Which of the following statements about the concept of ecological niche is correct? A species' realized niche, may or may not be the same as its fundamental niche The fundamental niche of a species includes biotic and abiotic factors while the realized niche only includes biotic factors A species' fundamental niche is always smaller than its realized niche A niche is the same as a habitat
Match the problems for biodiversity with the solutions described in the textbook. Fund NGOs to implement conservation. Charge visitors for admission and lodging. Land managers have a responsibility to listen to local people's perspectives. Train more scientists. International organizations provide technical and financial support. 1. Many species remain undescribed. 2. Local people unsupportive of the conservation project. 3. Countries face pressure to develop their natural resources. 4. Budgets for conservation areas are inadequate. 5. Government bureaucracy can be inefficient.
Determine if each statement is correct or incorrect: 1. Ecosystems with fewer numbers of species tend to be less stable. 2. Increasing numbers of species lead to more redundancy which is bad for the ecosystem. 3. More species mean more niche separation. 4. Species with a low resistance will also have low resilience. 5. Disturbances to ecosystems can be both naturally occurring and human caused. 6. Stresses to ecosystems are useful for removing weaker species and ensuring the strongest survive. 7. Bringing non-native species into an area to increase biodiversity makes the ecosystem more stable.
Explain the following values of biodiversity using coral reefs as an example: direct use, indirect use, option and amenity.
