Precipitation Levels and the Affects to Beak Size Dixie Woodard BIO/101 November 22‚ 2010 Alison Barrett Precipitation Levels and the Affects to Beak Size The experiment demonstrates the affect of precipitation levels to the beak size of finches on Darwin Island and Wallace Island. The levels of rainfall not only affect the beak sizes of the finches but also the population over time. The experiments were conducted over a period of three hundred years. The parameters remained

the finch beak size from both Darwin and Wallace Island. The finches from both island‚ showed an average beak size of 12.0 mm. Precipitation on both Darwin and Wallace island average 20.0 cm. Scientists want to determine if precipitation was to increase‚ would the finch beak increase in size? In this lab study‚ scientist will be measuring the amount of precipitation within the discovery of the finch on Darwin and Wallace island‚ and collect data to prove that the finches evolved a larger beak

Over a period of 25 years the benchmark precipitation yield has increased from 70 g/l to 90+ g/l‚ whilst producing sandy alumina. However with the theoretical maximum precipitation yield at 160

Wabash Watershed (1961-1990) Wabash Watershed (1961-1990) Introduction Global warming is a resultant of Heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere. The release of these gases has increased in the last 500 years since the industrial revolution. There is an expectation that global warming will result to rising sea levels‚ droughts‚ fires‚ heat waves‚ extreme storms‚ heavy rainfall‚ floods‚ and melting of snow and ice. These changes as envisaged would affect agriculture and general

on seeds produced by plants growing on these islands. There are three categories of seeds: soft seeds‚ produced by plants that do well under wet conditions; seeds that are intermediate in hardness‚ produced by plants that do best under moderate precipitation; and hard seeds‚ produced by plants that dominate in drought conditions. Evolution Lab is based on a model for the evolution of quantitative traits–characteristics of an individual that are controlled by large numbers of genes. These traits are

solution like B and D beside A‚ so if we look at the solubility chart‚ SO2- have only one precipitation with Ba2-. So we come to conclusion that C is CuSO4 and A is Ba(NO3)2 _ So now that we know C is CuSO4‚ other blue solution must be CuCl2 which is D‚ so according to chemical reaction experiment‚ D didn’t have any reaction with other solution beside B‚ if we look at solubility chart CuCl3 only have one precipitation with AgNO3. So we come to conclusion that B is AgNO3

chose to manipulate were the precipitation in the environment and the variance of the finches. However I only manipulated the precipitation and variance on Darwin Island and not on Wallace Island. I thought that if Darwin Island finches had less variance and less precipitation than Wallace Island Finches‚ that Darwin Island finches would be unable to effectively adapt in order to easily consume the type of seed that was a result of the lesser amount of precipitation.

The purpose of this lab is to examine finches from the island of Darwin and the island of Wallace and how the island size‚ finches’ clutch size and the precipitation on both islands directly affect the finches’ beak size and population. I believe that a larger island size‚ larger clutch size and high precipitation will lead to a smaller beak size and larger population.

The oceans supply most of the evaporated water found in the atmosphere (“The Water Cycle.”). Of this evaporated water‚ only 91% of it is returned to the ocean basins by way of precipitation. The remaining 9% is transported to areas over landmasses where climatological factors induce the formation of precipitation (Hubbart). The resulting imbalance between
