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
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
The competitive exclusion principle is best defined as Multiple Choice the competition among individuals of the same species in the same location. the principle that two species that occupy the same niche cannot coexist indefinitely. an interaction between species that enhances the fitness of the exploiting individual while reducing the fitness of the exploited individual. the principle that if an organism allocates energy to one function, such as growth or reproduction, it reduces the amount of energy available to other functions.
The diagram below shows the feeding relationships between the populations of organisms L, M, N, O, P, Q, R and S in an area. M Using only the relationships between the organisms shown in the diagram, which of the populations would have the greatest effect on the amount of available energy if it were removed? population Q O population N O population S O population L P.
Which type of interaction would impact both organisms involved negatively? Choose All That Apply predation O intraspecific competition O commensalism interspecific competition
Species interactions determine an organism's fundamental niche. True False
What level of disturbance allows the greatest coexistence among species? Y At what level of disturbance is interspecific competition the greatest? X Many #Species in Community Few Low X Y Level of Disturbance High N
1) Which of the following defines the niche of a species? The role of a species in its community as well as the conditions it requires and the interactions it takes part in All populations of all species in some area The type of environment in which a species lives The number of species and their relative abundance within a community 2) Which of the following is an example of a biological factor that can affect community structure? Tropical regions support a high species diversity by receiving the most sunlight energy. The high temperatures of desert regions limit which species can live there. A plant species can live only in regions with a suitable level of rainfall. An insect herbivore inhibits the population growth of a tree species. 3)Which of the following prey defensive adaptations involves two or more prey species coming to resemble one another? Camouflage Startle displays…
Which of the following would be considered density-independent factors that could affect the growth of a population? O drought food O disease O predation O parasitism 2 pts
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

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.
