The Red Queen hypothesis is popular in ecology because it explains well the
interaction between two chess pieces, which is a metaphor for sexual selection among related species
evolutionary arms race between trees and fish, where trees take up nutrients released by dying salmon
evolution of spider web shapes in forests compared to those in grasslands
effect of parasites on host population sizes and therefore effects on competitor species
evolutionary arms race between parasites and hosts
Example: Three birds loved to eat beetles especially the green (female) and the brown (male). But their favorites are the green beetles. Generations later, green beetles have been selected and brown beetles have increased in number.- What are the environmental changes that may cause organisms to adapt, migrate or die?

- The model of metapopulations also postulates that many species occupy their patches only temporarily, that sooner or later they will be eliminated by competition or some other factor. If this is true, would such a patch make a suitable wildlife preserve for that species? Discuss what wildlife managers might have to do with such a preserve.arrow_forwardHow does protecting the biodiversity of an area increases the survival of a species’ population? Use the principles of threats to biodiversity (e.g. overexploitation, habitat loss, invasive species, etc.), species dominance or evenness, and genetics of the species (e.g. inbreeding, mutations, founder effect bottlenecks, etc.). Use a Philippine endemic species as an example in your answer.arrow_forwardSubject (Biology - Ecology) Discuss the relationship of predation in the extinction of some animals.arrow_forward
- In your region, what species are threatened with extinction? Why are they vulnerable? Suggest steps that could be taken to increase their populations.arrow_forwardEvolution: Describe an example of another species that has undergone evolution in response to human-driven changes to its environment.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is not true of an ecological niche?a. A niche includes the physical environment, such as climate and water availability.b. A niche includes predators and parasites.c. Niche overlap may help to drive evolution.d. Two species cannot have overlapping niches.arrow_forward
- Which of the following scenarios best explains how resource partitioning can lead to adaptive radiation? The lack of competition between individuals leads to better survival and reproduction rates. The utilization of different resources requires different adaptations, selecting for different traits. The lack of competition leads to a more balanced ecosystem, resulting in more offspring. There is no connection between adaptive radiation and the resource partitioning in nature.arrow_forwardA section of forest outside of a city is cut down for a housing development. However, the developer goes bankrupt and nothing is built on the site. After a few months, a number of small plants grow up in the lot. They are not species present in the forest before it was cut. After another year a second different set of plants grows up in the lot. The process that is occurring is known as...? Group of answer choices a. Predation b. Ecological Succession c. Biological Magnification d. Evolution e. Survivorshiparrow_forwardA predators can feed on several prey species, but prefer to attack those with the weakest defenses. The same predator may shift to a different prey species that becomes more common or more easily overcome when the previousiy preferred prey had acquired better defenses against the predator. This shifting strategy, known as _____________, results in sequential or alternating bouts of pairwise coevolution between many different species. A. resource shifting B. coevolutionary alternation C. ecological character displacement D. cospeciationarrow_forward
- The island equilibrium model predicts that a small island will be able to support _____ species than a large island because the rate of _____ will be higher due to _____. A. More; extinction; easier dispersal B. More; immigration; easier dispersal C. Fewer; immigration; reduced dispersal D. Fewer; extinction; increased competition E. Fewer; immigration; harder dispersalarrow_forwardWhich of the following best explains the connection between increased competition and the evolution of a species by natural selection? Individuals migrate to another area in order to avoid competition for limited resources in the current ecosystem. Individuals that have traits that allow them to outcompete others survive better and produce more offspring. Individuals must become stronger to compete for resources, and this increased strength is passed on to the next generation. Individuals that must compete for limited resources are more likely to have diseases that cause mutations.arrow_forward. Which of the following represents the permanent loss of a species?a. natural selection c. extinctionb. greenhouse effect d. climate changearrow_forward
