The _______________ signifies that species richness is greater where two communities meet than at the center of either community. (a) edge effect (b) fundamental niche (c) character displacement (d) realized niche (e) limiting resource
Complete competitors cannot coexist is a statement of the principle of (a) primary succession (b) limiting resources (c) Mllerian mimicry (d) competitive exclusion (e) character displacement
A limiting resource does all the following except that it (a) tends to restrict the ecological niche of a species (b) is in short supply relative to a species need for it (c) limits the presence of a species in a given community (d) results in an intermediate disturbance (e) may be limiting for only part of an organisms life cycle
Two species of aquatic snails live in a nearby creek. Species A is a very strong competitor of Species B, who is a weak competitor. What do you expect will happen to the realized niche of Species B if both species share the same fundamental niche?a. increaseb. decreasec. stay the same
Predation influences demography and individual fitness in some ecological settings. Discuss scenarios where predation play an important ecological role nad others where it appears to be less importany
Which of the following statements best represents the productivityhypothesis regarding species richness?a. The larger the area, the greater the number of species that will befound there.b. Temperate regions have a lower species richness due to the lack oftime available for migration after the last Ice Age.c. The number of species in a particular community is directly relatedto the amount of available energy.d. As invertebrate productivity increases, species richness will increase.e. Species richness is not related to primary productivity.
Explain the effects on the ecosystem if Wood rat were removed. Provide both positive (if any) and negative impacts on the ecosystem. Be sure and include as many of the following terms in your writing as possible: autotroph, heterotroph, producer, primary consumer, secondary consumer, tertiary consumer, carnivore, omnivore, herbivore, energy, population, increase, and decrease.
The following picture represents mussels, goose barnacles, sea stars, anemones, etc. competing over space. Gary Luhm/Danita Delmont Stock Photography If the species ended up in each location by chance and are using up space without direct interactions, this would be an example of competition. If the species are actively competing with one another over who gets to live in which location (uplifting/crushing), this would be an example of competition. Act Go to
According to the competitive exclusion principle, two species cannot exist together if they occupy the same niche. Either they diverge their niches so they can coexist or one species will die out.All of the following are consistent with the principle of competitive exclusion EXCEPT Select one: a. Birds and bats both consume flying insects, but birds are active in the day and bats are active at night. b. Two species that share the same niche will exclude other competing species. c. Different bird species forage for insects in different parts of the same tree. d. When two species of Paramecium are grown in the same medium, one strain will eventually eliminate its competitor.
If two species are close competitors, and one species is experimentally removed from the community, the remaining species would be expected to select the best answer O become the target of specialized parasites expand its realized niche O change its fundamental niche eventually become competitively superior to the other species O decline in abundance
