Natural Selection and Evolution
This happens on the individuals where adaptation happens to the population.
What is acclimation?
An example of this relationship is Lichen is made up of fungus and algae. The fungus provides the structure and the algae provides the nutrients through photosynthesis.
What is a mutualism?
A panda is this type of species. (2 types)
What is a specialist and endemic?
These are examples of limiting factors of which there can be many. Name 3.
nutrients/food supply, water supply, mates, temperature, dissolved oxygen, space, light, disease
Lichen and moss are these type of species.
What are pioneer species?
This is an adaptation that results when a non-toxic species tends to look like a toxic species.
What is batesian mimicry?
When the interaction between two species is negative.
What is competition?
This is the size of the fundamental niche compared to the realized niche.
What is larger?
This is the zone where most of the species will die?
What is zone of intolerance?
Succession after a fire is considered this type of succession.
What is secondary succession?
An example is when a cheetah gets faster and the gazelle gets faster over many populations
What is co-evolution
This type of species keeps all the other species in check for a food web. It is critical to the web.
What is a keystone species?
This is an effective way to reduce intraspecies competition.
What is dispersing of young, dispersing seeds by wind, partitioning of resources between juveniles and adults?
This is the middle range where most species are successful
What is the optimal range?
This is an example of it: Hawthorn and apple maggot flies - Apple maggot flies originally only laid eggs on hawthorn apples, but now lay eggs on both hawthorn apples and other domestic applies in the United States. As a result, there are now hawthorn flies and apple flies that do not tend to interbreed
What is sympatric speciation?
What is parasitism?
This happens when two different species want to share the same space and they may divide it up - one lives in the top of the forest and one lives at the base.
What is resource partitioning?
This is the zone where the species is experiencing stress
What is the zone of physiological stress?
The more resilient a community is the more ___________ it is. Which means .. . ,
What is more complex, which means it has more species on each trophic level?
This type of selection is when the trait at either end of the species is selected for.
What is disruptive selection?
A kangaroo is this type of species (name 2).
What is endemic and a generalist?
This is the idea that two species cannot exist in the same area, one will outcompete the other.
What is the competitive exclusion principle?
This is the one factor that controls how a species is distributed in an ecosystem
What is a critical factor?
The cycling of water in an ecosystem is a __________ value and _________________ service.
What is instrumental and regulating?
