EXAM 2 (RANDAL
BOON)
Spacial Structure - CORRECT REPLY>>>>>>-The pattern of
desity and pacing of individuals in a population
Fundamental niche - CORRECT REPLY>>>>>>-The range of
abiotic conditions under which a species can persist
realized niche - CORRECT REPLY>>>>>>-the range of abiotic
and biotic conditions under which a species actually lives
- aids in species conservation and can limit spread of invasive
species
,Geographic range - CORRECT REPLY>>>>>>-the geographic
boundary in which a species can exist
Distribution of populations - CORRECT REPLY>>>>>>-Small
scale variation in the environment creates geographic ranges
that are composed of small patches of suitable habitat
-we can test whether species are limited by unsuitable
environmental conditions
-populations can grow larger in more suitable habitats
Ecological niche modeling - CORRECT REPLY>>>>>>-The
process of determining suitable habitat conditions for a
species
Ecological envelope - CORRECT REPLY>>>>>>-The range of
ecological conditions that are PREDICTED to be suitable for an
envelope
,Modeling invasive species - CORRECT REPLY>>>>>>-
Ecological niche modeling can predict the expansion of pest
species
Effects of Global warming - CORRECT REPLY>>>>>>-
Temperature change can cause a shift in the geographic range
of a species
endemic - CORRECT REPLY>>>>>>-Species that live in a
single (often isolated) location
Cosmopolitan - CORRECT REPLY>>>>>>-Species with very
large geographic ranges that can span several continents
Abundance - CORRECT REPLY>>>>>>-The total number of
individuals in a population that exist within a defined area
Population density - CORRECT REPLY>>>>>>-number of
individuals per unit of area (abundance divided by area)
-Highest density typically occurs near the center of their
geographic range
, -density is > than habitat can support some individuals must
leave or the population will experience lower growth and
survival
Dispersion - CORRECT REPLY>>>>>>-The spacing of
individuals with respect to one another
Clustered dispersion - CORRECT REPLY>>>>>>-When
individuals are aggregated in discrete groups
Evenly spaced dispersion - CORRECT REPLY>>>>>>-When
individuals maintains an uniform distance between itself and
its neighbors
Random dispersion - CORRECT REPLY>>>>>>-When the
position of each individual is random to others, not common
due to environmental heterogeneity
Population Dispersal - CORRECT REPLY>>>>>>-The
movement of individuals from one are to another
