Density dependence is most commonly tested by examining the relationship between the ____________________ and ________________ either observationally or experimentally. Population growth rate and population density Individual demographic rates and population growth rate Population growth rate and mortality rate Mortality rate and population density 4. Density dependent factors are usually both abiotic and biotic variables biotic variables abiotic variables biological variables 5. Deserts are among the harshest habitats on Earth. Which of the following animals do NOT have a habitat in a desert? Gila monster Cheetah Roadrunner Burrowing owl 6. Determining the effects of climate change on communities and ecosystems is difficult because the effects are likely to be highly variable and this may be especially true for what kind of ecosystems? Terrestrial Grasslands Deserts Marine 7. Eighty million tons of nitrogen every year are fixed artificially by industry to be used as fertilizer the excessive use of nitrogen fertilizers can lead to all of the following EXCEPT nutrient overload excessive sulfur emissions eutrophication smog 8. Evolution builds on the past and therefore is often constrained by it and selection often involves ___________ and compromises. function potential trade-offs expression 9. External and internal factors continuously threaten to disrupt homeostasis. When this occurs appropriate _________________________ are initiated to restore these conditions responsive acts opposing behaviors measured responses habitat reactions 10. Feathers and fur provide ____________ by trapping a layer of air between the skin and the external environment a loss of which could lead to hypothermia. Protection Security Insulation Cover 11. For many animals acclimatization involves switching to a state of dormancy such as ________________ by a small mammal in which body temperature falls dramatically. Sleep Torpor Estivation Hibernation 12. Fragmented habitats are those that Were once separated but are now joined Support larger populations Support smaller populations Are set of mechanisms leading to that state of discontinuity. 13. Global __________________ cycles consist of the transport and transformation of substances in the environment through life air sea land and ice. geochemical biochemical biogeochemical carbon 14. Globally which one of the following is NOT one of the biggest causes of habitat destruction? Mining Logging Agriculture Predators 15. Globally which one of the following is the biggest cause of habitat destruction? Mining Logging Trawling Agriculture 16. Habitat loss in which of the following habitat type has historically been low? alpine regions grasslands boreal forests deserts 17. Habituation is the simplest and perhaps most common type of behavior in many different animals. Which of the following is the BEST definition of habituation? It produces changes in the behavior of an individual that are due to experience. It involves a waning or decrease in response to repeated or continuous stimulation. It involves making associations without immediate reinforcement or reward. The animal uses cognitive or mental processes to associate experiences and solve problems. 18. Higher water and air temperatures are lethal to temperature-sensitive species. Which one of the following is an example of such specie? Sea turtles Polar bear Salmon Pandas 19. How is the concept of carrying capacity used in Conservation management? Resources in any given habitat can support only a certain quantity of wildlife. Carrying capacity is number of animals habitat can support all year long. Wildlife managers job is to maintain number of animals in a habitat at or below habitats carrying capacity, so no damage is done to the animals or to their habitat. The carrying capacity is a measure of human demand on the Earths ecosystems, the amount of natural capital used each year. 20. Humans and wildlife often converge on and compete for the same habitat because both require similar environmental conditions for: Growth. Survival. Diversity. Management. Loading … Question 1 of 20
