General Science
There are three components of habitat. They are
1) food
2) water
3) ?
What is shelter?
This is the goal of wildlife harvesting.
What is sustaining a population?
This is the maximum number of individuals that an environment can sustain.
What is carrying capacity?
This describes how prey are often distributed across the landscape.
What is clustered?
This is the first step in the scientific method.
What is observation?
This term describes the area in between populations that animals must move through to get to another area of suitable habitat.
What is a habitat matrix?
This type of wildlife control involves keeping animal out of a specific area.
What is exclusion control?
This term describes an interacting group of populations. In other words, how animals move between populations that are geographically close.
What is metapopulation?
There are 4 different categories of predation. They are
1) cannibalism
2) herbivory
3) carnivory
4) ?
What is parasitism?
This is the variable that you are trying to impact in a study.
What is response variable/dependent factor?
This is a term used to describe animals determining where to live based on the threats present in the area.
What is risk-sensitive habitat use?
The following are all types of ____ control.
Exclosures, noise deterrence, UV light, dogs, chemical deterrence.
What is non-lethal control?
This is a method to try and predict whether or not a population is going to survive for a certain amount of time.
What is population viability analysis?
This stable point describes a prey population outgrowing a predator population to the point of carrying capacity.
What is a depensatory stable point?
This term is used to describe the measure of effects via random sampling within part of an area, rather than replicating the experiment entirely.
This is level 2 of Johnson's habitat selection.
What is the individual's home range?
This is a method of harvest in which you change the practice to sustain effort over the year or period of time.
What is fixed-effort harvest?
This is the number one cause of species decline for mammals and birds.
What is habitat loss?
This is the relationship between a specialist predator and its prey. The predator reacts to increases and decreases in the prey population.
What is stable limit cycle?
"Missing an opportunity to improve a population or ecosystem" is the risk involved in a type ___ error.
What is type 2 error?
There are three factors that will determine the use of a corridor. They are:
1) Biology, ecology, and life history of the species
2) Location of the corridor on the landscape
3) ?
What is habitat suitability?
This is what makes fertility control difficult when managing wildlife populations.
What is reapplication/redistribution of treatment?
There are three common causes of population extinction in the wild. They are:
1) Habitat manipulation
2) Overharvest
3) ?
What is introduction of pathogen/competitor/predator?
Tibbles the cat was introduced to Stephens Island with the intention of killing mice. However, Tibbles was allowed to roam and ended up preying upon the Stephens Island Wren to the point of extinction. What is this an example of?
What is secondary prey extinction?
