POPULATION Pyramids
The maps above show the average temperature of the planet in the month of August. The higher map shows data for 2000 and the lower map shows data for 2017. The temperature of the planet greatly increases from 2000 to now.
The temperature of the planets oceans is much higher than the average.
Species Diversity
1. Identify the parking lot that was the most diverse. Based on your observations during the lab, explain why your
prediction in question #1 of the prelab was supported or not supported.
The student parking lot had only a little bit more diversity than the Staff parking lot.
2. List the single most abundant species in each set of data, and write a plausible explanation to explain why these are
the most abundant species.
Chevy is the most abundant species in the student parking lot, because people in Turlock are a bunch of rednecks that need big trucks to compensate for something else. Ford is the most abundant species in the staff parking lot, because Fords are affordable for teachers and school staff.
3. Determine the maximum and minimum values for the Shannon Diversity Index in the parking lot you surveyed.
The Student parking is 2.36 diversity making that the max. The staff parking lot had 2.34 making that the min.
4. If you conducted this lab in a shopping mall parking lot, predict whether the Shannon Diversity Index would be high or
low, and how it would compare to the school parking lots.
It would be higher because we would have a more of a mix of types people leading to different types of cars.
5. If you conducted this lab at a new car dealership, predict whether the Shannon Diversity Index would be high or low,
and how it would compare to the school parking lots.
It would be very low because a car dealership typically has the same brand of cars making a dealership very different from the school parking.

Wooly Worm Conclusion
a. The degree of freedom is 6
c. 79.23
d. It was not chance. There were definitely specific reasons for why certain worm were picked up.
e. The green and dark worms has positive selection pressure because of their ability to camouflage and the brighter worms had negative selection pressures because of their lack of ability to camouflage.
f. Green worm population will increase where the brighter colored worms will decrease and die out.
g. Brighter colored worms will die out. They are more visible in the grass and also during the night.
h. The population of green and brown worms would have increased and the population of bright colored worms would decrease and possibly decrease.
