Species distributions are the result of ecological factors and
evolutionary history. Discuss the effect of global climate change
on the species distributions (be very specific!!!)
What are some of the risk factors in a child's ecological
environment that might result in the neglect or abuse of a child?
What is society's responsibility for protecting children or is this
a "private matter?" In what ways can individual citizens advocate

abused or neglected? Explain
1. Discuss ecological change in the Americas. Topics could
include changes among animal species, ecological damage caused by
humans, and the introduction of new crops into the Americas.
Address the biological and cultural exchange between Europeans and
the Native Americans.
2. Compare and contrast the reasons and motivations for the
settlement of each of the five main colonies and describe the
relationship of each of the five settlements with the Native
Americans of that region.
1. Discuss the implications of the spread and change of species
distributions after the retreat of the Pleistocene glaciers for
evolutionary changes in species and for the species composition of
ecological communities.
2. Describe the major mass extinctions over geological time.
When did each occur? What was the most probable cause for each mass
extinction event? What is the evidence to support each cause? How
does the background rate of extinction over most of geological time
compare to our current...
1. How might global warming alter the geographic distributions
of species? Specifically, how would animals that live at various
latitudes respond to global warming?
