  •  What is your personal definition of ecology? How
    do the definitions of ecology presented by
    Essentials of Ecology and the one proposed by
    Ernst Haeckel vary? Which of these previous
    definitions of ecology do you agree with and why?

  • What is the difference between evolution and
    natural selection? What factors make the
    Galapagos Islands such a fertile ground for
    observing evolution and natural selection? What
    are some other sites that you might propose to
    observe evolution and natural selection in action?
