You are studying the population dynamics of an algae species that recently invaded a lake. You measured the amount of algae in the lake the time of the invasion and then for six years afterward (shown in green dots below). You also conducted experiments showing there are enough nutrients entering this lake to support a population density of 200 cells per mm- of algae, marked below as a dashed orange line labeled K. Based on your data, you want to predict how large the algae population will be in the future, assuming no major environmental fluctuations. Here, population density can be modeled in the same manner as population size. 1. what would you assume the algae population density will be 20 additional years in the future, assuming no environmental changes occur? __cells/mm^2
Which of the following statements best represents the productivityhypothesis regarding species richness?a. The larger the area, the greater the number of species that will befound there.b. Temperate regions have a lower species richness due to the lack oftime available for migration after the last Ice Age.c. The number of species in a particular community is directly relatedto the amount of available energy.d. As invertebrate productivity increases, species richness will increase.e. Species richness is not related to primary productivity.
Which of the following methods will provide information to an ecologist about both the size and density of a population? a. mark and recapture b. mark and release c. quadrat d. life table
INTERPRET DATA Examine the top and middle graphs in Figure 54-5. Are these examples of exponential or logistic population growth? Where is K in each graph? (You may need to refer to Chapter 53 to answer these questions.) RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The top and middle graphs show how each species of Paramecium flourishes when grown alone. The bottom graph shows how they grow together, in competition with each other. In a mixed culture, P. aurelia outcompetes P. caudatum, resulting in competitive exclusion. SOURCE: Adapted from G.F. Gause, The Struggle for Existence (Williams and Wilkins, Baltimore, 1934). Figure 54-5 G.F. Gauses classic experiment on interspecific competition

As a field researcher interested in comparing communities in a stream habitat, what data will you need to collect if you are interested in comparing how species occurrence and abundance differ in different parts of the stream? Explain
A group of ecologists want to test if an industrial effluent affects the diversity of aquatic invertebrates in a river. To do this, they compare the community of aquatic invertebrates between two sites: one upstream of the effluent and one downstream of the effluent. Which variable should they calculate to compare the diversity of the two communities of invertebrates? The carrying capacity of the river The net reproductive rate The Shannon Index The gross primary productivity of the river The instantaneous rate of growth
Plot survivorship curves for all three species illustrated in Table 1 on a single graph. Label the axes and provide a clear legend convert it and make use of legend, so for the first species it would be 6months=1unit, then for the second species 1yr=1unit, and the third species would be 50yrs=1unit
