How would you characterize the niches of sympatric canid species such as red fox, coyote, and wolf in North America? Or felids, such as ocelots, pumas, and jaguars in South America?

- Which statement about dispersal is false?(A) Dispersal is a common component of the life cycles ofplants and animals.(B) Colonization of devastated areas after floods or volcaniceruptions depends on dispersal.(C) Dispersal occurs only on an evolutionary time scale.(D) The ability to disperse can expand the geographic distribution of a species.arrow_forwardWhich of the following situations has revealed that mutualistic interactions can evolve from prior parasitic relationships? A. Yucca plants are pollinated only by moths of the genus Tegeticula; however, some of the moth species 'cheat" by laying eggs on seeds without pollinating the plant. B. Large-sized lice of the genus Columbicola tended to live on larger species of pigeons. Body size matching had a significant effect on the ability of lice to escape defensive preening by the host bird. C. The nonvenomous yellow-eyed salamander has the same coloration as the toxic California newt. Related nontoxic salamanders which do not mimic the newts are prone to attacks by predators. D. Glochidion trees and Epicephala moths are in an obligate mutualism with each other. Significant cospeciation led to an increase in diversity of the two species.arrow_forwardThe reproductive isolating mechanism in which two closely related species live in the same geographic area but reproduce at different times is (a) temporal isolation (b) behavioral isolation (c) mechanical isolation (d) gametic isolation (e) hybrid inviabilityarrow_forward

- The Hardy–Weinberg principle may be applicable if (a) the population size is small (b) migration occurs only at the beginning of the breeding season (c) mutations occur at a constant rate (d) matings occur exclusively between individuals of the same genotype (e) natural selection does not occurarrow_forwardWhich of the following statement is incorrect about the two broad classes of explanation of interspecific distribution abundance relationships? (a) The first class postulates the existence of a positive feedback between local abundance and the regional distribution of a species. (b) Species that occur in large number across many localities will be more likely to maintain their wide distribution and high abundance. (c) Consequence of positive feedback is that there is no dichotomy. (d) The consequence of positive feedback is that there is dichotomy, species will be either widespread or abundant or they will be restricted and scarce. This division helps in the knowledge and in turn helps to categorize them accordingly as restricted or widespread species.arrow_forwardExplain why you chose A or B, etc. Provide a logical explanation defending your answer choice.
