APES Biodiversity Exam

The mountain lion is endangered for all of the following reasons EXCEPT

• habitat loss
• pest control
• being an apex predator
• invasive species

Which of these was endangered because of biomagnification?

• Bald Eagle
• Attwater's Prairie Chicken
• Panda
• Alligators

Fragmented habitat can be reconnected most directly by

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

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

The area under the curve of the graph is called

• The zone of tolerance

• Geographic isolation

• Population bottleneck

• Founder Effect

• Species richness

Which is true of the location above?

• It has low species richness

• It has low species evenness

• It has high species evenness

• It has both low species evenness and richness

• None of these

Which is true of the location above?

• It has high species evenness

• It has low species evenness

• It has low species richness

• It has both low species evenness and richness

• None of these

Which is the best example of a population bottleneck?

• A tsunami wipes out the entire population of plants

• A new food source is available to a population of cats

• A wild fire kills off a significant portion of a deer population

• A volcano causes the extinction of a small mammal species

• Climate change causes the local population of birds to migrate elsewhere

A bird population has an adaptation of a curved beak to feed on the nectar inside of a curved flower. This is

• Competition

• Genetic resistance

• Species richness

• Co-evolution

• Reproductive isolation
