| 70 | Provide examples of communities changing over time, including succession and migrations. | ||
| 71 | Define “disturbed” ecosystems and describe how disturbances can alter food webs and ecosystem stability. | ||
Population Data Analysis Recitation |
72 | Use data sets to determine differences in population sizes and growth rates among nations and regions, based on birth rate, death rate, fertility rate, and age structure. | |
| 73 | Analyze figures and charts to draw conclusions about population growth and resource utilization. | ||
| 74 | Analyze and describe human population data. | ||
Bird Structures and Behaviors Laboratory |
75 | Describe several elaborate structures and corresponding behaviors of birds. | |
