following habitats is the most diverse?
Habitat A has 15 species total, with approximately equal representation across
all species
Habitat B has 15 species total, and is dominated by two of its fifteen species

- What is meant by interaction that happen among species is diffusearrow_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_forwardWhich of the following regarding species interactions is INCORRECT? a) The net effects of a mutualism on each participant is a fixed characteristic of the interaction, and is rarely influenced by external factors. b) Reciprocal parasitism is an accurate way of describing many mutualistic interactions. c) The Lotka-Volterra competition model accounts for the effects of both interspecific and intraspecific competition.arrow_forward
- Species interactions can be categorized into five different groups. List, define them, and provide an example of each.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about systems theory, as applied in ecology, is incorrect? a) Feedback loops (both positive and negative) are common in ecological systems. b) Components of ecological systems are interconnected c) Ecological systems exhibit emergent properties that are not seen in any individual component in isolation. d) Ecological systems are static in response to changes in any component.arrow_forwardDescribe two interspecific interactions where both species benefit and both species are at a disadvantage. Identify the interaction.arrow_forward
- You are studying two new species that have a mutualistic relationship. How would you determine if the mutualism is facultative or obligate? What types of observational data would you collect and what type of experiment would you conduct?arrow_forwardUsing the community assembly theory, provide a framework or explanation on: How do some exotic species outperform locally-adapted native species? Cite specific example(s).arrow_forwardBased on the data in the table below, determine whether mutualism will evolve in Species 1 and Species 2.
