Match the following classification terms with their definition.

In its simplest form commonly used by lay people (i.e., the grandmother test), species diversity (or biodiversity) is often equated with: 

Name and explain 3 techniques/strategies that birds use to reduce their brood size to match the resources available in the environment (this is often called ‘brood reduction’).

Philopatry tends to be female-biased in birds (i.e., females are more philopatric than males).

You are directing a project to sample and characterize the bird community at Old Mill State Park (a small, local state park).  Clearly you could sample 1000 plots and have ample data to do so; but you do not have the time, energy or money to sample that intensively.  How will you know how many plots to sample?  I.e., how do you know when you have sampled enough plots to detect and record most of the species richness but have not wasted your time by sampling too many plots unnecessarily?

Birds have multiple ___________ in each eye, which gives them a great visual advantage.

In a community of birds the class sampled during a field trip, we recorded 7 different species, each with 13 individuals (abundance).  Could a reasonable person (i.e., an average UMC ornithology student) mentally and easily calculate without paper, pencil, or calculator the following terms:

In the Situational Leadership model, the leader may like to see followers increase their level of readiness for particular tasks by implementing a series of developmental interventions to help boost follower readiness levels. Map the below based on the Follower Readiness (R1, R2, R3, R4) :
