Chapter 58.4, Problem 1CS
Summary Introduction
To determine: The way in which the equilibrium model of island biogeography may be useful in the design of nature reserves.
Introduction: Nature reserves are designed to conserve the natural flora and fauna of a particular area. Several theories have a major contribution in determining the best way to design a nature reserve. The equilibrium model of island biogeography also helps in designing a more effect model for conservation.

- Number answers only thanksarrow_forwardHelpppparrow_forwardQ10. An ecologist wants to know if diversity in a forest system is likely to decrease when an invasive species is introduced. This invasive species is a fast-growing annual plant that grows on oak trees and kills them. The invasive species can only survive on living oak trees. The ecologist has the original model from this lab and another version of the model which includes transitions that involve the invasive species. To answer the research question, the ecologist should compare species diversity generated by the original model to diversity generated by which model described below? A model in which oak has a positive transition rate to the invasive and the invasive has a positive transition to grass. A model in which oak has a positive transition rate to the invasive and the invasive has a positive transition to oak. A model in which the invasive has a positive transition rate to oak and oak has a positive transition to grass.arrow_forward

You are studying the intertidal zone of a previously unstudied island. You find three species of barnacles on the rocks. Species A is most abundant in the upper intertidal zone, Species B in the middle, and Species C in the lower, as shown below. Species A dominates Upper intertidal zone Species B dominates Middle intertidal zone Species C dominates Lower intertidal zone Q6. You conduct an exclusion experiment: You locate three experimental areas on rock faces that are the same size and span all three intertidal zones (upper, middle, and lower). In each experimental area, you exclude all but one species of barnacle for the duration of the experiment, as illustrated in the diagram below. The diagram also shows the numbers of individuals for the unexcluded species in each intertidal zone at the end of your experiment. Based on the data, whatarrow_forward
