An alien visiting Earth for the first time would see many differences between humans. While all members of a species are similar, there are two types of variation between individuals - discontinuous and continuous. Discontinuous variation results in distinct characteristics like blood type, while continuous variation shows a range of differences like height. The type of variation determines how the data can be represented graphically.

1. Define hypothesis using your textbook.
Name:_______________________________ Section:____
In lab this week you will gather observational data about arthropod distributions and ecol-
ogy, describe their niches in terrariums, construct a hypothesis, make a prediction, and
calculate the diversity (Shannon-Weiner Diversity Index) for each niche type.
Arthropods are a major component of all terrestrial ecosystems and their behavior has been
the object of many famous ecological studies. All arthropod species are in the Kingdom
Animalia and Phylum Arthropoda but they are in many different classes, orders, and
families. A large proportion of arthropods are plant detritivores, i.e. organisms that feed on
dead and decaying plant material. These organisms hasten the conversion of biomass to
soil, speed up rates of nutrient cycling, and as a result, increase the productivity of ecosys-
tems.
In this lab you will learn about three very important ecological concepts: diversity, niche and
the competitive exclusion principle. Diversity can be measured in a number of different
ways, and you will use the Shannon-Weiner Diversity Index. The niche is a set of environ-
mental factors necessary to the continued existence of a species. The niche describes
anything you might be able to think of that an organism requires. This includes what it eats,
where it eats, when it eats, when it sleeps etc. The competitive exclusion principle states
that two species with identical niches cannot coexist indefinitely (Gausse 1934). It makes
sense that species that coexist will have different niches. If they didn’t they would either be
in the process of going extinct or driving their competitor into extinction. The way species
subdivide niche space has been called niche partitioning.

One of the members of your group will obtain
a terrarium and poking / digging tools from the
west end of the lab. Do not do anything to the
terrarium yet. Note the overall structure of the
terrarium ecosystem (Fig. 1-1).

This presentation provides a briefing on how to upload submissions and documents in Google Classroom. It was prepared as part of an orientation for new Sainik School in-service teacher trainees. As a training officer, my goal is to ensure that you are comfortable and proficient with this essential tool for managing assignments and fostering student engagement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
How to Split Bills in the Odoo 17 POS ModuleCeline George
Bills have a main role in point of sale procedure. It will help to track sales, handling payments and giving receipts to customers. Bill splitting also has an important role in POS. For example, If some friends come together for dinner and if they want to divide the bill then it is possible by POS bill splitting. This slide will show how to split bills in odoo 17 POS.

2. How might he describe this classroom of humans to his people? Imagine an alien is visiting Earth for the first time. What differences might he see between all of us?
3. How do we divide up all the living things on Planet Earth? Animalia Chordata Mammalia Carnivora Canidae Canis C. lupis
4. How do we decide if living things are the same or a different species? A mule is a sterile offspring: can’t produce offspring of it’s own Donkey X Donkey Donkey X Horse Mule Horse X Horse
5. Lion x tiger Sterile Horse x zebra Sterile L i g e r Z e b r o r s e
6. Fertile : able to produce offspring L a b r a d o o d l e Labrador x Poodle
7. A species is a group of living organisms which share the same general physical characteristics and can mate to produce fertile young. Can we define a species now?
8. A Species -Define a species. -Give examples of animals of the same species reproducing to produce offspring. -Give examples of animals that are not the same species reproducing to produce offspring. -State the key difference between these offspring. Notes
9. Variation Although all members of a species are very similar, there are differences in their features – variation Activity In your groups pick any species of mammal and list variations in their features.
10.
11. Examples of discontinuous variation: Other species: -Smooth or wrinkled pea coat -White or red eyes in fruit flies -flower colour in sweet peas Ear lobes attached unattached Blood Groups O B A AB Tongue rolling Roller Non-roller
12. 1) Continuous variation: - Characteristics which do not show clear cut differences (show a range of differences). What features might show a range of variation? Number of petals on a daisy Heart rate Height
13. Discontinuous data Continuous data Distinct data can be presented as a bar graph. Ranges of data can be presented as a histogram or line graph. No. of pupils Tongue rolling ability Roller Non-roller Pea seed shoot lengths (mm) No. of seeds 1-5 6-10 11-15 16-20 21-25
