Section B. Is local diversity a product of regional forces‚ local forces‚ or both‚ and how might we know? In ecology‚ the change in species diversity across space and time is one of the oldest studied subjects‚ however the underlying causes of many diversity patterns is under much debate (Field et al. 2001; MacArthur‚ 1972; Rosenzweig‚ 1995). How does diversity arise (Erwin 1991)? How is diversity distributed in space (Dean et al. 1997‚ Fonseca et al. 2000)? And how is diversity maintained

Population Ecology: Clover Distribution and Density Method This lab consisted of the use of various materials. We used four orange flags in order to mark a 30x15m sampling area in which we collected our data from. To measure out the area‚ we used a thirty meter measuring tape and to determine the density (plants per meter squared) of clovers in the lawn‚ we calculated the total area of the plot (30x15meters squared). For this lab‚ a frisbee was used with the area of .053 meters squared as the
