Writer, the following assignments below come with it’s own instructions For each topic below place cites right beneath each assignment. Please follow instruction carefully. Topic: 2 Go to the USGS Bird Population (www.mbr-pwrc.usgs.gov/bbs/bbs.html) database (pay particular attention to the distributions section). Find the following species on the list. • Double Crested Cormorant • Great Blue Herron • Wood Stork • American Robin Using the information provided in the website, address the following: Assuming that generalist/opportunistic species are widespread and more or less uniformly distributed, which of these species would you categorize as generalists and which might be specialists with narrow niche preferences or environmental tolerance ranges? Pay special attention to the species climate range, presence in densely populated areas, and evenness of their distribution throughout their range. You may want to look at the precipitation, biome, and climate maps across their range. Also, their diet also helps because a specialist eats only one or two things while a generalist may eat several different prey items. I would also suggest you do a Google search of each species to gather more information. There are right and wrong classifications on this assignment.

Topic: 3 Go to the World Health Organization (http://www.who.int/health-topics/idindex.hum) web site. Look up the current status of Ebola and Leishmaniasis, and compare them to an infectious disease (of your choice) that occurs closer to where you live (consult Figure 8.6 in your text for information). You may also use other websites for information regarding the three diseases. Address the following in your paper: What organisms cause the three diseases? What is their current distribution and prevalence? What environmental (think of natural environment, not their home environment) and social factors (that affect the environment) contribute to their spread? Does any treatment exist for the diseases?

Grading Criteria: Topic: 4 Before building a new power plant, a utility company must gain permission and procure the required permits for construction from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). At this time, the policy of the EPA is to limit construction of power plants to clean burning natural gas systems (to reduce emissions of CO2). One result of this policy is the reluctance of utility companies to build new power plants. California has recently experienced serious problems with their ability to provide enough electricity for its residents because of this reason. A result of this problem is that utility rates in California jumped 500% to 600% in a one-year period. With the above information in mind, and based on what you have read and discussed so far in class, discuss the pros and cons of this EPA policy. Be sure to keep in mind things like environmental impacts but also issues relating to social impacts due to higher electrical prices. While you are not required to review or search for additional information on the internet, please feel free to do so.

Once your state information loads up, find the water system or district that serves your home (or the nearest system to you) by clicking on the blue “your water quality report” link near the middle of the page under the header “The Water You Drink”. Review any information on the water quality or past violations for your system. In your paper, discuss issues related to groundwater in your state and the area of the state in which you live. You can also use Google to search for any information you might find relevant. In your search string you will want to include the name of the state and city where you live and “CCR water quality report”.

Topic: 5 Boulder, Colorado, has been a leader in controlling urban sprawl by limiting new construction and population growth. One consequence has been skyrocketing housing prices.
