Study Guide:

Material to be covered on Test 3:

 

Part One

Lecture on Animial Migrations

Lecture on Coral Reef Ecosystems

Lecture on Open Ocean Habitats

Lecture on Deep Sea Habitats

 

[Note: PowerPoints that served as outlines for the lecture and discussion on these topics are available online from the course website. The lecture on Coral Reef Ecosystems was given from research slides, but a listing of the main topics discussed has been provided online.]

 

Part Two

Chapters from Sumich and Morrisey on reserve in the library and in the biology dept. office:

9. Tropical and Subtropical Shallow Seas

10. The Open Sea

11. The Deep-Sea Floor

 

Part Three

Questions taken from research papers presented by students in class.

Abbreviated titles:

Infanticide in Bottlenose Dolphins

Terrestrial Locomotion in Penguins…

Human Disturbance… on a Rocky Intertidal Community

Electric Organ Discharge… in Skates

Low Genetic Variability in the Hawaiian Monk Seal

Jellyfish Blooms… [and] Changing Ocean Conditions

Emerging Marine Diseases…

…Blue-Sensitive Rod Visual Pigment in the Conger Eel…

Predation on Marine Snakes…
