etc. You may use a combination of words and pictures. Record your observations. 1. What is the animal or insect you observed? (Or give its description if you don’t know it). 2. What is the ecological role or niche of your animal/insect? 3. What other organisms does your animal/insect interact with during your observations?Analysis of data 1. Examine your field notes for the animal or insect you selected. Draw a food web.

Next, offer your perspective on transparency. In Chapter 3 of their book Trust and Betrayal in the Workplace , Reina and Reina suggest that although one might "assume that they are obligated to share only what they need to complete specific tasks or projects" (p.45), this couldn't be further from the truth. Considering the statement above, discuss why leaders might provide information about their activities and decision making, even when employees may not be directly affected? Do you support this notion? Explain why or why not. both give and get the information you need to do your job, take responsibility for and learn from your mistakes, and talk through issues and concerns with an eye toward deep understanding and effective resolutions. Trust of Communication helps you create workplace relationships infused with positive energy, a sense of community, and shared purpose.You earn Trust of Communication by practicing six primary behaviors: share information, tell the truth, admit mistakes, give and receive constructive feedback, maintain confidentiality, and speak with good purpose.Behaviors that Contribute to Trust of Communication You need Trust of Communication to develop open, honest inter-actions that will support you and your colleagues in doing your best work. You want trustworthy communication, right? Cultivat-ing it begins with you. Let’s explore how to get it by practicing the six Trust of Communication behaviors.Share Information Do the people you work with willingly provide information to others? Or is information shared on a “need to know” basis? Do you assume you’re obligated to share only what others need to complete specific tasks or projects? Do your bosses or colleagues take this approach with you? Answering these questions requires honesty, both with yourself and with others.Think about how fast the world is moving and how this speed highlights the importance of fluid information flow. You know firsthand how vital information is to you. You can’t be effective without it. You and others need timely information to tie your efforts to your organization’s purpose and strategy.

New research suggests that the m ost effective executives use a collection o f distinct leadership styles - each in the right measure, at just the right time. Such flexibility is tough to put into action, but it pays off in performance. And better yet, it can be learned. by Daniel Golem an A sk a n y g r o u p of businesspeople f —I the question "What do effective X X leaders do?" and y o u 'll h ear a sweep of answers. Leaders set strategy; they motivate; they create a mission; they build a culture. Then ask "What should leaders do?" If the group is seasoned, you'll likely hear one response: the leader's singular job is to get results. But how? The mystery of what leaders can and ought to do in order to spark the best performance from their people is age-old. In recent years, that mystery has spawned an entire cottage industry: literally thousands of "leadership experts" have made careers of testing and coaching executives, all in pursuit of creating businesspeople who can turn bold objectives-be they strategic, financial, organi zational, or all th re e -in to reality. Still, effective leadership eludes many people and organizations. One reason is that until recently, vir tually no quantitative research has demonstrated EADERSHIP THAT GETS ESULTS which precise leadership behaviors yield positive results. Leadership experts prof fer advice based on inference, experience, and instinct. Sometimes th at advice is right on target; sometimes it's not. But new research by the consulting firm Hay/ McBer, which draws on a random sample of 3,871 executives selected from a database of more than 20,000 executives worldwide, takes much of the mystery out of effective leadership. The research found six distinct leadership styles, each springing from different components of em otional in telli gence. The styles, taken individually, appear to have a direct and unique impact on the working atmo sphere of a company, division, or team, and in turn, on its financial performance. And perhaps most important, the research indicates that leaders with the best results do not rely on only one leadership style,- they use most of them in a given week -seam lessly and in different m easure-depending on the 78 H A R V A R D B U S I N E S S R E V I E W M a r c h - A p r i l 2 0 0 0 A R T W O R K B Y C f .

Negotiation Styles We negotiate multiple times every day in encounters with others. Negotiation occurs when two or more parties have conflicting goals or interests. Reflect on the past week and identify an instance where you negotiated with someone—at home, at work, or anytime you had contact with another person. For the first paragraph of your initial post, describe the negotiation event, including the participants, the key issues, and the outcome. For the second part of your initial post, evaluate the following starter bullet points, using research on course concepts to inform your analysis: Negotiators tend to have consistent styles. How would you assess your style in the negotiation? How would you assess the style of the other party? How might your style have been different had you been negotiating the same issue with a different person? .

