You are comparing species diversity between four different habitats: which of the following habitats is the most diverse?

Based on island biogeography theory, how is diversity expected to vary among different islands?   a)Larger islands that are further from mainland will have relatively high diversity b)Smaller islands that are closer to mainland will have relatively high diversity c)Larger islands that are closer to mainland will have relatively high diversity d)Smaller islands that are further from mainland will have relatively high diversity

Which of the scenarios below illustrate(s) a trade off relating to functional diversity and life history traits? Select all that apply A- The C3 photosynthetic pathway is more energy efficient than C4 and CAM, but less water efficient.   B-Plants that produce large seeds generally produce very few, while plants that produce small seeds generally produce many of them.   C- Indices of species diversity rely both on species richness and species evenness, but not on species relatedness   D- Endothermic animals are better able to maintain their preferred body temperature than ectothermic animals, but expend a large amount of metabolic energy to do so.   E- Organisms that specialize on a single food source may use that resource more efficiently than generalists, but risk starvation if unable to find their particular food source.

Imagine you have 3 separate plots each seeded with 3 species, a ruderal, a competitor, and a stress tolerator. Plot A is desert-like with a harsh but stable environment. Plot B has a more moderate climate and better soil but is located on a steep angle and frequently experiences weathering and mudslides. Plot C is also located in a moderate climate with good soil and lacks the frequent disturbances of plot B. Which answer choice correctly identifies where each species would be most successful? Group of answer choices   A: Ruderal, B: Competitor, C: Stress tolerator   A: Ruderal; B: Stress tolerator, C: Competitor   A: Competitor, B: Stress tolerator, C: Ruderal   A: Stress tolerator, B: Ruderal, C: Competitor   A: Stress tolerator, B: Competitor, C: Ruderal
