2.4 Organisms and their environment Describe a method to carry out random sampling of weeds using a quadrat. Split field into equal sized fractions. Give each fraction a number. Use a random number generator program to choose which areas to sample. How has white nose syndrome affected bats? The white fungus lives on bats faces. Infection awakens hibernating bats, forcing them to use up fat reserves. Data was collected by two groups of students. Calculate the means, medians and modes for each sample Is the data reproducible? Explain why. Yes the data collects is similar for both groups. Why did the rabbit population in Australia increase? People released rabbits for hunting, and those kept for rearing escaped destroying farm land What mechanisms are used to control the rabbit population in Australia Electric fences Sample 1 Sample 2 12 14 16 13 15 Mean Median mode 2.4 Organisms and their environment Suggest why the red squirrel is rarely seen today except in particular niches of the UK Introduction of grey squirrels from America that were bigger, stronger and carried a virus that infects and kills the red squirrel, and had a more varied diet. Red squirrels are now really only found today in pine forest plantations in northern England and Scotland Why are butterflies again in decline in 2012? Heavy rain and wind damages the butterflies wings. Changing flowering times has reduced food availability What is the advantage of using a transect technique rather than just random quadrat sampling? A quadrat just tells you about that spot - is useful for randomly sampling a whole field for daises. A transect allow you to see patterns as you move along a line from point A to point B How is the brown tree snake impacting on the biodiversity in Guam The snake ate all the native small birds that were not used to having predators, and then the snake changed its diet to other small mammals. Poisoned mouse bombs are being used to try and control the snake numbers. How does the acacia bullthorn plant work in a mutual relationship with ants? The plant provides a protective home and sugars for the ants. The ants deter hungry predators from eating the plant. What physical factors may affect organism numbers? Temperature Nutrients Light Water Oxygen Carbon dioxide What are the arguments for the death and decline of the bee population? Colony collapse disorder Mobile phone masts interrupting bees navigation Bees simply not returning What is the impact of bee decline on food production? Huge reduction in pollination of flowers for oil seed rape and fruit trees – reduced yield. What can we do to raise the population of bees? Place bee boxes in gardens and on farm land How is seaweed designed to survive the changing tide? Slime coat to prevent drying out, swim bladder to lift up when tide is out, holdfast attaqched to rock to withstand changing tide.
