Textbook Question
Chapter 54, Problem 4TYK
Two species, A and B, occupy adjoining environmental patches that differ in several abiotic factors. When species A is experimentally removed from a portion of its patch, species B colonizes the vacated area and thrives. When species B is experimentally removed from a portion of its patch, species A does not successfully colonize the area. From these results you might conclude that
- a. both species A and species B are limited to their range by abiotic factors.
- b. species A is limited to its range by competition, and species B is limited by abiotic factors.
- c. both species are limited to their range by competition.
- d. species A is limited to its range by abiotic factors, and species B is limited to its range because it cannot successfully compete with species A.

- NOTE: The image you need to see in order to answer this question is attachedA developer owns the property encompassing the three habitats above. By law, one of the habitats must be left intact to satisfy the zoning laws. The developer works with an environmental engineer to choose which of the habitats should be saved. The environmental engineer suggests that Site C should be saved. Which of the following choices best justifies this decision?Responses A) Site C has greater species richness and species evenness than either Site A or Site B. This will promote the maximum sustainability for future generations of animals. B) Site C is tied with Site A for greatest species richness, but unlike Site A, it has representative species from all 3 of the sites within it. C) Site C not only contains the greatest number of species, it also has the greatest genetic diversity within each species. D) Site C has more unique species in it than either Site A or Site Barrow_forwardLet's assume that you are given some additional data to calculate the effect of one of the invading species, Rudbeckia laciniata, on community species richness and species diversity, but in this case the data are from plots in the native range of Rudbeckia (i.e., North America).

Species A has likely been adequately sampled. b) Species A always has a lower species richness than Species B. c) Species B has likely been adequately sampled. d) Species B always has a lower species richness than Species A.arrow_forwardAccording to the competitive exclusion principle, two species cannot exist together if they occupy the same niche. Either they diverge their niches so they can coexist or one species will die out.All of the following are consistent with the principle of competitive exclusion EXCEPT Select one: a. Birds and bats both consume flying insects, but birds are active in the day and bats are active at night. b. Two species that share the same niche will exclude other competing species. c. Different bird species forage for insects in different parts of the same tree. d. When two species of Paramecium are grown in the same medium, one strain will eventually eliminate its competitor.arrow_forward
- Consider an ecological network consisting of three interconnected habitats (A BCA). Ecologists want to model the occupancy dynamics of a particular species "Species" across these habitats over time using a discrete time discrete state stochastic process. State Space: State 0: Species X is absent from all habitats. State 1: Species X is present in Habitat A State 2 : Species X is present in Habitat B. State 3: Species X is present in Habitat C. State 4: Species X is present in Habitats A&B State 5: Species X is present in Habitats A&C. State 6: Species X is present in Habitats B&C. State 7: Species X is present in All Habitats. Transition Probabilities: Rule 1: The probability of colonizing an adjacent habitat is 0.2. Rule 2: The probability of extinction from a habitat is 0.15.
