Which of the following hypotheses proposes an initial rapid increase in ecosystem function with a gradual tapering off to a maximum level as species are added? .e Redundancy linear sampling Idiosyncratic O Keystone
Science Name: Date: Class: Range of Tolerance Data Analysis One of the responsibilities of an aquatic biologist is to make sure that the abiotic factors stay wiumh the acceptable ranges for the optimal help for the Species within the local ecosystem. Bcologists, including aquatic biologists, use the range of tolerance to monitor the number of different populations residing in the area. m order to do so they use statistical models. Create a graph displaying on the x-axis the ranges of abiotic conditions such as temperature to study the population of rainbow trout in the area ( use the launch model as an example), Label each interval with temperature range and condition. What Causing Stress in Rainbow Trout Population The optimal range is the amount of an abiotic factor that produces the highest possible population. For water temperature, this would be about 6-10°C. Label this area on the graph. 1. 2. The zone of physiologic stress occurs when an abiotic factor exists at levels that are…
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
Competition with other species helps determine an organisms (a) ecotone (b) fundamental niche (c) realized niche (d) limiting resource (e) ecosystem
When species occupy the same niche, they must compete with each other for limited resources. Check each outcome that is likely to occur in the long-term if two species occupy the same niche. (Select all that apply): O Exclusion of one species from the entire niche, but not the other. OExclusion of both species from the entire niche. Persistence of both species throughout the entire niche. O Division of the niche into two smaller niches, each dominated by a single species. Alternating cycles where one of two species is initially excluded but subsequently becomes dominant, excluding the other.
What is a realized niche? O The environmental conditions in which a species can live. O The environmental conditions in which a species cannot live. The environmental conditions or geographic area where a species does live. O The environmental conditions or geographic area where a species does not live.
Which of the following descriptions about the organization of an ecosystem is correct? O Individuals of the same species are grouped in populations, which make up communities. O Individuals of the same species make up communities, which make up populations. Populations make up species, which make up communities. Communities make up species, which make up populations.
What is a fundamental niche? O The environmental conditions in which a species can live. The environmental conditions in which a species cannot live. O The environmental conditions or geographic area where a species does live. The environmental conditions or geographic area where a species does not live.
An ecological pyramid is a graphical representation of the relationship betweenthe different living organisms at different trophic levels. Explain the threeecological pyramids in detail. What are the shortcomings of each type’secological pyramids in the study of ecosystem?
All of these organisms except for one, belong to the same trophic level. Which one doe not belong? - Fern - Krill - Oak Tree - Phytoplankton - Algae - Grass - Moss
o determine the role of a native starfish species in a coastal ecosystem, zoologist Robert Paine removed starfish from some intertidal pools and not others. He then observed how the community changed in response to the loss of starfish by comparing the diversity of the community in the pools where starfish had been removed to the diversity in pools where he had let the starfish remain. By removing starfish from some pools, what global change driver was Robert Paine investigating? overexploitation pollution climate change invasive species habitat loss
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
