100
This is the type of curve typical of r-selected species
What is Type III?
100
These are the three levels of biodiversity
What are genetic, species, and ecosystem?
100
The biodiversity of this size island and distance from the mainland would likely be low
What is small and far from the mainland?
100
A group of individuals of the same species living in the same place at the same time
What is a population?
100
A volcanic eruption would lead to this type of succession
What is primary succession?
200
This is the type of curve typical of K-selected species
What is Type I?
200
The number of species present in an area
What is species richness?
200
There are usually more resources available on these sized islands
What are large islands?
200
What is exponential growth?
200
When a disturbance leaves soil intact, this type of succession occurs
What is secondary succession?
300
This is the type of curve for the animal shown here
What is Type I?
300
The relative abundance of the species present in an area
What is evenness?
300
Specialists are likely to evolve on islands of this relative size
What is small islands?
300
The maximum number of individuals an ecosystem can support
What is carrying capacity (K)?
300
The first species to colonize after a disturbance are known as this
What are pioneer species?
400
An organism that has a cyclical boom and bust population curve would likely have this type of survivorship curve
What is Type III?
400
These are two indices that account for both the number of species present and their relative population sizes
What are Shannon and Simpson?
400
Large islands close to the mainland are more likely to have multiple species at the same trophic level, a condition known as this
What is trophic redundancy?
400
Fast-growing, early maturity, and high reproductive output
What is r-selected?
400
Hundreds of years after a disturbance, when an area has recovered, the community is known as this
What is a climax community?
500
On the survivorship curves, this is what the y-axis represents
What is percent survival?
500
This is currently the biggest threat to biodiversity
What are humans?
500
This is one way individuals can arrive to an island from a mainland
What is <answers vary>?
500
A life history that often involves parental care of its offspring
What is K-selected?
500
After a glacier retreats, these primary producers are the first to colonize the barren rock
What are lichens and mosses?
