Q

Explains stratified sampling

A

Populations are divided into a number of strata which is based on a particular characteristic and then a random sample taken from each of these strata proportional to its size

Q

Explains systematic sampling

A

Areas within an overall habitat is identified. They are then samples separately using a line transact of belt transact

17
Q

What are the 4 ways of sampling animals?

A

Pooter
Sweet nets
Pitfall traps

18
Q

Explain how to use a pooter

A

You suck on a mouthpiece with where insects are drawn into the holding chamber by the inlet tube it is used to catch small insects

19
Q

Explain how to use sweeping nets

A

You catch insects in areas of long grass

20
Q

Explain how to use a pit full trap

A

You catch more insects like spiders and slugs are hole is dug in the ground where insects fall into

21
Q

How do you sample. Plants and what are the two types?

A

Quadrats
Point quadrat and frame quadrat

22
Q

Explain point quadrat

A

A frame has a horizontal bar which intervals along the bar long pins are pushed through the bar which reached the ground. Each species of the plant in the pin touches is

23
Q

Frame quadrat

A

Square frame is divided into a grade of equal section type a number of species within each section of record

24
Q

Frame quadrat is used to sample the population of plants living in a habitat and it’s done by

A

Density
Frequency
Percentage cover

25
How do you calculate bod diversity?
Using the Simpsons index of diversity
26
What are factors which affect genetic pay diversity?
Mutations which can create a new allele Interbreeding Selective reading Natural selection
27
What is the formula for the proportion of polymorphic gene loci
Number of polymorphic gene Lokai divided by the total number of Loki
28
If the polymorphic gene locate is greater than the genetic diversity is
Greater
29
What are the three main factors which affect by a diversity?
Human population growth Agriculture And climate change Also deforestation
30
What are the reasons for maintaining bod diversity?
Aesthetic Economic and ecological
31
What are the aesthetic reasons?
To protect landscapes
32
Economic reasons
To reduce soil depletion
33
What are the ecological reasons?
To protect the keystone species and maintain genetic resource
34
What are the two main categories? Scientist tried to maintain bod diversity conservation?
in situ conservation Ex situ conservation
35
What is in situ conservation?
It takes place within an organisms natural habitat it maintains a genetic diversity and maintains evolutionary adaptations which enable a species to adapt continuously to changing environmental conditions Examples include wildlife reserves and marine conservation sounds
36
What is ex situ conservation?
Removal of organisms from their natural habitat Examples include botanic gardens seed banks in captive breeding programs
37
What is CITES agreement?
Agreement between countries to regulate the trade in threaten species agreement makes it illegal to kill or trade endangered species
38
What is the CBD agreement? Also known as the Rio convention on biological diversity
Is the international pact to share responsibility for conserving biodiversity? It aims to develop strategies and guidance to government to use the resources sustainable
39
What is the county stewardship scheme? Also also known as CSS?
Protect wild areas and it pays landowners to implement techniques such as growing hedge grows to increase by diversity