Neurological System The nervous system is a collection of nerves and specialized cells forming a spectacular network of connections which transmit signals between different parts of the body. It controls the activities of all body organs and tissues. Structurally, it is organized into two parts: the central nervous system, comprising the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system, which connects the central nervous system to other parts of the body. The aging process is associated with many biological, physiological, environmental, psychological, behavioral, and physical processes. These changes often result in several complex health conditions dubbed geriatric syndromes. Most cells have a short life span and are easily regenerated and replaced by new cells in the human body. On the other hand, nerve cells are generated in vivo, have a longer life span, and are usually not replaced when they die or are destroyed. Several changes occur in the central nervous system. Firstly, nerve cells and supporting neuroglia are gradually lost with age. On the other hand, the remaining cells function less efficiently, and there is an increased concentration of harmful materials such as free radicals and iron in the remaining brain tissue (Knight & Nigam, 2017). Secondly, there is a decrease in brain mass leading to decreased function of affected areas such as the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and motor cortex, manifesting as impairments in higher functions, memory loss, and gait. Thirdly, the ventricles increase in size and due to the loss of cells lining the ventricles. Fourthly, there is a decrease in cerebral blood flow and diminished integrity of the blood-brain barrier over time. There is also a decline in the production of neurotransmitters. Lastly, age-related changes to the vertebrae and intervertebral discs may increase pressure on the spinal cord and its branching nerve roots. This can slow down nerve impulses' conduction along motor neurons, contributing to reduced muscular strength (Manini et al., 2013). There is a slowed nerve conduction in the peripheral nervous system attributed to decreased axonal length, loss of mitochondria, and degeneration of peripheral neurons' myelin sheath. This may result in decreased sensation, slower reflexes, and clumsiness. On top of that, damaged neurons are not repaired efficiently in older adults, and some are not repaired at all. The decrease in brain function with aging may impair mental function seen in neurodegenerative conditions such as delirium and dementia. Delirium is defined as an acute confusional state characterized by an acute decline in attention-focus, perception, cognition, and consciousness. In contrast, dementia is an acquired global impairment of intellect, memory, and personality but without impaired consciousness. The two conditions are similar in that they exhibit similarities in their presentation: impaired memory and judgment, confusion, disorientation, and varia.

Neuroleadership is an emerging trend in the field of management. As we look at the importance of global leadership in our ever-changing business environment, we find a connection between our way of thinking and our leadership and decision-making style. Below are several articles related to this topic. Please choose 2-3 articles from below to read on the subject and then evaluate and discuss the rise of neuroleadership in the human resource and organizational development disciplines. Articles: David Rock. (2013). T + D, 67 (10), 84-85 . Dr. David Rock presented on the brain science behind performance at PeopleFluent global user conference WISDOM 2015. (2015, Mar 10). Business Wire. Dr. David Rock presents 'the brain science behind performance' at PeopleFluent WISDOM 2015. (2015). Professional Services Close - Up. Fox, A. (2011). Leading with the brain. HRMagazine, 56 (6), 52-53 . In an interview, David Rock, founder of the NeuroLeadership Institute, talked about how scientists' growing understanding of the brain illuminates techniques for leadership and decision-making. Rock said mindfulness is the ability to be meta-cognitive or to think about your thinking. Labeling is the ability to put words on your mental state -- for instance, to articulate when you are feeling anxious. All involve an area of the brain that is central for self-regulation -- the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex. Researchers are discovering that self-regulation -- regulating emotion, regulating your thoughts, regulating your attention -- is essential in leadership. The optimal leader is adaptive. Leaders have to know when to be dogmatic in their beliefs and when to be collaborative, when to get granular and when to be big-picture-focused. To be adaptive, you must have an integrated brain. A big part of the creative process is using your non-conscious brain, because the problems being tackled are simply too big for conscious processing resources. Hogan, T. (2010). Neuroscience provides tools to navigate the new business reality. People and Strategy, 33 (4), 8-9 . The four domains of NeuroLeadership; problem solving, emotion regulation, collaborating and facilitating change provide an interesting lens through which to examine the field of global leadership development. Leaders today face greater challenges than ever before as they work across multiple geographies, functions, product lines and national cultures. Neuorscience provides a useful framework for understanding how leaders gain insights while learning to work in new ways across traditional boundaries in a borderless world. Leaders, therefore, need to be able to see and process information in new ways, making connections between phenomena that have never been linked before in their minds. This is systems thinking, and it is the hallmark of resourceful and innovative leaders throughout history . Kiefer, T. (2010). Neuroleadership-more than another leadership framework.

