11. The ecological niches of three bird species are shown in the accompanying diagram. What is the advantage of each bird species having a different niche? Cape May warblers feed in the upper area of the tree. Bay-breasted warblers feed in the middle of the tree. Yellow-rumped warblers feed in the lower part of the tree. 1. As the birds feed higher in the tree, available energy increases. 2. More abiotic resources are available for each bird. 3. Predators are less likely to feed on birds in a variety of locations. 4. There is less competition for food.

Select all of the statements that are reasonable interpretations of this figure regarding the role of invertebrates in leaf decomposition in a stream? 100% Leaf mass remaining (percent) (b) 75 50 25 0 ! Beech ! Oak Sycamore Without invertebrates With invertebrates Relyes, Ecology, 9e, 0 2021 W. H. Freeman and Company It seems that overall, invertebrates increase the rate of decomposition and energy flow through the food web about 20% when they are present ✓ Decomposition rates vary among species ✓ There are physical and chemical characteristic of oak and beech leaves that cause them to decompose slower than elm trees It seems that overall, invertebrates decrease the rate of decomposition and energy flow through the food web about 20% when they are present ✔ Oak leaves would probably last longer as mulch than elm leaves

28. Which of the following is an accurate statement about ecosystems? a. Energy is recycled through the trophic structure. b. Energy is usually captured from sunlight by primary producers, passed to secondary producers in the form of organic compounds, & lost to detritivores as heat. c. Chemicals are recycled between the biotic and abiotic sectors, whereas energy makes a one way trip through the food web and is eventually dissipated as heat. d. There is a continuous process by which energy is lost as heat, and chemical elements leave the ecosystem through runoff. e. A food web shows that all trophic levels may feed off each other.
