Population Ecology - Test Review

The growth curve shown is an example of

• extinction

• exponential growth

• logistic growth

• a predator-prey graph

The growth curve shown indicates that in this population

• births + emigration = deaths + immigration

• births + immigration = deaths + emigration

• extinction has occured

• the ecosystem must be at its carrying capacity

As this diagram indicates, human population is distributed in a pattern of

• random dispersion

• clumped dispersion

• uniform dispersion

In the image, green indicates grass, blue indicates rabbis and red indicates wolves. In this graph, the factor controlling rabbit population is

• the availability of food

• competition from other herbivores

• wolves

• the presence of other predators

As a population grows, factors that slow down the growth of the population are called

• competitive factors
