Uppha*N2YKI dNI di - 1. (3 points) You are a researcher interested in a rare, highly endangered bird species that lives in a very remote area of the Amazonian rainforest. Almost nothing is currently known about this species' diet, behavior, life-span, breeding system, or its interactions with other species. You are designing a research project for this species. Ecological research can be conducted at five major levels or scales (one has been filled in for you in the table). List the four other potential levels of ecological study in order, from lowest to highest level. For each level, describe a potential research question you would ask in your study of the endangered bird species. Lowest Level name level Potential research questions Population Highest level - (4 points) Suppose that rabbits are the only prey and foods predator-prey interaction follows Lotka-Volterra in the absence of rabbits is 0.1 per wen ence of predation is 0.2 per at which rabbit

Explanation / Answer

Level Name Potential Research Question Organism What is the lifespan, diet, niche, and reproductive pattern of the bird? Population How many individuals are present and at what rate they are growing? What is the life history? Community How many meta-populations present? What are the type interactions among them? Any inter or intra specific competition? Ecosystem What trophic level they fall? What is their role in the present ecosystem? How important are they for the resilience of that ecosystem? Biosphere What are the global implications of extinction of this bird? What are their migratory patterns, if any? How many ecosystems or biomes they influence and in what ways?
