Which section of the graph represents the thermoneutral zone? 

A newly admitted patient diagnosed with schizophrenia is hypervigilant and constantly scans the environment. The patient states, “I saw two doctors talking in the hall. They were plotting to kill me.” The nurse may correctly assess this behavior as:

Below is a list of ecological studies. Select the ones that are “observational”, and not “manipulative experiments”.

Consider the photo below, which shows the canopy of coniferous and deciduous forest. Explain how a shift in forest composition from coniferous forest (e.g. spruce) to deciduous forest (aspen and birch) would be expected to affect the region’s temperature via albedo. Consider the effect in both the growing season (showing in picture) and during the winter.  

Examine the graph below carefully. Note the three regions labelled A, B, and C. The correct term for an animal that responds to environmental temperature variation in this way is .

Given sufficient levels of environmental heterogeneity, ectotherms can successfully regulate a constant body temperature. 

During the acute phase of schizophrenia, besides stabilization of psychotic symptoms and assurance of safety as overall goals, another appropriate focus would be:  

Examine the climate diagram below. Which biome do you think this site best exemplifies?   Hint – consider average temperature and precipitation, variability in temperature and precipitation over time, and occurrence of freezing or aridity. (If you are still shaky on Celsius temperatures, 0 deg C = 32 deg F; 20 deg C = 68 deg F; 30 deg C = 86 deg F.)
