23) The map below shows the global distribution of oak species. What does the biodiversity hotspot concept tell us about what regions should be priorities for oak conservation? Number of native oak species 0 1-5 6-9 10-15 16-19 20-29 30-49 50-99 100-149 150+ Answer here GLOBAL CONSERVATION CONSORTIUM OAK

Step 1
Looking at the map, we can see that there are several regions with a high number of native oak species. These regions include parts of North America, Europe, and Asia. Show more…

Ecologists often want to study communities to estimate biodiversity, determine the stability of a community, the health and fitness of a species, as well as population growth rates and numbers of trees present within a population or community. One measure of community stability that ecologists study is called the ecological importance value. It is a number is given on a scale from 0 – 300. The larger the value, the more important that tree species is to the community. Tree Species Importance Value White Oak 100 Red Oak 60 White Birch 220 Black Birch 88 Red Maple 90 Yellow Birch 123 Based on the information provided, develop a hypothesis relating the importance value to the health and fitness of a species. What is the dependent variable of the experiment? What is the independent variable of the experiment? Based on the information provided, which tree is the most important to the environment? Explain your answer. What type of graph would be appropriate for the data set? Explain your answer.

2 aspects of biodiversity in a community are richness and abundance. Match these to the way can can measure them The frequency of individuals of each species as compared to the total number of individuals Total trees: 50 Red: 10/50=20%, Yellow: 20/50=40%, green: 20/50=40% 1. Richness 2. Abundance Total number of different species Species count: 3 red trees, yellow trees, green trees

15) Now plot the relationship between Island Size and Species Diversity (you may decide what type of graph will best convey this relationship). Remember each island is an independent replicate, so use different colors or symbols. Also, remember to appropriately label your axes, and include a key. Question #6: Based on your data above, how does island size affect biodiversity? Question #7: Using your vast biological and ecological knowledge, what other island characteristics (other than size and distance from a source [mainland]) might influence its biodiversity?
