Say you are doing mark+recapture with a population of fish, but most of your marked fish die before your recapture is conducted. Will your population estimate be over or under?
it will be an overestimate
it will be an underestimate
it will not effect your estimate
none of the above
Say you are doing mark+recapture on a population of fish, but your mark makes the fish much more likely to be recaptured. Will this cause an over- or under-estimate of the population?
overestimate
underestimate
it will not effect your estimate
none of the above
A pearlfish spends the day inside the alimentary tract, or intestines, of a sea
cucumber. The fish emerges from the sea cucumber at night to feed on small
crustaceans. The pearlfish gets a safe place to live. The sea cucumber does not gain anything from the relationship, nor is it harmed. What type of symbiosis is this?
Mutualism
Commensalism
Parasitism
Not a symbiosis
A sea urchin and an abalone both live in the kelp forest, and both eat kelp as their main food source. They often fight over access to kelp fronds. What type of symbiosis is this?
Mutualism
Parasitism
Commensalism
Not a symbiosis
A boxer crab carries a pair of small anemones in its chelipeds, or claws. When
approached by a predator, the crab waves the stinging tentacles of the anemones to deter the predator. The anemones benefit from the small particles of food dropped by the crab during feeding. What type of symbiosis is this?
Mutualism
Parasitism
Commensalism
Not a symbiosis
A cymothoid isopod lives inside the mouth of a snapper fish. The isopod severs blood vessels in the fish’s tongue, causing the tongue to atrophy and degenerate. The isopod then hooks its pereopods, or legs, to the base of the fish’s tongue, essentially replacing the tongue. The isopod stays there for the rest of its life, feeding on blood, mucus, and stray pieces of food from the fish. What type of symbiosis is this?
Mutualism
Commensalism
Parasitism
Not a symbiosis
Which population would be best suited for RANDOM SAMPLING population estimation?
Immobile kelp stalks distributed randomly along coastal waters
Elephant seals grouped together in harems (male defended mating areas)
Pacific mackerel, a mobile schooling fish
Sea urchins clumped around kelp holdfasts
Which population would be best suited for MARK+RECAPTURE population estimation?
Immobile kelp stalks distributed randomly along coastal waters
Elephant seals grouped together in harems (male defended mating areas)
Pacific mackerel, a mobile schooling fish
Sea urchins clumped around kelp holdfasts

Population ecology is concerned with ____, which community ecology is concerned with ____.
one species; many species interacting
many species interacting; one species
population size; population distribution
population distribution; population size
The neritic zone is important because...
most ocean life lives there
sunlight reaches the entire zone
nutrients can cycle through it due to its shallow depth
all of the above
A keystone species is one that...
increases the biodiversity of the overall ecosystem when it is present
has a drastic effect on the other organisms in the ecosystem
is typically a predator that monitors other populations through predation
all of the above
