A pride of lions stealing a kill from a pack of hyenas is an example of this.
What is interspecific competition?
100
A place with a high population density for a human would usually be this.
What is a city/urban area?
100
This is the number of individuals of a species that the environment can support.
What is carrying capacity?
100
This is the gradual establishment and development of new habitat.
What is primary succession?
200
This is how an organism survives in its environment.
What is an ecological niche?
200
A bald eagle catching a salmon in its talons and eating it is an example of what?
What is predation?
200
Organisms that stick together for safety from predators display this kind of dispersion.
What is clumped dispersion?
200
This is a large decline in a population over a short period of time.
What is a population crash?
200
This is the gradual restoration of habitat after a disturbance or disaster.
What is secondary succession.
300
Populations of organisms adapting to their niche over many generations are displaying this.
What is an evolutionary response?
300
A tapeworm stealing nutrients in the intestines of a cow is an example of this symbiotic relationship.
What is parasitism?
300
An organism that is easily preyed upon early in life, such as a sea turtle, would display this kind of survivorship curve.
What is a type III survivorship curve?
300
From your family's perspective, you would be doing this if you were to leave your home to live elsewhere.
What is emigrating?
300
This is the first species to inhabit a new area.
What is a pioneer species.
400
Two species utilizing the same resource in a different way are displaying what?
What is niche partitioning?
400
Bees collecting nectar and pollen from flowers to make honey, all the while spreading pollen to other flowers is an example of this symbiotic relationship.
What is mutualism?
400
A small mammal, such as a mouse, that is easy food for predators both as an infant and an adult would display what kind of survivorship curve?
What is a type II survivorship curve?
400
This is a growth pattern that starts slow, becomes fast, and eventually reaches a plateau.
What is logistic growth?
400
New rock is formed through this.
What is volcanic activity?
500
This states that no two species may share the same niche.
What is competitive exclusion principle?
500
Whitetail deer going into the rut is an example of this.
What is intraspecific competition?
500
Organisms that must compete with their own species will usually demonstrate this kind of dispersion.
What is a uniform dispersion?
500
A large infestation of ticks, which can be lethal, spreading throughout a deer population is an example of this.
What is a density-dependent limiting factor?
500
Nutrient rich soil is one benefit to this kind of disturbance.
