- What trends are shown in the table?arrow_forwardWhat is the relationship between a pioneer species and primary succession? A pioneer species is an invasive species that causes areas to experience primary succession. There is not a relationship between a pioneer species and primary succession. The pioneer species only occurs in areas of secondary succession. A pioneer species is important in an area of primary succession because it can grow and thrive in areas where most other species cannot. A pioneer species only inhabits areas of primary succession.arrow_forwardExotic or non-indigenous species are species that have been transported to new locations by humans, either intentionally (e.g., the ornamental trade, fisheries or aquaculture) or unintentionally (e.g., accidental release of aquarium or pet species), and have established one or more populations in their new location. Exotic species may become invasive species if they expand their range in their novel region and become abundant. The presence of invasive species is of concern because invasive species can have negative effects on the affected ecosystems or commercial interest. Research an invasive species and include the following: Scientific name and common name (if the species has one) The species native region and invaded region Consequences or concerns that the species presents. Potential solutions Include referencesarrow_forward
- Place a species distribution in order from smallest to largest. Group of answer choices Geographic range < Population < Metapopulation Geographic range < Metapopulation < Population Metapopulation < Population < Geographic range Population < Metapopulation < Geographic rangearrow_forwardFour of the following are characteristics that make some species especially vulnerable to ecological and biological extinction. Select the exception. O Low reproductive rates O Small territories Feeds at high trophic level O Narrow distribution Rarearrow_forwardYou arrive on an alien planet and settle down to live there for a long time. There are very few species. Two of the species (A and B) are sometimes common and sometimes rare. When you start keeping track of population changes you discover that the population sizes fluctuate on a regular cycle in close synchrony. Species B always increases first, followed by species A. Which of the following would be the best explanation for what you are seeing? Group of answer choices -Species A is a predator and there is a time lag between changes in the density of its prey and species A's population change -Species A is a predator and it can respond instantly to changes in its prey population -Species B is a predator and there is a time lag between changes in the density of its prey and species B's population change -Species B is a predator and it can respond instantly to changes in its prey populationarrow_forward
- Data shown in this figure describes the species richness of mammals and birds among a variety of Sky islands. Which of the following best fits the correlations represented in the graphs? 1) number of individuals increases with area and decreases with isolation 2) species richness increases with area and decreases with isolation 3) species diversity varies depending on area and isolation? Follow up question which model of species distribution and abundance does this data support? 1) Species area relationship 2) species accumulation curve 3) island-biogeography 4) rapoport’s rulearrow_forwardTwo islands in the Pacific Ocean are of equal size but differ in their distance from the mainland. Island C is 5 km from the mainland, while Island D is 50 km away. According to island biogeography theory, how would the extinction rates on these islands compare and why? Group of answer choices: A. Island D would have higher extinction rates because its greater distance from the mainland makes it harder for species to recolonize after local extinctions, reducing species turnover B. Both islands would have similar extinction rates because island size, not distance from the mainland, primarily determines extinction rates C. Island C would have lower extinction rates due to its smaller distance from the mainland, allowing easier recolonization and rescue effects D. Island C would have higher extinction rates due to its proximity to the mainland, which increases competition and predator pressure from mainland speciesarrow_forwardCA least tern ENDANGERED ANIMAL is CA least tern questionbases on the bird CA least term Reasons for Endangerment Explain the various factors that have led to this species’ current plight. Expand on these points individually, based on your species’ unique story. Domino Effects As we’ve learned, species are not islands unto themselves; they are integrated with many other organisms in trophic relationships, mutualisms, competition, etc. How is the absence of this species (or its lowered population size) likely to impact the other members of its habitat? (If findings specific to this point are available, please include them – otherwise, I’m asking you to speculate based on what you’ve learned about the biology of this organism.) Conservation Efforts Discuss past, current, and proposed efforts to conserve this species. Are these strategies effective? Are they realistic? What is the outlook for this organism?arrow_forward
