Question
Answer
Population:   show
🗑
show size, shape, and location of the area occupied  
🗑
Density:   show
🗑
show patterns that are random, regular, or clumped.  
🗑
Cause of spatial scales   show
🗑
show ‘regular’ pattern in ‘older’ communities  
🗑
show clumped (due to resources like water)  
🗑
show Population density declines with increasing body size (inverse relation)  
🗑
show not static in abundance or distribution  
🗑
show population dynamics: births, deaths, immigration and emigration  
🗑
Effect of dispersal on local populations   show
🗑
show Juvenile  
🗑
Three main ways of estimating patterns of survival within a population   show
🗑
cohort   show
🗑
static life table   show
🗑
age distributions   show
🗑
limitations of age distributions   show
🗑
survivorship curve   show
🗑
show Relatively similar  
🗑
show survivorship curves for some species are nearly straight lines individuals die at a constant rate throughout life Ex. Birds and mud turtles  
🗑
High infant mortality   show
🗑
Type I Survivorship Curve   show
🗑
show Constant survival (linear negative line)  
🗑
show High juvenile and low adult mortality (sudden drop and then levels out)  
🗑
age distribution of a population reflects its?   show
🗑
show population is juvenile dominant meaning the older trees will be replaced  
🗑
show middle aged individuals dominant meaning that there are not enough young to replace the old  
🗑
show survival and age distribution with reproductive rates, we can actually make quantitative predictions about future population growth or decline  
🗑
show tabulation of birthrates for females of different ages in a population  
🗑
life table combined with a fecundity schedule can be used to estimate:   show
🗑
net reproductive rate, R0   show
🗑
show ratio of the population size at different times Nt+1/ Nt  
🗑
show the average time from egg to egg  
🗑
show birthrate minus death rate value of 0 would indicate a stable population  
🗑
Robert Whittaker   show
🗑
range expansion   show
🗑
geometric rate of increase   show
🗑
generations overlap   show
🗑
show any population with pulsed reproduction (a single generation per year) differ by a constant ratio (lambda,the geometric rate of increase)  
🗑
exponential population growth   show
🗑
show maximum rate of increase achieved under ideal conditions intrinsic rate of increase  
🗑
show low initial population densities  
🗑
show geometric growth and exponential growth cannot be maintained  
🗑
show resources are depleted by a growing population, its growth rate slows and eventually stops S- shaped, or sigmoidal, curve  
🗑
carrying capacity, or K   show
🗑
show very low population size  
🗑
show r decreases as population increases  
🗑
show positive and population grows  
🗑
if N=K, r is?   show
🗑
N>K, r is?   show
🗑
abiotic   show
🗑
biotic   show
🗑
life history   show
🗑
Offspring number versus size   show
🗑
adult survival is lower   show
🗑
show gonadosomatic index measures the proportion of energy allocated to reproduction Adult mortality rate was inversely related to age at maturity  
🗑
higher mortality rates reproduce___?   show
🗑
r selection   show
🗑
K selection   show
🗑
Variable/unpredictable environments result in___?   show
🗑
Constant/predictable environments result in___?   show
🗑
semelparity   show
🗑
iteroparity   show
🗑
show intrinsic rate of increase, competitive ability, Development rate, age at maturity and body size  
🗑
show species maximize their ability to colonize new habitat in unpredictable environments by combining low juvenile survival, low numbers of offspring and early maturity  
🗑
Equilibrium   show
🗑
show combines low juvenile survival, high numbers of offspring, and late maturity  
🗑
show dimensionless ratios to remove the effects of size and time relative size of offspring, proportion of lifetime allocated to reproduction, and the fraction of adult body mass allocated to reproduction over the lifespan  
🗑
show illustrates the fundamental differences among fish, mammals, and altricial birds  
🗑
Intraspecific competition   show
🗑
Self-thinning   show
🗑
Interspecific competition   show
🗑
niche   show
🗑
show two species with identical niches cannot coexist indefinitely  
🗑
show n-dimensional hypervolume, where n equals the number of environmental factors affecting a species survival and reproduction conditions a species would exploit in the absence of other species  
🗑
show species subject to biotic interactions (competition, predation, disease, parasitism)  
🗑
morphological niche   show
🗑
Lotka-­‐Volterra competition model   show
🗑
show two terms -alpha12N2 and -alpha21N1 express the competitive effect of one species on another  
🗑
show he effect of an individual of species 2 on the rate of population growth rate of species 1  
🗑
alpha21   show
🗑
show combinations of N1 and N2 at which population growth of N1 (or N2) is zero, form strait lines  
🗑
show species on each axis  
🗑
show extinction of species 1, extinction of species 2, and coexistence of the two species  
🗑
Niche overlap and competition   show
🗑
character displacement   show
🗑
show biological populations of the same species become isolated  
🗑
sympatric   show
🗑
show increases in fitness of one species with a decrease in fitness of the other ex. Predator-prey and parasite-host  
🗑
show moth used to control the cactus  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
