Three types of distribution patterns occur in wild populations of plants and animals. They are uniform, random, and clumped. Choose from the drop down menus the statements and examples of populations provided to identify the correct distribution patterns. Statements: Organisms are grouped together; occurs in highly competitive environments. No pattern exists in organism distribution; occurs in environments with little competition. Organisms are equally spaced apart; occurs in artificial environments. Examples: Orange trees grow in rows on an orange plantation. A large group of herring fish travel to their spawning grounds. Oyster larvae are dispersed over hundreds of kilometres by strong sea currents.

You arrive on an alien planet and settle down to live there for a long time. There are very few species. Two of the species (A and B) are sometimes common and sometimes rare. When you start keeping track of population changes you discover that the population sizes fluctuate on a regular cycle in close synchrony. Species B always increases first, followed by species A. Which of the following would be the best explanation for what you are seeing? Group of answer choices -Species A is a predator and there is a time lag between changes in the density of its prey and species A's population change -Species A is a predator and it can respond instantly to changes in its prey population -Species B is a predator and there is a time lag between changes in the density of its prey and species B's population change -Species B is a predator and it can respond instantly to changes in its prey population

Which one of the following statements is FALSE? Beta diversity is low when two ecosystems share the similar species and respective abundance. An intelligent meander records date, time, location and a list of species. Beta diversity or differentiation diversity compares alpha diversity among several communities. Species richness is the total species abundance in an ecosystem. Inventory diversity can be defined by alpha diversity, which is the number of species in a local forest stand.
You have been researching the biodiversity of different species of lizards in the Florida Everglades. You select a one square acre plot of land and begin tagging and counting the different reptiles found in that area over 6 months. After 6 months of research, you collected the following data: Species Count Green Anole 16 Brown Anole 72 American Alligator 3 Burmese python 2 Corn Snake 9 Eastern Glass Lizard 8 Use the blanks below to answer the following questions: 1. What is the biodiversity index of the one acre lot observed? 2. If you collected the same information for a second square acre 10 miles away and determined that acre to have a biodiversity index of 0.37, would you consider the first area to be biologically diverse and why or why not? 3. What do you think is suppressing biodiversity in the first acre counted? a b c

New Zealand snapper populations were found to be under the influence of genetic drift, suggesting overfishing was still an issue for them, despite the New Zealand fisheries estimating their total population size to be over 3 million. Which of the following is the best explanation for this observation? A) Pelagic fish, like the New Zealand snapper, often only have a few reproductive individuals, therefore their effective population size is actually much smaller than the total population size. B) Pelagic fish, like the New Zealand snapper, often have an equal sex ratio which affects the number of breeding individuals. C) Pelagic fish, like the New Zealand snapper, often have disassortative mating which affects the number of breeding individuals. D) Pelagic fish, like the New Zealand snapper, often have assortative mating which affects the number of breeding individuals.
