, Predation is an interaction between two species best described how?
Question 4 options:
One species benefits from the interaction at a cost to the other species.
Both species benefit from the interaction.
One species benefits from the interaction, and the other is unaffected.
Neither species benefit from the interaction.
A field ecologist is studying a sage plant (Salvia leucophylla) that grows wild in Southern California. She
notices the characteristic uniform dispersion of the plants in all of the quadrats she has mapped out.
What is a likely explanation for this dispersion pattern?
Question 5 options:
This plant drops its relatively heavy seeds straight to the ground immediately around it
This plant secretes a chemical that inhibits the growth of nearby plants
This plant relies on wind to disperse its relatively lightweight seeds
This plant relies on animals to disperse its seeds far from the mother plant
A population—birds, for example—that experiences a roughly uniform mortality rate across its lifespan
will typically exhibit what type of survivorship curve?
Question 6 options:
Type II, linear
Type I, convex
Type III, concave
Any of the three types
