Ecology Of Crime There are many patterns in the crime rate that seem to be linked to temporal and ecological factors. Crimes usually happen more often‚ and‚ or more less according to the day‚ season‚ climate‚ temperature‚ population density‚ and region. For example‚ a person is more likely to be assaulted at midnight when the temperature exceeds 90 degrees than when to temperature is 10 degrees below zero. Therefore‚ a criminal is more likely to commit a crime when the time of day‚ season‚ and

Ecology Lab Report 4/17/12 Abstract Sampling Stomatal Densities of Various Species of Plants The importance of stomata is the fact that they control the intake of carbon dioxide and the loss of water in plants. The ratio of intake to loss creates a better picture of which plants adapt would to their environment and which would not. Eight different plant species were sampled the stomatal densities and compared them to their environments. The densities were recorded for each species
