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

If you compare species richness and evenness along the edge versus in the center of a tree farm and then make the same comparison for a rain forest, what would you expect to find? There would probably be a greater difference in richness but less difference in evenness between the tree farm and the rain forest. There would probably be a greater difference in evenness but less difference in richness between the tree farm and the rain forest. There would probably be about the same difference between the core and the edge in the tree farm versus the rain forest. There would probably be more difference between the core and the edge in the tree farm versus the rain forest. There would probably be less difference between the core and edge in the tree farm versus the rain forest.
