Introduction 介绍
During this practical, you will be exploring the zoo and collecting information on various species that you will then be analysing as part of your scientific poster assessment, due in Week 11 (Thursday May). There are specific instructions for the poster assessment on the 'Assessments' page on Canvas. Be sure to follow them closely, only a general overview is provided in these practical notes. 在这个实践中，你将探索动物园并收集各种物种的信息，然后你将分析这些信息，作为你的科学海报评估的一部分，将于第11周（5月星期四 ）进行。Canvas 上的“评估”页面上有关于海报评估的具体说明。请务必密切关注它们，这些实用说明中仅提供一般概述。
General Overview: 总体概述：
Compare two of the following species: Dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius); Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus), Freshwater crocodile (Crocodylus johnsoni), Australian Brush-turkey (Alectura lathami), Western honey bee (Apis mellifera). 比较以下两个物种：单峰骆驼（Camelus dromedarius）;考拉（Phascolarctos cinereus），淡水鳄鱼（Crocodylus johnsoni），澳大利亚刷火鸡（Alectura lathami），西部蜜蜂（Apis mellifera）。
Compare the value of one species over the other taking into consideration: 比较一个物种与另一个物种的价值，同时考虑到：
biodiversity and ecosystem functioning 生物多样性和生态系统功能
how cultural backgrounds influence decision making 文化背景如何影响决策
0 inherent intrinsic value 0 内在价值
State which species should be prioritized for conservation and justify your choice 说明哪些物种应该优先保护，并证明你的选择是合理的
Use peer reviewed literature to do your research 使用同行评审的文献进行研究
Present your findings in a scientific poster 在科学海报中展示您的发现
During this practical, you will have the opportunity to view each species and take notes. Around each enclosure there is interpretation providing information about the species, this will assist you with your assessment and give you pointers of the type of information to research. For the brushturkey, there is no specific enclosure, but you will no doubt see many of them as you walk to each of the enclosures. This will rely on more of your own research and discussion with your demos. Note you should then use your own research literature and not Taronga interpretation as references. The interpretation is a good starting point, but the information presented in your poster needs to be from the research you conduct. 在此实践中，您将有机会查看每个物种并做笔记。每个围栏周围都有解释，提供有关物种的信息，这将有助于您进行评估，并为您提供研究信息类型的指示。对于灌木丛火鸡，没有特定的围栏，但当您走到每个围栏时，您无疑会看到许多围栏。这将依赖于你自己的更多研究和与你的演示的讨论。请注意，您应该使用自己的研究文献，而不是塔龙加语的解释作为参考。解释是一个很好的起点，但海报中呈现的信息必须来自您进行的研究。
Content Section Specifics: 内容部分细节：
For each of the following content sections write a 200-250 word comparison for your poster and include references 对于以下每个内容部分，为您的海报写一个 200-250 字的比较，并包括参考文献
Biodiversity and Ecosystem 生物多样性和生态系统
Functioning
Biodiversity is the variety of plant, animal and microbial life in a 生物多样性是植物、动物和微生物生命的多样性
particular habitat. An ecosystem is a community of interacting 特定的栖息地。生态系统是一个互动的社区
organisms and the physical environment they 生物体和物理环境
inhabit. Ecosystems are important in terms of how much 居住于。生态系统在多大程度上很重要
biodiversity they contain, but also in the functions that they 它们所包含的生物多样性，以及它们的功能
carry out. Ecosystem functioning reflects the activities (i.e., 进行。生态系统功能反映了这些活动（即
feeding, excretion, growth) of the biodiversity and how this 喂养、排泄、生长）的生物多样性以及如何做到这一点
affects the physical and chemical conditions of their 影响其物理和化学条件
environment, i.e., excretion acting as a fertilizer for soil and 环境，即作为土壤肥料的排泄物和
plants.
This section should compare the habitat and ecosystem both 本节应比较栖息地和生态系统
species are found in, and the importance of the functioning on 物种被发现，其功能的重要性
the ecosystem each respective species has. 每个物种所拥有的生态系统。
How do cultural backgrounds 文化背景如何
influence decision making? 影响决策？
What is the cultural background for each of these species, from 这些物种中的每一个的文化背景是什么，来自
their historic and/or current range? Are/were they a revered 它们的历史和/或当前范围？他们是/曾经是受人尊敬的
species, are/were they desired as a food resource, are/were 物种，是/曾经是它们作为食物资源，是/曾经是
they considered a pest? What influence does this cultural 他们认为是害虫？这种文化有什么影响
background and knowledge have on deciding whether a species 背景和知识决定了一个物种是否
should be conserved or not? 应该保存还是不应该保存？
This section should compare the cultural backgrounds of your 这部分应该比较你的文化背景
chosen species and how these influence decision-making. 选定的物种以及这些物种如何影响决策。
Inherent intrinsic value 内在价值
The inherent intrinsic value of any sentient being is the value 任何有情众生的内在价值就是价值
that something has in itself, for what it is. Something is valued 某物本身就具有，因为它是什么。有些东西是有价值的
intrinsically for what it is rather than what it can provide or bring 从本质上讲，它是什么，而不是它能提供或带来什么
about. For example, species and ecosystems can be intrinsically 大约。例如，物种和生态系统可以本质上是
valued regardless of their diversity and beauty. 无论它们的多样性和美丽如何，都受到重视。
Which species should be prioritized 哪些物种应该被优先考虑
for conservation and why? 为了保护，为什么？
Compare your chosen two species from an intrinsic perspective. 从内在的角度比较您选择的两个物种。
species you would choose to conserve. Justify your answer. 你会选择保护的物种。证明你的答案是正确的。
