| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Known as the environmental factors that influence growth, survival, and reproduction of a species. | Niche |
| A principle that states two species with identical niches cannot coexist indefinitely. | Competitive exclusion principle: |
| Physical conditions under which a species might live in the absence of interactions with other species. | Fundamental niche |
| Physical conditions under which a species might live in the presence of interactions with other species (competition, predation, parasitism, mutualism). | Realized niche |
| When two different species hybridize. One or more hybrid individuals doubles its chromosome number, making it capable of sexual reproduction. The result is the creation of a new species. | Allopolyploidity |
| Advantages of modeling are that a model is what three thing? | Predictive, can be tested, and can be adjusted. |
| What model predicts that species coexist when intraspecific competition is stronger than interspecific competition? | The Lotka – Volterra model |
| The process of evolution toward niche divergence in the face of competition is known as what? | Character displacement |
| What species occur in separate locations? | Allopatric species |
| What species occur in the same region? | Sympatric species |
| A type of field experiment where the experimenter controls all important factors except one, the factor of interest. | Laboratory study |
| A type of field experiment where the experimenter controls only the factor of interest. | Field Study |
| Field experiments should include the following three things: | Controls, replication, and knowledge of initial conditions |
