Wildlife Ecology OBE EXAM-S2

What does wildlife ecology primarily focus on?

• Study of only endangered species

• Study of human population growth

• Interaction between wildlife species and their environment

• Protection of domesticated animals

Why is genetic diversity important in wildlife conservation?

• It helps species adapt to environmental changes

• It reduces the number of individuals in a population

• It makes all species identical

• It leads to species extinction

Which of the following technologies is used in modern wildlife management?

• GPS tracking and camera traps

• Human patrols only

• Traditional hunting methods

• None of the above

Why are wildlife corridors important?

• They restrict animal movement

• They connect fragmented habitats, allowing safe movement of wildlife

• They reduce food supply for animals

• They are only beneficial for plant species

Which of the following best defines carrying capacity?

• The number of births per year in a species

• The maximum number of individuals an environment can support

• The amount of food consumed by a species

• The energy transfer between trophic levels

In which species interaction does one species benefit while the other is unaffected?

• Parasitism

• Commensalism

• Mutualism

• Predation

What is a niche in an ecosystem?

• The physical location where a species lives

• The role a species plays in its ecosystem

• A type of animal shelter

• The amount of food a species consumes

What happens when an animal is forced out of its natural habitat due to human activities?

• It thrives and increases in population

• It adapts immediately to a new habitat

• It faces challenges such as food scarcity and predation

• It stops migrating

Which of the following is a major threat to wildlife conservation?

• Increasing biodiversity

• Habitat destruction and poaching

• Strict wildlife laws

• Reduction in greenhouse gas emissions

Which conservation strategy involves protecting species within their natural habitat?

• Ex-situ conservation

• In-situ conservation

• Artificial breeding

• Genetic engineering
