Assignment:

1. The concepts of natural selection and evolution are central to how most biologists understand and interpret the world, and yet the theory of evolution is contrary to the beliefs of many religious groups. Why do you think this theory is so important to science and so strongly opposed by others? What evidence would be required to convince opponents of evolution?

2. The concept of keystone species is controversial among ecologists because most organisms are highly interdependent. If each of the trophic levels is dependent on all the others, how can we say one is most important? Choose an ecosystem with which you are familiar and decide whether it has a keystone species or keystone set.
