Biology 150 Exam II
Chapter 52 - Geographic Distribution
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Dispersal (does dispersal limit? .. no? behavior) | the movement of individuals away from their area of origin or centers of high population density. it could be a matter of time or a physical barrier limiting their dispersal. |
| Habitat Selection Behavior (does behavior limit? .. no? biotic) | some organisms do not occupy their potential range, even though they may be physically capable. female insects deposit eggs only in response to a very narrow set of stimuli, which may restrict distribution. |
| Biotic Factors/Living Factors (do other species limit? .. no? abiotic) | negative interactions with other organisms, predation, parasitism, or competition. organisms taht eat can limit distribution of organisms that get eaten. |
| Abiotic Factors/Non-Livign Factors (chemical or physical) | temperature, water availability, salinity, sunlight, rocks and soil. |
