- What are the two major ways that humans impacted Lake Apopka?
- What are the five types of lakes, based on nutrient loading? Which was Lake Apopka?
- Explain egg viability rate and why it mattered in this case study.
- What were the six hypotheses for why egg viability was low? Make sure to note which turned out to be true and which were shown to be false
- What caused the decline of alligators in Lake Apopka?
- https://moodle.purchase.edu/moodle2/mod/resource/v…<—-Read the abstract and conclusions from Milnes and Guillette 2008 (and as much of the rest as you can) and answer the following questions:
- Summarize what they are saying in the conclusions section (no direct quotes, just write in your own words the main points of this conclusion section)
- What case do they make for why we should care about sub-lethal effects in wildlife?
- This is a free discussion. Feel free to comment on anything that came up while you watched the lecture or read the article for this week. Make sure you also respond to at least one of your classmate’s post for full credit.
Some ideas if you can’t think of what to post (don’t have to do all of these, just suggestions):
Tell the class what you found interesting or concerning about this case study.Google other endocrine disrupting chemicals and write a post explaining them. Find anything interesting about alligator biology? (link other videos that you have watched and explain them). Do you think this case study was a success story? - Explain ways that the lake itself was restored (based on both the lecture and first video).
- Explain the relationship between carbon sequestration, climate change, and marshes.
- Explain why the Endangered Species Act was involved in this case study.
- Explain ways that the marsh was restored and maintained for wildlife and tourism (based on both lecture and second video).
- For this discussion forum, I want you to do some internet searching on your own and share what you find. As I say at the end of the lecture, the interesting thing about Lake Apopka now is how they are focusing on ecotourism. Because of this, there are lots of websites and videos devoted to this area. Do an internet/google search for Lake Apopka and share at least one resource that you found (consider filtering for news or videos to get better resources than just wikipedia). Explain what you learned from this resource and how it fits into the case study. Consider looking at what organization made this resource and think about their motivations.
