Group 1
Food, freshwater, medicine are all examples.
What are provisioning ecosystem services?
What is an ecosystem’s ability to recover after being disturbed?
Resilience
A region contains many species found nowhere else in the world but has lost much of its original habitat. What would this region likely be classified as?
Biodiversity Hotspots
The type of biodiversity that shows the different traits in one population
What is genetic diversity?
Flood protection, climate regulation, erosion regulation and clean water are all examples of this.
What are regulating services?
A trait that improves an individual's fitness
Adaptation
A forest is divided into small patches by roads and development. Which strategy could help reduce the effects of habitat fragmentation?
What are wildlife corridors?
An African watering hole has more of this than a field in the tundra.
What is species diversity?
What is the range of environmental conditions that an organism can tolerate and survive in called?
Ecological Tolerance
The process of speciation that occurs with geographic isolation
Allopatric Speciation
The study of how species are distributed and interacting on islands
Island Biogeography
The teosinte plant providing pest resistant genes to corn is a direct value of this type of biodiversity.
What is genetic diversity?
What are the three categories of natural disruptions in terms of time?
What is the episodic, periodic, random?
What is the gradual process by which the species composition and structure of an ecosystem change over time called?
Ecological Succession
What conservation strategy involves breeding endangered species in controlled environments to increase their population size?
Captive Breeding
This occurs to biodiversity as we move closer to the tropics.
What is increase?
What happens when a population experiences a sudden, dramatic decrease in size due to a natural disaster, disease, or other event, causing a loss of genetic diversity?
Population Bottleneck
Historically described as the final stage of succession
Climax Community
What does HIPPCO stands for?
Habitat Loss
Invasive Species
Pollution
Population
Climate Change
Overexploitation
