You are comparing species diversity between four different habitats: which of the
following habitats is the most diverse?
Habitat A has 15 species total, with approximately equal representation across
all species
Habitat B has 15 species total, and is dominated by two of its fifteen species
Habitat C has 3 species total, with approximately equal representation across all
species
Habitat D has 3 species total, and is dominated by one of its three species
Habitats A and B are equally diverse
What is intraspecific competition? What are some examples of how the limited quantity of resources affects intraspecific completion? How does intraspecific competition affect species distribution and their evolution?

- 1) Which of the following defines the niche of a species? The role of a species in its community as well as the conditions it requires and the interactions it takes part in All populations of all species in some area The type of environment in which a species lives The number of species and their relative abundance within a community 2) Which of the following is an example of a biological factor that can affect community structure? Tropical regions support a high species diversity by receiving the most sunlight energy. The high temperatures of desert regions limit which species can live there. A plant species can live only in regions with a suitable level of rainfall. An insect herbivore inhibits the population growth of a tree species. 3)Which of the following prey defensive adaptations involves two or more prey species coming to resemble one another? Camouflage Startle displays…arrow_forwardData shown in this figure describes the species richness of mammals and birds among a variety of Sky islands. Which of the following best fits the correlations represented in the graphs? 1) number of individuals increases with area and decreases with isolation 2) species richness increases with area and decreases with isolation 3) species diversity varies depending on area and isolation? Follow up question which model of species distribution and abundance does this data support? 1) Species area relationship 2) species accumulation curve 3) island-biogeography 4) rapoport’s rulearrow_forwardWhich of the following statement is incorrect about the two broad classes of explanation of interspecific distribution abundance relationships? (a) The first class postulates the existence of a positive feedback between local abundance and the regional distribution of a species. (b) Species that occur in large number across many localities will be more likely to maintain their wide distribution and high abundance. (c) Consequence of positive feedback is that there is no dichotomy. (d) The consequence of positive feedback is that there is dichotomy, species will be either widespread or abundant or they will be restricted and scarce. This division helps in the knowledge and in turn helps to categorize them accordingly as restricted or widespread species.arrow_forward
- Species interactions can be categorized into five different groups. List, define them, and provide an example of each.arrow_forwardDescribe two interspecific interactions where both species benefit and both species are at a disadvantage. Identify the interaction.arrow_forwardUsing the community assembly theory, provide a framework or explanation on: How do some exotic species outperform locally-adapted native species? Cite specific example(s).arrow_forward
- You are studying two new species that have a mutualistic relationship. How would you determine if the mutualism is facultative or obligate? What types of observational data would you collect and what type of experiment would you conduct?arrow_forwardWhy 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.arrow_forwardHabitat fragmentation can lead to: a)The disappearance of the matrix due to decreased habitat heterogeneity b) Changes in patch use by animals, with smaller patches leading increased size of home range or movement for many animals c) Variation in microenvironment near the edge of the patch with negative consequences for diversityarrow_forward
- Can you please help find the answer that is reasonable base on this chart?arrow_forwardRead this quote from Charles Darwin (from Origin of Species). What is he describing? "Thus, I can understand how a flower and a bee might slowly become, either simultaneously or one after the other, modified and adapted to each other in the most perfect manner, by the continued preservation of all the individuals which presented slight deviations of structure mutually favorable to one another." An interaction network. A predator/prey cycle. O Coevolution. An obligate mutualism.arrow_forwardWhat would a random distribution of species in an environment indicate? that females are antagonistically interacting in the population that males are antagonistically interacting in the population resources are uniformly distributed throughout the habitat O resources are randomly distributed throughout the habitatarrow_forward
