Post 7- Theoretical Perspectives

Designing my research project around the complexities of post-fire ecosystems, is a very interesting and unique challenge. At the heart of my project lies an inquiry into the intricate interplay…

Theoretical Perspectives

My study project may address several theoretical viewpoints, such as the ways in which seasonal or non seasonal flooding affects various ecosystems. When do vegetation species start decline in terms…

Theoretical Perspectives

The theoretical basis for my experiment is that sources of food from bird feeders within urban areas play a role in the abundance and species of birds in said urban…

Theoretical Perspectives

The theoretical basis for my research project on the effects of Canada Thistle on native species and local ecosystems can draw upon ecological and invasion biology theories. The three keywords…

Theoretical Perspectives

The theory behind my research project is anthropogenic impacts on wetland ecosystems directly affect the diversity of avian species within that ecosystem. My hypothesis touches on the ecological process of…

Theoretical perspectives; what a keystone species is and why are Grizzly bears, beavers and killer whale considered to be some of them in British Columbia:

⇒ A species that plays a vital role in defining an entire ecosystem. Without its keystone species, the ecosystem would either no longer exist or would change significantly. This means…
