Also called Witch's Hair and Count Dracula Plant, these vines are parasitically clung to their host plant.
What is dodder?
100
Form of interaction where both species benefit, but the interaction is not crucial to their individual survival.
What is facultative mutualism?
100
The chemical response by plants to reduce the competition from competing species.
What is allelopathy?
200
These species tend to invest greatly in child support.
What are k-selected species?
200
The term that refers to a prey relying on cover to avoid predators.
What is refugia?
200
Finches being able to occupy different parts of the Galapagos Island without competition is an example of this concept.
What is niche partitioning?
200
Parasites like this forces infected amphipods to be more vulnerable to ingestion of vertebrate hosts.
What is the spiny-headed worm?
200
This species attaches to sharks and cleans them of parasites.
What are remoras?
200
Commonly known as the Mormon Tea, these plants contains this active compound that is used as a decongestant.
What is ephedrine (alkaloid)?
300
As implied by the graph, when adult survival is high, they tend to delay this.
What is reproduction?
300
The graph refers to this type of response predators have based on prey abundance.
What is predator functional response?
300
C.stellatus being able to occupy the upper and middle intertidal is an example of this niche, but when B.balanoides included, C.stellatus then occupies this type of niche.
What is fundamental niche and realized niche respectively?
300
The following graph reflects this trend of the wildebeest population.
What is population recovery? (When rinderpest virus was removed).
300
These species stopped interacting with corals due to increased water temperatures.
What are zooxanthellae algae?
300
This plant's berries are poisonous to dogs and humans and can result in jaundice, they contain the active compound terpenoids.
What is Lantana (Lantana camara).
400
Identify two reasons predators do not drive prey extinct.
What is refugia, generation time, etc.
400
This model, based on the ratio-dependent functional response, states that prey consumption rate is determined by the ratio between prey population & predator population.
What is the Arditi-Ginzburg Model?
400
Intraspecific competition of species 1 on species 1 is greater than the interspecific competition of species 2 has on species 1.
What is a12<1?
400
These parasites latch onto the intestinal linings of their vertebrate hosts to absorb their nutrients to survive.
What are tapeworms?
400
Sloths host this species that help act as a great source of nitrogen for the algae growing on the sloth's fur.
What are (phoretic) moths?
400
This drug, synthesized from the southeastern pygmy rattlesnake, is used to prevent blood clots for individuals at risk of heart attacks.
What is eptifibatide?
500
The species of this particular life history typically have high fecundity, though low juvenile survival. However, their survival rates increases the more they age.
What is Type-III survivorship?
500
The loss of the blacktip shark population in North Carolina resulted in the increase of this mesopredator and sharp decline of this prey species.
What are rays and scallop respectively?
500
This can happen when intraspecific competition is greater than interspecific.
What is coexistence between two species. Supported by the Lotka-Volterra model.
500
Despite the loss brought about by the rinderpest disease, the disease played a key role in managing cattle population by limiting this behavior.
What is limiting vegetation consumption?
500
The following graph illustrates this benefit from having ants.
