Diversity index

important, therefore, measurements and indexes should be used to reflect the value these habitats hold. I suggest that an old-growth habitat index be used to reflect the “old-growth quality” of the upland and floodplain regions in Prospect Park. Most “old-growth” indices capture multiple qualities of the trees such as trees with dbh’s of over 100cm, diversity of tree sizes, standing dead trees greater than 50cm dbh and larger than 15 m. These three elements are readily available in forest…

Linguistic complexity is commonly defined as the variedness and elaborateness of language production (Ellis, 2003). The definition resembles the philosophical definition of complexity as a function of the number of a system’s constituent elements, the variety of these constituents, and the elaborateness of their inter- relations (Rescher, 1998). Accordingly, the measurement of linguistic complex- ity involves quantitatively measuring the number and nature of linguistic sub- components and the…

Wallaby, Short-beaked Echidna, Bush Rat and Eastern Grey Kangaroo were widespread over the study area. With the exception of Dusky Antechinus and Long-nosed Bandicoot, detection probabilities were high (0.80 – 0.99) (see Appendix 1 for details). The FD index calculations required at least three species per site; 32 sites with fewer than three species were removed from the analysis. Most of the removed sites were located in northeastern and driest end of the study area. The results described…

Goal 13 's targets is determining if they are each individually measurable. The resilience that is to be measured in Target 13.1 can be broken down into ecological and human resilience to extreme events. The former may be measured by observing the diversity of a natural system (Gunderson, 2010) while human resilience can be measured based on the loss of lives after an extreme event. The policies that are mentioned in Target 13.2 may be measured by observing which countries implement new climate…

I have been impressed with the readings for this class. When it comes to incivility, it is interesting to see that even though it has been published in a book and articles have been written, there are still those who do not understand the magnitude of this issue in higher education or in the general public. I agree with Twale and DeLuca, when they state that incivility has behaviors that are indicative of bullying (Twale & DeLuca, 2008). When co-workers show intolerance or disrespect toward…