Network security A firewall is a network security device that screens approaching and active network traffic and chooses whether to permit or block explicit traffic dependent on a defined set of security rules. Firewalls have been the first line of protection in network security for more than 25 years. They set up a boundary among verified and controlled inner networks that can be trusted and untrusted outside networks, for example, the Internet. A firewall can be hardware, software, or both. There are several types of firewalls such as: Proxy firewall; An early sort of firewall gadget, a proxy firewall serves as the gateway from one system then onto the next for a particular application. Proxy servers can give extra usefulness, for example, content storing and security by keeping direct connections from outside the system. Stateful inspection firewall; Presently thought of as a "customary" firewall, a stateful inspection firewall permits or blocks traffic dependent on the state, port, and protocol. It screens all activity from the opening of a connection until it is shut. Unified threat management (UTM) firewall; An UTM device normally join, in an inexactly coupled way, the elements of a stateful inspection firewall with intrusion prevention and antivirus. Next-generation firewall (NGFW); Firewalls have developed past straightforward packet sifting and stateful inspection. Most organizations are conveying next-generation firewalls to block modern dangers, for example progressed malware and application-layer attacks. threat-focused NGFW; These firewalls incorporate every one of the capacities of a conventional NGFW and furthermore give propelled threat detection and remediation. In its relevance to the network security, firewall plays the following roles: Gives defense against outside dangers by declining unapproved connections to the router from potential attackers, for example, hackers. It additionally shields the network infrastructure from inside. In other words, it blocks active connections from the router. It mitigates the spread of viruses, keyloggers, or malware that have sneaked past the router and on the network.

Need it to be 300 words. Two paragraphs only. What would you consider to be defining traits and behaviors of a successful leader? Epicurus Commentary Chapter 4 Materials Section 1: Epicurus begins his exposition of hedonism with a particular cosmology—that is, with a comprehensive and rational account of the ultimate nature of the cosmos, or universe. The cosmology we speak of is called atomism, which comes from the ancient Greek word atomos, meaning “uncuttable” or “indivisible.” According to atomism, the universe (and everything in it) is composed of an infinite number of atoms combining and separating in the infinite void. Atoms are the most basic building blocks of reality. They are eternal—they are neither created nor can they ever be destroyed. Thus it makes no sense to ask “where did the atoms come from?” or “why does anything exist at all?” Atoms do not come from anywhere, since they have always existed and always will exist. Epicurus believes that atomism is the most common-sense approach to understanding reality. The fact that there are only material things, or bodies, is confirmed by the experience of all men. It impossible, he says, to even conceive of anything besides bodies and the empty space (void) through which those bodies move. Now it is true that many people believe in incorporeal (i.e., non-bodily) souls, not to mention angels and gods. But Epicurus finds this belief rather silly, since our senses do not allow us to perceive anything that is not a body. In fact, even when we try to imagine angels and gods, we invest them with a human shape or form, as if they were some kind of spiritual body, which is a contradiction in terms (because to be a real, existing being, it must have the power of acting and being acted upon, and only corporeal beings are capable of this). No, says Epicurus, the only real beings are material things. (From this observation he makes the logical deduction that if you divide bodies into halves you will at some point reach a body that is so simple that it can no longer be divided into anything smaller—this is the atom.) Everything else (immaterial gods, souls, angels, demons, spirits, etc.) is the product of our vivid imaginations. The sooner we realize this, the better off we will all be. There are two types of bodies: compounds, which are clusters of two or more atoms, and then the actual atoms out of which those compounds are formed. As we pointed out already, the atoms are indestructible. The constellations of atoms, or compounds, on the other hand, are not indestructible: at some point they will cease to exist as particular compounds. Let us use you as an example: You, as a human being, are a highly complex bundle of perhaps trillions of atoms arranged in a particular configuration. But you have not always been such as you are now. At some point you did not exist: the atoms that now make up your body existed somewhere else in nature (perhaps in the plants and animals your parents used for fo.
