Conservation
Describe the edge habitat
What is less equal habitat due to predators being able to spot prey easier
The study of the complex interrelations. Also give the root words
Exchange of fitness benefits that are separated in time
What is reciprocal altruism?
Difference between a r-selected species and a K-selected species
K-selected: low fecundity, high survivorship
A keystone species
What is a large impact on the surrounding ecosystem and species. Will "collapse" without it.
Why are estuaries popular breeding grounds?
They have good growing conditions because many predators can't thrive in the blend of freshwater and saltwater providing protection for the young
What is polygamy?
The main difference between proximate and ultimate explanations is that proximate explanations focus on:
A: the evolutionary significance of behavior
B: The immediate causes of behavior, like genetic or physiological mechanisms
C: The survival benefits of behaviors
D: Long-term environmental influences
What is B: The immediate causes of behavior, like genetic or physiological mechanisms?
Autoimmune diseases are evolving more quickly because of the lack of what type of predation?
What is parasites. low lethality and high intimacy
The number one cause for biodiversity loss
What is habitat destruction/degradation?
Why are otters a keystone species to kelp forests?
Combination of individuals own offspring and helping relative produce more offspring than they could produce on their own
What is inclusive fitness
A cheetah that runs faster than others in its population catches more prey and has more surviving cubs. This is an example of:
A: Artificial Selection
B: Genetic Drift
C: Adaptive behavior increasing fitness
D: Non-adaptive trait selection
What is C: Adaptive behavior increasing fitness. Running faster helps the cheetah catch more food, survive, and produce more healthy offspring, increasing its biological fitness
Will the bullfrog or the newt win in a competition?
How does Earth experience different seasons
What is the tilt on its axis.
Name 2 types of organisms that can be found in the Neritic zone
What is a kelp forest, coral reef, sea otter, sea urchin?
Write Hamilton's rule
Br>C
Define the term carrying capacity
What is the number of individuals a habitat can support?
Define energy flow
What is the movement of energy through the ecosystem?
Draw a ecosystem after a disturbance that shows low resilience and high resistance
Initial drop and remains steady but doesn't return back
List/draw the 6 marine zones
Give 2 examples of intersexual competition
What is nuptial gift, better color, better courtship display, better dances
Write the formula for logistic growth
What is (dN)/(dt)=rN((K-N)/K)
Who is more poisonous?
A: SD newt
B: CA newt
C: Kerby because he can survive licking a newt
D: The bullfrog
What is B: CA newt because the garter snakes are more evolved and then the newt evolves more toxins as a defense mechanism
