Match the approach to protection with the example from the academic literature. Species approach Hotspot approach Ecosystem approach 1. Wolf reintroductions into the Yellowstone environment restored riparian species and increased biodiversity because wolves controlled the numbers of elk and coyotes which allowed plants, beaver, and foxes to rebound (Ripple and Beschta 2003). 2. The creation of a reserve protects the red-brown treecreeper (Climacteris picumnus). This approach looks to accommodate processes that threaten species viability, such as fragmentation and feral predators (Nicholson et al. 2013). 3. Species richness of tiger beetles, Cicindelidae, is positively correlated with bird and butterfly diversity across North America, Australia, and the Indian subcontinent (Reid, 1998).
F5 Which option below most likely describes the nature of the pollutant and the trophic levels of each of the three species? 5 Pollutant Concentration (ng/g) 30- O Black squares represent a primary producer, red triangles an herbivore, and blue circles a predator. The pollutant is biomagnifying in the community. Blue circles represent a primary producer, black squares an herbivore, and red triangles a predator. The pollutant is biomagnifying in the community. Red triangles represent a primary producer, blue circles an herbivore, and black squares a predator. The pollutant is causing eutrophication of the lake. Red triangles represent a primary producer, black squares an herbivore, and blue circles a predator. The pollutant is neither biomagnifying nor causing eutrophication.

About adaptation planning, which of the following sentences are true? Select two or more: An adaptation plan identifies the most effective adaptation measures that strive to fulfil the adaptation needs for a particular production system. Risk assessment evaluates the impacts of climate change in terms of their likelihood to occur and severity of the consequences, while vulnerability assessment describes the extent to which a production system or its characteristics are susceptible to or unable to cope with the impacts of climate change. The adaptation measures identified during the adaptation planning process will be implemented by fishers and fish farmers only. Prior to the stakeholder meeting, the entity leading the adaptation planning process needs to make sure that there is no similar climate adaptation planning ongoing or finalized.
Q1.12. A disturbance is any relatively discrete event in time that does which of the following? A. Disrupts ecosystem, community or population structure B. Changes resources, substrate availability, or the physical environment C. Facilitates succession Both A and B
Q5.7. If you removed all the Lions from a large area of savanna, which of the following is an INDIRECT effect that could be explained by the diagrams? Submit Q5.8. Community ecologists believe that species that consume dominant competitors are important for maintaining diversity, as you've seen in this tutorial. Based on this idea and the diagrams above, which single consumer species is most likely to be important for maintaining plant diversity within the African savanna? Gazelles Zebras O An increase in the Cheetah population size A decrease in the Cheetah population size An increase in the Gazelle population size A decrease in the Gazelle population size O O Elephants All are equally likely.

Q2.21. Which of the following statements about intraspecific competition is FALSE? If a population's resources were truly unlimited, intraspecific competition would be maximized. Intraspecific competition occurs between members of the same species competing for resources. Intraspecific competition can affect mortality rates within an overcrowded population. Most real-world populations experience intraspecific competition at some point.

Determine if each statement is correct or incorrect: 1. Ecosystems with fewer numbers of species tend to be less stable. 2. Increasing numbers of species lead to more redundancy which is bad for the ecosystem. 3. More species mean more niche separation. 4. Species with a low resistance will also have low resilience. 5. Disturbances to ecosystems can be both naturally occurring and human caused. 6. Stresses to ecosystems are useful for removing weaker species and ensuring the strongest survive. 7. Bringing non-native species into an area to increase biodiversity makes the ecosystem more stable.

Q2.20. Which of the following statements about proxy reconstructions is true? Proxy reconstructions focus on how temperatures have varied since thermometers became available. Tree-ring reconstructions assume trees grow slower when it is warm and wet. Proxy reconstructionsuggest today's climate is about the same as it was in the past. There is reasonable agreement among reconstructions made from different proxies. Submit
About adaptation plans, which of the following sentences are NOT true? Select two or more: In the existence of a sector-specific adaptation plan for fisheries and aquaculture, it becomes less relevant for the sector to be included in a broader adaptation planning process. The mainstreaming of fisheries and aquaculture issues in national adaptation processes is improving but often remains incomplete and superficial. The mainstreaming of fisheries and aquaculture issues in national adaptation processes has been successfully completed due to global efforts in compliance with the Paris Agreement. It is necessary to have a sector-specific adaptation plan for fisheries and aquaculture.
