- What creates an environment where organisms can survive?
- Where does a k-selected species thrive?
- What type of species has an unstable environment, high fecundity, small in size, early breeding, short generation time, low parental care and grows exponentially?
- What type of interaction is predation?
- What are rates of extinction like on islands far from mainlands?
- What type of interaction is mutualism?
- What is the equation for the change in N/t for logistic growth?
- What type of species follow the survivorship 3 curve?
- What type of selection is density dependent?
- What type of selection is density independent?
- What type of species follow the survivorship 1 curve?
- What type of species has a stable environment, low fecundity, high parental care, long lived, and grows logistically?
- About how much energy is transferred from one trophic level to another through feeding interactions?
- Webster (1994) discovered that rats infected with Toxoplasma gondii no longer fear the smell of cats. Cats are the final host for T. gondii. This is an example of a parasite altering host behavior to
- Gross primary productivity is higher than net primary productivity. The difference between the two is
- With the addition of resource limitation, what change do you expect in the number of births as population size increases? In the number of deaths?
- A population of penguins has an annual per capita birth rate of 0.08 and an annual per capita death rate of 0.1. Estimate the net gain or loss of individuals from a population of 1,000 penguins in one year.
- What happens in a community when two species directly compete for a limited resource?
- Which interaction reduces fitness for both species involved?
- You observe two female fish. One female lays 100 eggs and the other female lays 1000 eggs. Consider the concept of fitness trade-offs. Compared to the female laying 1000 eggs, the female laying 100 eggs should
