Communities have no defined spatial or temporal extent. Using the information and studies discussed in class (e.g., Ricklefs 2008, or Brooker et al. 2009) or examples from the primary literature (peer-reviewed articles), in what context or at what scale is community ecology most useful? Does community ecology fail at any spatial or temporal scale of study? Consider the scales of study from molecular/genomic studies to research on continents or biomes, with population, community, and ecosystem ecology in the middle.

Expert Solution

Q.1 Community ecology :- Community ecology are useful for scientific purpose as for scientist, to know or to understand about structured of community, how they changed over time. Their relationship between species and in between organism.

community is togetherness/ association or groups of people. In which their are different species, belonging from same geographical area.

their study is important because of their is conservation of endangered species, their is control of disease, here we get knowledge about interspecific competition.

Q.2.Community ecology fails because

1. their is manipulation of time by humans, 2.their is some similarities between space and time, from that there come issue of scaling .

Q.3.Genomic study belong all the fields of knowledge, of organism and ecosystem by the analysis of gene, genetics, nucleotide, genome, transcript.

1. This will increase our knowledge, related to living organisms.

2. It strength/ increase our knowledge of less well known phyla,

3. It explore/ travels through all the biomes, with holobiomes.

4. It involves Interaction between genome, people, humans and environment.

B. Compare and contrast these two case studies: The first one we discussed in class, General Motors (GM), which decided to offshore production from the USA to Mexico. When GM began this in the late 70s, it was a relatively new idea for a major American producer, and was highly controversial, but the trend has grown over the decades, and nowadays other major car companies, including European and Asian giants like BMW and Honda, have followed the same strategy to...

a) Using the AD-AS framework discussed in class, demonstrate the impacts of spending on infrastructure and a tax cut on output and inflation in the shortrun. b) Also explain the likely impact of spending on infrastructure on output in the long-run and show this on your AS-AD diagram. c) Explain (using your own words) what would happen to unemployment and output in the short run if job support payments (both Jobseeker and Jobkeeper) were switched off.

(Using Java) create a class that can identify a palindrome. A palindrome is defined as - A string of characters that reads the same from left to right as its does from right to left - Example: Anna, Civic, Kayak, Level, Madam - To recognize a palindrome, a queue can be used in conjunction with a stack o A stack can be used to reverse the order of occurrences o A queue can be used to preserve the order of...

I have defined the class. Rectangle in Python. How do I define a class Canvas with the following description: Class Canvas represents a collection of Rectangles. It has 8 methods. In addition, to the constructor (i.e. __init__ method) and two methods that override python's object methods (and make your class user friendly as suggested by the test cases), your class should contain 5 more methods: add_one_rectangle, count_same_color, total_perimeter, min_enclosing_rectangle, and common_point.

Select a specific real-world firm or market that we have not discussed in class or the textbook and discuss which model of market structure you think would be most appropriate to describe that market. (ie. Perfect competition, monopolistic competition, oligopoly, monopoly.) Real world markets never exactly meet the assumptions of the models, so you can also talk about what aspects of the real-world market may not fit the model what aspects are not well described by the model selected. You...

As we have discussed several times in class, cells need to be close to a source of oxygen and nutrients in order to survive. Briefly explain how this fact affects 1) the size of osteons in compact bone; 2) the size of trabeculae in spongy bone; and 3) the order of events in endochondral ossification
