Ecology

Much better Quizzes the second time around.. remember they are open book so most of you should get 90-100 for a grade.
Chapters 52-55 cover ecology and this is the required reading for the next two and last quizzes: 1151-1159; 1174-1250; 1260-1264. The readings for this assignment go up to page 1194. Make cards for the following terms and examples. Do not use a glossary, take it from the text! A quiz will follow later in the week. Don't worry about the scary population formula, I will teach it to you later. After this assignment is just one more assignment and one more quiz on the rest of the ecology readings.
