- The per capita growth rate of a population where dispersal is not a factor is expressed as (a) i + e (b) b d (c) dN/dt (d) rN(K N) (e) (K N) KA student decided to collect data to see if he could find support for the IDH in a grassland setting. His data generated the following averages; Low disturbance species richness average 51 ±.53 Intermediate disturbance species richness average 21 ±.61 High disturbance species richness average 31 ± .21 The student also conducted t-tests comparing the groups to each other and ended up with the following p values; Intermediate vs Low Disturbance p= .02 Intermediate vs High Disturbance p=.01 Examine the averages and p-values. Did the student find the pattern predicted by the IDH? Explain your answer.Oaks in California are suffering from a phenomenon called sudden oak death (SOD). This has the potential to convert oak-dominated communities to communities made up of mostly grasses and smaller plants. How would this change the abundances of the tick species described in the article? Make a prediction for each of the three most abundant species, and describe the specific results in this article that justify your prediction.

- Which of the following species interaction types are positive for one participating species, and negative for the other species. Please select all correct answers. a.) Parasitism b.) Amensalism c.) Commensalism d.) Predation e.) MutualismT or F Edge habitat always provides differential access to one habitat type when resources are spatially separated. Birds nesting in edge habitats can be exposed to increased rates of nest predation. Edge habitats often become intermediate between the two adjacent habitats The three general mechanisms by which edge habitats can become different from core habitat include abiotic factors, access and species interactions.Match the invasive species with the appropriate descriptor Since its introduction into Guam, has decimated the local bird population [ Choose ] Kudzu Vine Asian Long Horned Beetle European Rabbit Fossa Monarch Butterfly Asian Carp Dutch Elm Disease Black Rat Burmese Python Asian Tiger Mosquito Fruit Bat Cane Toad Brown Tree Snake Lionfish Estimated to have killed nearly 75% of the species of trees it infected after it was introduced into North America [ Choose ] Kudzu Vine Asian Long Horned Beetle European Rabbit Fossa Monarch Butterfly Asian Carp Dutch Elm Disease Black Rat Burmese Python Asian Tiger Mosquito Fruit Bat…

- CA least tern ENDANGERED ANIMAL is CA least tern questionbases on the bird CA least term Reasons for Endangerment Explain the various factors that have led to this species’ current plight. Expand on these points individually, based on your species’ unique story. Domino Effects As we’ve learned, species are not islands unto themselves; they are integrated with many other organisms in trophic relationships, mutualisms, competition, etc. How is the absence of this species (or its lowered population size) likely to impact the other members of its habitat? (If findings specific to this point are available, please include them – otherwise, I’m asking you to speculate based on what you’ve learned about the biology of this organism.) Conservation Efforts Discuss past, current, and proposed efforts to conserve this species. Are these strategies effective? Are they realistic? What is the outlook for this organism?Match the type of keystone species with the example.

COSEWIC's assessments take into account political, social and economic factors. The Species at Risk Act (2002) established COSEWIC as an advisory body. The committee made its first designation in April 1978 and has met annually since then. Members of COSEWIC are wildlife biology experts from academia, government, non-governmental organizations and the private sector responsible for designating wildlife species in danger of disappearing from Canada.
