1 Environmental Biology for Engineers and Scientists D.A. Vaccari, P.F. Strom, and J.E. Alleman © John Wiley & Sons, 2005 Chapter 1 - Introduction Chapter 2 – Biology as a Whole

2 Figure 1-1. The quadratic iterator, illustrating chaotic behavior and extreme sensitivity to initial conditions. c. Difference between the two series.

3 Figure 1-2. The hierarchy of responsibility in Aldo Leopold’s land ethic.

4 Figure 1-3. Example of a concept map encompassing the principles of environmental engineering.

5 Figure 2-1. The bottleneck effect. [Based on WK&S]

6 Figure 2-2. Development of the eye in molluscs showing how even complex structures can evolve gradually: limpet, nautilus, scallop, octopus. [From Postlewaite and Hopkins]

7 Figure 2-3. The three domains. PROKARYOTES Domain Bacteria FIFTEEN KINGDOMS Domain Archaea THREE KINGDOMS Domain Eukarya EUKARYOTES KINGDOM FUNGI Ascomycota Basidiomycota Deuteromycota Zygomycota KINGDOM PLANTAE Dicots Monocots Gymnosperms Seedless vascular plants Bryophytes Multicellular algae KINGDOM ANIMALIA Vertebrates Arthropods Annelids Molluscs Echinoderms Nematodes Flatworms Cnidarians Sponges KINGDOM PROTISTA Slime Molds Protozoans Unicellular Algae

8 Figure 2-4. Temperature versus radiation intensity for Daisyworld. The dotted line shows how the global temperature would vary in the absence of the two daisy populations. The solid line shows the influence of the daisy population.
