2. Climate shifting has caused many populations of organisms to become dispersed and relocate. These organisms now appear in new regions where they have not been seen before. Using an example species, explain what this is called and how it can impact both the species in question and other species in the new area of residence. Is this good or bad for the involved populations? Explain your answer.

I have posted a picture of the options available too

1. What is the ecological relationship? 2. Give an actual example of an ecological relationship (e.g., predation, mutualism, commensalism, parasitism, amensalism, competition) that you find very interesting. Specify the species involved and provide the details of the relationship between the species. Also, explain why you found the particular example very interesting.

14. True or False? The term extirpation refers to the elimination of species at a local level and the probable loss of ecosystem function. Group of answer choices True False

A. What is the carrying capacity of this Grey Squirrel population? B. Grey Squirrels are invasice species to the UK, where Red Squirrela are native. What type symbiotic relationship are the two squirrel populations likely in? C. What hqs likely happened to the carrying cwpwcity of the Red Squirrel as the Grey Squirrel population increased in the UK? Explain why

16. Changes in habitat are a major threat for native species and can lead to species loss. A habitat change that is harmful is:   habitat decommission, or the breaking up of several larger habitats into smaller pieces of habitat, even if they are well connected. habitat heterogeneity, or the diversity of a habitat in physical make-up. All of the choices are true. habitat degradation, or the decreased value of a habitat used by species.

1. Define the following terms: a. Species Richness b. Species Evenness c. Species Diversity

5. Biodiversity is thought to be increased by all of the following symbiotic relationships except: A. mutualism (like fungi providing minerals and algae providing carbohydrates in a lichen) B. parasitism (the practice of "host-switching", like tapeworms targeting humans instead of pigs) C. competition (like gray squirrels competing with red squirrels in an oak forest) D. predation (the practice of "prey-switching", like wolves targeting elk instead of moose) E. commensalism (like barnacles hitching a ride across the ocean on a whale)

4. Use the graph to the right to answer the following questions.

There are two types of life strategies used by organisms to survive in their environment. 1. K-selected strategy - growth rate is near the carrying capacity 2. r-selected strategy - growth rate is near biotic potential Match the characteristices below to the life strategy they represent         J-cruve Logistic Growth Long life span Few offspring
