Life, death, and life histories
100
The position of a species within an ecosystem, describing both the range of conditions necessary for persistence of the species, and its ecological role in the ecosystem.
Ecological niche
100
A symbiotic relationship between two species in the biological world that is dependent and beneficial to both parties.
Mutualism
100
Organisms that maintain a constant body temperature independent of the environment, regulating body temperature through metabolism
Endotherm
100
Shrubs or trees growing along the coasts of tropical and subtropical seas and rivers or at the intersections of seas and rivers serve many ecological functions.
Mangrove
100
Optimize the balance between the energy expended in acquiring food and the energy gained from foods
Optimal foraging strategy
200
A species that has a significant impact on its community or ecosystem, such that its removal leads to major changes
Keystone species
200
The process where two or more species evolve together due to their close ecological interactions
Coevolution
200
Name three environmental conditions
Temperature, precipitation, humidity, pH, salinity, wind/waves/currents

What is the name of Taiwan's only living endemic feline?
The leopard cat! 
Prionailurus bengalensis
200
Evolution from an ancestral clade into widely diverse forms
Adaptive radiation
300
The set of conditions in which a species is able to lives, rather than the entire set of environmental conditions where they are able to live
Realized niche
300
Shift in temperature response of an individual after exposed to lower/ higher temperatures
Acclimatization
300
The conceptual boundaries that limit where an organism can live, grow, and reproduce
Ecological niche
300
The type of competition that describes organisms indirectly competing with other organisms for resources by limiting the resources availability to others
Exploitation competition
300
The population estimation method consisting of obtaining, tagging, releasing, and then searching again for individuals within a population
Capture recapture
400
When two forms can mate and produce fertile offspring
Biological species concept
400
The name of the mechanism that caused the polymorphism in the body color of the pepper moth
Mannmade selection pressure
400
Name three characteristics of a species that temperature can impact
Body size, gender, distribution, development rate
400
A competition type in which organisms directly compete for resources, such as by aggression
Interference competition
400
The type of individual in which development timing and form strongly depend on interactions with the environment
Modular organism
500
Ehe occurrence of two or more clearly different forms (or phenotypes) in the population of a species occupying the same habitat at the same time
Polymorphism
500
BONUS
What is the name of Professor Chou’s study organism?
Fiddler crabs!
500
The principle that tells us that two species can't have exactly the same niche in a habitat and stably coexist
Competitive exclusion principle
500
When different species in an ecosystem divide the available resources to avoid direct competition
Resource partitioning
500
The five parameters used to describe, explain and understand the distribution and abundance of organisms
(hint: the four 'N' in population equation)
Past population, births, deaths, emmigration, immigration
