Questions And 100% Correct Answers|
Verified By Expert| 2025 Latest Update.
Facillitators - ANSWER ✔✔ Ecosystem "engineers" species that physically alter the structure of
the community.
Primary Succession - ANSWER ✔✔ Occurs in areas where soil has not yet formed or has been
stripped away.
Cryptic Coloration - ANSWER ✔✔ Makes an animal difficult to see.
Energetic Hypothesis - ANSWER ✔✔ Suggests that the length of a food chain is limited by the
inefficiency of energy transfer along the chain. That is, so much energy is lost with each transfer
that the energy is quickly depleted.
Ecological Niche - ANSWER ✔✔ The sum total of a species' use of the biotic and abiotic
resources in its environment.
Evapotranspiration - ANSWER ✔✔ Consists of evaporation of water from soil and transpiration
of water by plants.
Species Diversity - ANSWER ✔✔ Made up of species richness and relative abundance.
Competitive Exclusion Principle - ANSWER ✔✔ One species uses resources more efficiently
than another, eventually replacing that species.
Intermediate Disturbance Hypothesis - ANSWER ✔✔ This model suggests that moderate levels
of disturbance can create conditions that foster greater species diversity than low or high levels
of disturbance.
Species Richness - ANSWER ✔✔ A measure of how many difference species are present.
Batesian Mimicry - ANSWER ✔✔ When a harmless prey species mimics a harmful species,
thereby promoting its own survival.
Secondary Succession - ANSWER ✔✔ Occurs when an existing community has been cleared by
some community but the soil has been left intact.
Redundancy Models - ANSWER ✔✔ Says that one specie has little effect on the others, and can
easily be replaced by a different species.
