Experimental Design
100
Three ways to measure/ describe biodiversity.
What are ecosystem diversity, species diversity, and genetic diversity?
100
The kind of islands that have more biodiversity and why.
What are larger, closer together islands because they are easier to migrate to and have a greater ecosystem diversity?
100
Reasons animals migrate.
What are seasonal differences such as food, water, and mating ability, as well as climate change?
100
Plants that like full sunlight are often part of this stage of succession.
What is early succession?
100
The group that does not experience the experimental variable.
What is the control group?
200
The abundance of individuals within each species.
What is evenness?
200
The relative rate of survival for island populations compared to mainland populations.
What are islands are more prone to extinction?
200
List of natural disruptions to an ecosystem.
What are hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, forest fires, draught, and asteroid impacts?
200
An organism that's functionality is essential to an ecosystem and the food chain would collapse without them.
What is a keystone species?
200
The variable that is measured during the experiment.
What is the dependent variable?
300
The survival of the diverse potato crop indicates this form of biodiversity.
What is Genetic Biodiversity?
300
The Island with the highest biodiversity:
- A: 50m away, 100 m^2
- B: 50m away, 600 m^2
- C: 100m away, 100 m^2
- D: 100m away, 600 m^2
What is Island B?
300
What this adaptation help the moth with.
What is camouflage and protection from predators? (NOT increased predation aka increased energy)
300
The producers that signal the earliest stages of succession.
What are mosses and lichens?
300
The variable that investigators change/ manipulate in an experiment.
What is the independent variable?
400
What happens to the biodiversity of an area after human development.
What is it decreases?
400
How humans can create habitat "islands" on a mainland.
What are building roads, bridges, and urbanization?
400
Organisms that are not related but develop similar characteristics to survive in the same environment.
What is ectomorphs/ co-evolution?
400
A species that first colonizes an area after a disturbance due to their resilience and ability to reproduce.
What are pioneer species?
400
Write a hypothesis for how the amount of pesticide will impact the growth of apple trees.
As the amount of pesticide used increases, the growth of the apple trees will increase?
500
The four categories of ecosystem services with a description of each.
What are
- Provisioning: taking items directly from the natural world
- Regulating: stabilizing air, climate, water, biodiversity, etc.
- Supporting: processes that sustain ecosystems and allow them to sustain life
- Cultural: For human recreation or scientific knowledge ?
500
The zone in which organisms cannot stand the environmental conditions and die.
What is the zone of intolerance?
500
Changes to DNA that happen over long periods of time due to survival of the fittest.
What is evolution?
500
A species that has a very small niche and will be the first to die if the environment changes.
What is a specialist/ indicator species?
500
The variable that goes on the horizontal axis when graphing. 
What is the independent variable?
