Which of the following statements about the concept of ecological niche is correct? A species' realized niche, may or may not be the same as its fundamental niche The fundamental niche of a species includes biotic and abiotic factors while the realized niche only includes biotic factors A species' fundamental niche is always smaller than its realized niche A niche is the same as a habitat
In some marine habitats in New England, the population density of lobsters has been depleted due to heavy fishing. When this happens, it often follows that the diversity of species in the biological communities is reduced. Based on this observation, how would you characterize lobsters? a keystone organism a decomposer a crustacean a superior predator a producer The composition of a community refers to the nutrients available in the soil. type of succession that occurs locally. sunlight available to drive the energy needed for metabolism. extent vegetation covers the ground--a desert has low composition. types of species adapted to living there. Small fish sometimes swim very close to large predatory fishes such as sharks. There is no risk since the shark does not feed on these smaller fish. The small fish are able to eat the remains of prey such as seals that the shark rips apart when eating.…
As related to ecosystem services which term is accurate match for direct service 1- the benefits humans receive from ecosystem processes 2- a product from the ecosystems biodiversity 3- the monetary value of a product
What is the difference between primary succession and secondary succession? Primary succession occurs when a new species is discovered within an already established species. Secondary succession occurs when a new species invades an area and destroys the species already inhabited there. Primary succession occurs when an area has never supported an ecosystem. Secondary succession occurs when an area has supported an ecosystem but has been cleared of everything except for topsoil. Primary succession occurs when an area has supported an ecosystem but has been cleared of everything except for topsoil. Secondary succession occurs when an area has never supported an ecosystem. Primary succession occurs when an area has supported an ecosystem and an invasive species takes over the area. Secondary succession occurs when an area has never supported an ecosystem and an invasive species takes over the…
Important disturbances that change alter the sequence of ecological succession include all of the following factors EXCEPT: Question 16 options: - storms - fires - droughts - floods - all of the above are significant disturbances that can affect ecological succession.
A conservation organization has hired you to lead efforts to reduce the loss of biodiversity in a tropical country. Which of the following problems would you focus on first and why: habitat destruction and fragmentation, hunting and fishing activity, harvesting of wild species for commercial sale, or introduction of exotic organisms?
Compare and contrast the 2 pictures using the following vocabulary (pioneer species, decay, soil, abiotic factor, biotic factors, climax community, primary and secondary succession, producers, consumers, and periods of time).
Create a food web and Trophic Pyramid for an identified ecosystem. Only drawings Requirements: Identify your ecosystem (desert, rainforest, artic, etc) Food Web - 1. at least 15 organisms 2. 5 levels represented 3. Correct arrow movement 4. Circle an organisms that you believe will have an impact of the web if it went extinct Pyramid - 1. draw and label 2. Use examples from the web for the levels 3. Include the rule of 10
What is the relationship between a pioneer species and primary succession? A pioneer species is an invasive species that causes areas to experience primary succession. There is not a relationship between a pioneer species and primary succession. The pioneer species only occurs in areas of secondary succession. A pioneer species is important in an area of primary succession because it can grow and thrive in areas where most other species cannot. A pioneer species only inhabits areas of primary succession.
