If these are present in a new environment, a species is unlikely to become invasive.
A. predators, parasites, and competitors
B. cane toads, kudzu, and zebra mussels
C. exotic species
D. symbiotic and commensalist species
A. predators, parasites, and competitors
A niche restricted by competition is a
A. fundamental niche.
B. realized niche.
C. resource partitioned niche.
D. displaced niche.
B. realized niche.
It describes how an organism uses the resources and its functions in an ecosystem.
Niche
It is the relationship in which an organism depends on another causing them harm and even death.
Parasitism
In Madagascar, several species of lemur eat bamboo, but each species specializes in one part of thebamboo—one species eats mature bamboo stalks, one species eats bamboo shoots, and one species eats leaves. This is an example of
A. speciation.
B. resource partitioning.
C. competition.
D. niche partitioning.
B. resource partitioning
A deer browsing on a shrub is an example of
A. predation.
B. parasitism.
C. herbivory.
D. symbiosis.
C. herbivory.
It is the relationship in where two organisms benefit from the relationship.
Mutualism
The ability to survive and reproduce in a changing environment conditions.
Tolerance
Two species of finch live in the same environment. Over time, one develops a larger beak to consume larger seeds, while the other develops a narrow beak to consume more delicate seeds. This is an example of
A. resource partitioning.
B. character displacement.
C. coevolution.
D. competitive exclusion.
A. resource partitioning.
A species with a restricted tolerance for environmental conditions is
A. a specialist.
B. a generalist.
C. highly competitive.
D. an autotroph.
A. a specialist.
It is the process by which an organism feed on other organisms.
Predation
It is the relationship in which an organism is neither harmed or benefitted by the presence of the other.
Commensalism
An interaction in which an individual of one species kills and consumes an individual of another is called
A. predation.
B. parasitism.
C. herbivory.
D. symbiosis.
A. predation.
A species introduced to a new environment without limiting factors could become
____________________.
A. Specialist
B. Invasive
C. Keystone
D. Native
B. Invasive
Interaction where an organism feeds on plants.
Herbivory
When several species shared a resource so every member benefits.
Resource Partitioning
In the western United States, at the southern edge of their range, moose are sometimes so severely infested with ticks that they die. The tick/moose relationship is best described as
A. predatory.
B. parasitic.
C. symbiotic.
D. mutualistic.
B. parasitic.
An organism’s ____________________ describes its use of resources and functional role in a community.
A. Niche
B. Ecosystem
C. Environment
D. Predation
A. Niche
It is a the process by which two organisms develop a lifelong relationship where they depend on each other for survival.
Symbiosis
It is the process by which two species evolve in response to each other changes.
Coevolution
A beehive depends on pollen from flowers to survive. Flowers depend on bees to pollinate them. Humans tend bee hives, offering the bees a place to live in exchange for some of their honey. The relationship among these three sets of organisms is
A. parasitic.
B. commensalist.
C. symbiotic.
D. mutualistic.
D. mutualistic.
