- This type of species isolation is being used during allopatric speciation. Group of answer choices: A- behavioral B- habitat C- gametic D- mechanical Please give me the answer along with the reason. I'll definitely give a like.arrow_forwardThe following is a matching question, below is text interepreted.Match each term to the best definition or description. ResiliencySpecies richnessBiodiversityGamma diversity words to match it with: number of species in an environment, considers number of habitats and total species number among them, combination of species richness and species eveness, same as species eveness, high probability of recovery to original state, high probability of disruption.If you do not understand the text based question, use the image below.arrow_forwardAccording to the morphological species concept, would you classify benthics and limnetics as A) a single species B) separate species C) the species status is not clear according to this species concept. Explain in 2-3 sentences. (I think the answer is separate species, not sure how to explain this...)arrow_forward
- Which species concept is based on reproductive isolation? Group of answer choices A. biological B. morphological C. ecological D. phylogeneticarrow_forwardFor the the organisms Orchard Spider and Allies What is the geographic distribution of each species? Is it native or invasive? indicate where it is native and if it is not native, indicate where its native range is. Write a short description of each organisms’ life history (no more than three sentences for each one). Life history facts include diet, behavior, breeding, habitat etc. After reading about the life history of the three species you are focusing on it should be relatively simple to isolate what you find most interesting about them. Write a short description about what you find most interesting about all three species you are focusing on (no more than four sentences for each species).arrow_forwardOf the following taxonomic categories which is the most inclusive (i.e. is the highest in hierarchy)? A. Order B. Subspecies C. Class D. Genusarrow_forward
- What notion is common in the definitions of morphological,phylogenetic and biological species concept and why do species definitions matter in conservation biologyarrow_forwardA biological speciesa. always looks different from other species.b. always has a different chromosome number than other species.c. is reproductively isolated from other species.d. never occupies the same ecological niche as other species.arrow_forwardWhy is species definition matter in conservation biology?arrow_forward
- The primary mechanism of sympatric speciation is a)dispersal and colonization of new environments b)arrow_forwardMany endemic species are found in areas that are geographically isolated. Suggest a plausible scientific explanation for why this is so.arrow_forwardWhat is a species, according to the biological species concept? Using at least 3 examples, please explain why this definition is not always practical for all species.arrow_forward
