14805246751PopulationA group of individuals that belong to the same species and live in the same area.0
14805251738Environmental and Social FactorsPopulations disperse in a variety of ways that are influenced by ____________1
14805265999Uniform Distributionresults from intense competition or antagonism between individuals2
14805268801Random Distributionoccurs when there is no competition, antagonism, or tendency to aggregate3
14805272058Clumpingthe most common distribution because environmental conditions are seldom uniform4
14805283035Mechanism Against Predation & Efficient Mechanism to trap or corner preyClumped distribution in species acts as a ____________________ as well as a _________________. It has been shown that ______ packs of animals tend to have a _______ number of successful kills.5
14805304319Influence of Dispersal on Distribution EX: Cattle egrets late 1800's.Natural range expansion show the:6
14805313023Adaptive Radiation EX: Hawaiian Silverswords from North American Tarweed.Long-distance dispersal can lead to7
148053263431957 - 1998. No natural predators.Spread of the Africanized Honeybee8
14805331367North American Birds British Vascular PlantsSmall Geographic range9
14805345235Worldwide - Continental - Regional - Physiographic- Cluster - Locality - Colony - ClumpORDER OF LARGE GEOGRAPHIC RANGE10
14805361121Climate North hot / wet, seasonal drought. Red kangaroos arid / semiarid interior, precipitation low. SE Australia cool, wet. S AUS cool, most winter and warm, dry summer.Kangaroo Interactions11
14805372393Mark & Recapture (Moving) / Grid (Not Moving)Estimating Population Size12
14805376836S/N = x /n. S = # individuals marked and released 1st sample. x = # individuals already marked and released 2nd sample. n = Total # individuals 2nd sample. N = Estimated population size. Rearrange: N = sn/xM&R Formula13
14805410253Long (humans / type 1) Middle (hydra / Prairie dog / / type 2) Low (oyster / type 3)Survivorship curves14
14805497934dN/dt = B-D change in pop size / change in time = birth rate - death ratePopulation Growth Curve15
14805517809idealized population in an unlimited environment (j-curve), can't continue indefinitely. r-selected species. r = per capita growth rate.Exponential Model16
14805526979dN/dt = rmaxN rmax = maximum per capita growthExponential Model equation17
14805532976Considers population density on growth (S-curve), carrying capacity (K), max pop that a particular environment can support. K-selected species. dN/dt = rmaxN(K-N/K)Logistic Model18
14805559402Per capita rate of increase (rmax) declines as carrying capacity (K) is reached. Starts with exponential model and adds expression that reduces per capita rate of increase as N approaches K.Logistic Growth Curves19
14805584987Exponential is biotic potential. X-line above is carrying capacity. Space between logistic and exponential is environmental resistance.Growth Curve Relationship20
14805662053Opportunistic Short maturation & lifespan Many offspring, 1 early repro No parental High deahR-Selected21
14805667317Equilibrial Long maturation & life Few large off, sever late repro Extensive parental Low deathK-Selected22
14805678407Overshoots K and then settles downParamecium23
14805682042Fluctuate greatly, hard to define KDaphnia24
14805696178Rapid growthAfghanistan25
14805696179Slow growthUnited States26
14805698573No growthItaly27
14805751612Ecological time, evolutionary timeEvents that occur in the framework of _________________________ (minutes, months, years) translate into effects over the longer scale of ______________ (decades, centuries, millenia, longer) How organisms respond and how they are distributed.28
14805766740Selective Pressure, Variation, InheritanceNatural Selection 3 Ideas29
14805780204Ground, Warbler, Tree Parrot, Grasping, Probing, Crushing Fruit, Insect, Cactus, Seed.Finch types and beaks30
14805791454Disruptive, Stabilizing, DirectionalModes of Selection31
14805804210Bi-modal curve, extreme traits favoredDisruptive Selection32
14805806669Reduces variance over time, traits closer to meanStabilizing33
14805809104Favors a phenotypic trait (selected by environment)Directional34
14805840020Limits on Distribution of Species, Biogeography__________________ servers as a starting point to understanding the ____________________________35
14805853845Hydrangea, pH of their soil light, soil pH. soil pH.__________ react to the environment and display phenotype based on _______________. Affected by ______ and _______. ____ exerts main influence on color.36
14805879556Nature, human interactions.Fish and other aquatic animals deal with changing environments in part due to _____ and in part due to _______.37
14805891083Their bladder fills with gas to equalize internal pressure.Fish Pressure38
14805902298Nearctic, Neotropical, Ethiopian, Palearctic, Oriental, Australian.Biogeographical Realms39
14805921933No predators, parasites, pathogens that limit populations in native habitats. Disrupt new community by preying on native organisms and outcompeting for resources.Introduced Species40
14805931008Brown Tree Snake South Pacific World War 2. 12 birds, 6 lizards extinct as a result. No native snakes.Guam Invasive Species41
14805938805Kudzu Asian Plant introduced by US Dept of Ag good intentions. Japanese Pavilion 1876 Centennial Exposition. Help control erosion, has taken over large areas of landscape.South U.S42
14805975901European Starling from England. Release every bird named by Shakespeare. Skylarks and song failed, starling continues. Cosliest and noxious. Roosting in hordes of 1 mil, can devour stores of seed and fruit, offsetting insect eating benefit. 20 tons of potatoes in one day.New York43
14805998365Native to Black Sea and Caspian Sea. Invasive NA, GB, Ire, Ital, Spain, Sweden. Disrupt with monotypic colonization, damage harbors & waterways, ships and boats, water treatment & power plants. WT most impacted water intakes bring microscopic larvae into facilities. Cling on to pipes under water and clog them.Zebra Museels44
14806017430Shows fish toleranceTolerance Chart45
14806037794During all life stages compete with native species for food and habitat. Young: Zooplankton, insect larvae, small crustaceans, young of others. Adult: Fish, crust, frogs, reptiles, birds / mammals Disrupt food webs & ecological conditions, forever change native aquatic systems by modifying the array of native species.Snakehead Fish46
14806054016Sea Urchins are limiting biotic factor, more should invade an area where they have been removed.W.J.Fletcher47
