1. In need of a 3 page essay on how the presence or absence of wolves
affects the shape of a river
Not so long ago, wolves roamed nearly all of the United States—red wolves in the south and
grey wolves in the north. Wolves have been mostly extricated in all of the United States
except for a few small remaining populations.Begin your essay with an introduction, and
describe the process of how the presence or absence of wolves affects the shape of a river.
Include in your discussion what community ecology is and how the level of biodiversity
relates to interactions among organisms and the environment.Using further research, do
you think it would be a good or a bad thing to reintroduce wolves to the area where you
live? Discuss both sides of the issue, and explain why you do or do not agree. In your
argument, explain how food webs shape species diversity and how keystone species, such
as the wolf, play a vital role in the environment that shapes habitats and impacts
biodiversity.Conclude with a description of how ecology and biodiversity benefit human life
and how human life negatively impacts the environment.Make sure to use research and data
to back up your opinions. Cite any outside information that is used throughout the text, and
add references at the end of your essay using APA format.A note about reliable sources:
There is a lot of information on the Internet that is not accurate. Making sure you utilize
reliable sources is vital. Good places for reliable scientific information are universities and
colleges; government websites, such as NASA.gov; and journal articles. Use the CSU Online
Library to find journal articles.To search the Internet and to increase your chance of finding
sources that are more reliable, add “edu” or “gov” to the end of your search terms. For
example, if you were searching for information on light usage, you would type the following
terms into Google: “light usage edu” or “light usage gov.” You may also use sciencedaily.com
in order to use their search engine within the website to find reliable scientific
information.Your essay must be at least three pages in length, be double-spaced, and use
12-point Times New Roman font. You must have a title page, introduction, body, conclusion,
and reference page. You must also use three reliable sources for your paper that should be
