**Question:**An abiotic environmental filter that results in the presence of only 3 tree species that can tolerate reduced water supply in a biological community, from a pool of 20 possible tree species, is likely to result in _______________.**Options:**- random phylogenetic structure- phylogenetic clustering- phylogenetic overdispersion- resource generalization**Correct Answer:**- phylogenetic overdispersion**Explanation:**This question explores how abiotic environmental filters, such as reduced water supply, influence the phylogenetic composition of a biological community. Among the 20 potential tree species, only 3 species that can tolerate the stress are present. The option "phylogenetic overdispersion" suggests that these surviving species are more distantly related to each other than expected by chance, indicating adaptive responses to the environmental filter.

Abiotic factors are those factors that are nonliving chemical and physical parts of the environment…

An abiotic environmental filter that results in the presence of only 3 tree species that can tolerate reduced water supply in a biological community, from a pool of 20 possible tree species, is likely to result in O random phylogenetic structure O phylogenetic clustering O phylogenetic overdispersion O resource generalization

Figure 18.23 Which of the following statements is false? Punctuated equilibrium is most likely to occur in a small population that experiences a rapid change in its environment. Punctuated equilibrium is most likely to occur in a large population that lives in a stable climate. Gradual speciation is most likely to occur in species that live in a stable climate. Gradual speciation and punctuated equilibrium both result in the evolution of new species.
