QUESTIONS 1. What species interactions give rise to uniform distribution pattern? Aggregate? Random? 2. What is the most common type of distribution found in nature? What are the reasons for this? 3. In addition to population distribution, other characteristics of a population include the intrinsic rate of population growth (r) and the carrying capacity (K). Define these two tterms

ENDANGERED ANIMAL is CA least tern bird 1-2 bases on the CA least tern bird 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?

Need help with questions 1,2 and 3 please: 1.) Which of the following statements about environmental resistance is not correct? A.) It is the effect of various factors that influence the growth of a population in an area B.) It includes biotic (density dependent) and abiotic (density independent) factors C.) It allows a population to grow at its biotic potential: D.) It determines the carrying capacity of the habitat concerned . 2.) Identify the statement about per capita growth rate that is not correct. A.) It does not depend on the period for which the population is under consideration. B.) It is used to compare populations of the same species but of different sizes. C.) It is independent of the initial size of population under study. D.) The change in population size can be expressed as the rate of change per individual in terms capita growth rate. 3.) Biotic potential is the highest possible per capita growth rate for a population. Which of the following would limit…
Question:- The speckled warbler is a small, declining, woodland bird that is restricted to intact forest and woodland areas Speckled warblers are sensitive to fragmentation and declining patch size. Of the metrics: spatial configuration, connectivity, and proximity index (IP); which ones would you consider to be most useful in describing the suitability of each landscape for the Speckled warbler? What other factors might you consider when selecting metrics to describe habitat suitably?

Answer true or false 1. Parasitism, once considered a symbiotic relationship, is now considered a form of predation. 2. Dominant species exert less control over the occurrence and distribution of other species. 3. Members of a population engage in intraspecific competition which is a major factor in limiting both fecundity and survivorship. 4. Dominant species are most competitive in exploiting resources 5. Food webs can be simplified by grouping species with similar trophic relationships into broad functional groups
