Can you please help find the answer that is reasonable base on this chart?
The "principle of tolerance limits".. relates species abundance and distribution to the physiological tolerance of the organism. defines the realized niche of an organism. can explain why more tolerant species face reduced risks of extinction. states that a species' tolerance to competition will limit the dispersion of individuals within a population.
Predation influences demography and individual fitness in some ecological settings. Discuss scenarios where predation play an important ecological role nad others where it appears to be less importany
What is accurate about the nature of competition between species? Choose All That Apply O it takes energy away from other functions of the organisms involved Otraits that reduce competition are generally selected for it is less intense the more the niches overlap overtime it could potentially result in resource partitioning
When r is a positive number, the population size is (a) stable (b) increasing (c) decreasing (d) either increasing or decreasing, depending on interference competition (e) either increasing or stable, depending on whether the species is semelparous
Give two examples of the benefits gained by theintroduction of nonnative species. Give two examplesof the harmful effects of nonnative species that havebeen introduced deliberately and two examples of thesame for accidentally introduced species. Explain whyprevention is the best way to reduce threats frominvasive species and list four proposed ways to implement this strategy
If two species are close competitors, and one species is experimentally removed from the community, the remaining species would be expected to select the best answer O become the target of specialized parasites expand its realized niche O change its fundamental niche eventually become competitively superior to the other species O decline in abundance
Carrying capacity is the minimum population size of a species that the environment can sustain indefinitely, given food, habitat, water, and other resources available in the environment. the maximum population size of a species that the environment can sustain indefinitely, given food, habitat, water, and other resources available in the environment. O a measurement of the population size of a species per a defined area O a pyramid-shaped model of relationships between organisms in a specific environment
Species A is present in a community. Species B is introduced to the community. Over the next year, the population sizes of both continual decrease from initial numbers. Which one of the following community interactions might be the cause of this decline? Interspecific competition O Intraspecific competition O Mutualism O Parasitism O Predation
In a competitive interaction in which species A has a lower carrying capacity (KA) than species B (KB), it is expected that species ____________________ will go extinct.
Which of the following patterns best describes how species richness changes from the arctic to the tropics? Species richness increases from the arctic to the tropics O Species richness remains the same from the acrtic to the tropics Species richness decreases from the arctic to the tropics Species richness increases, then decreases from the arctic to the tropics O None of these
When species occupy the same niche, they must compete with each other for limited resources. Check each outcome that is likely to occur in the long-term if two species occupy the same niche. (Select all that apply): O Exclusion of one species from the entire niche, but not the other. OExclusion of both species from the entire niche. Persistence of both species throughout the entire niche. O Division of the niche into two smaller niches, each dominated by a single species. Alternating cycles where one of two species is initially excluded but subsequently becomes dominant, excluding the other.
