Textbook Question
Chapter 41.3, Problem 1CC
Why do high and low levels of disturbance usually reduce species diversity? Why does an intermediate level of disturbance promote species diversity?
Expert Solution & Answer
Trending nowThis is a popular solution!
Students have asked these similar questions
Based on the intermediate disturbance hypothesis, a community's species diversity is increased bya) frequent immigrations of new speciesb) moderate levels of disturbancec) intensive disturbance by humansd) stable conditions with no disturbance
What is the greatest cause for threatened species?
Why do moderate levels of disturbance result in an increase in community diversity?a) The resulting uniform habitat supports stability, which in turn supports diversity.b) Less-competitive species evolve strategies to compete with dominant species.c) Habitats are opened up for less competitive speciesd) Competively dominant species infrequently exclude less competitive species after a moderate disturbance.
