APES Unit 2 Final Review

Habitat fragmentation

• increases undesirable edge habitat

• decreases undesirable edge habitat

• increases desirable core habitat

• decreases desirable core and edge habitat equally

Which of the following requires a recovery plan for increasing endangered populations?

• Endangered Species Act
• CITES
• Lacey Act
• One Act Plays

Fragmented habitat can be reconnected most directly by

• wildlife corridors
• captive breeding programs
• debt for nature swaps
• prescribed burns

Hunters are important in wildlife management because they control population size and

• provide food for local food banks
• provide funds through licenses 
• decrease endangered species
• remove the most fit organisms from a population

The three types of biodiversity are

• genetic, species and ecosystem
• medical, agricultural, ethical
• habitat loss, pollution, overharvesting
• camera traps, invasive species, cookies

Why can't an individual Monarch change its adaptations?

• it can't change its DNA

• there are not enough Monarchs

• natural selection can't work on this species

What prediction is correct about island biogeography?

• Smaller islands have more resources, and will have more biodiversity

• Larger islands have more space for resources, but will have less biodiversity due to competition

• Animals Islands closer to mainland will migrate successfully and there will be more diversity

• Animals will fly to far away mainland and there will be more diversity

Which below is TRUE?

• Generalist species occupy very narrow niches

• R- strategist species are very prone to extinction

• Specialist species have a limited diet

• K-strategists species give birth to numerous offspring with little parental care

• Generalist species can't make use of a variety of environmental resources

An example of a r-strategist (-selected) species is

• an elephant

• a human

• a whale

• an eagle

• a dandelion

all individuals of the same species occupying the same area is

• an ecosystem

• a population

• a community

• a biome

• a biosphere
