If an island is closer to the mainland, how will this impact the biodiversity?
There will be a higher level of biodiversity here than an island that is further away.
There will be a lower level of biodiversity here than an island that is further away.
There will be no difference in biodiversity on islands based on distance to mainland.
What is ecological succession?
A set of environmental conditions within which an organism can best survive
An organism's ability to adapt to its environment
A peak community where the organisms are stable
The process of change in the species structure of an ecological community over time
What stage of ecological succession is being shown? (this is soil not rocks)
Primary succession
Secondary succession
Tertiary succession
Climax community
True or False: A wildfire that destroys all organisms in the area would cause a climax community to have to undergo primary succession once more.
True
False
Which of the following is NOT considered to be a natural disruption to an ecosystem?
Volcanic eruption
Hurricane
Air pollution
Earthquake
Which ecosystem is the most biodiverse?
Temperate deciduous forest

Primary succession
Secondary succession
Tertiary succession
Climax community
Which of the following is NOT a type of ecosystem service?

High biodiversity is important because...
it means that the ecosystem is more able to recover from disturbances.
it means that the ecosystem is less able to recover from disturbances.
it means that organisms are healthier and have more opportunities.
it means that organisms are less healthy and have less opportunities.

Organisms can tolerate any range of temperature, salinity, and pH. True or false?
True
False
A population's zone of intolerance is...
the range where organisms survive, grow, and reproduce
the range where organisms survive, but experience lack of growth and decreased activity
the range where organisms will die
Which fish would survive best in a pond that is kept at 23 degrees Celsius?
Brook Trout
Carp
Which of the following best explains how environmental stressors, such as wildfires, can affect biodiversity in an ecosystem?
After an environmental stress, a genetic bottleneck may occur, which will increase genetic diversity.
Habitat diversity will increase the available niches if the landscape becomes more uniform after a disturbance.
Ecosystems with more species diversity are more likely to recover after a disturbance than ecosystems with low species diversity.
Smaller populations are less likely to go extinct than larger populations, so the species diversity will remain constant.
What is genetic diversity?
Diversity within a species
# of species and abundance in the community
How many different habitats are in a region
What is habitat diversity?
Diversity within a species
# of species and abundance in the community
How many different habitats are in a region
What is species diversity?
Diversity within a species
# of species and abundance in the community
How many different habitats are in a region
The Theory of Island Biogeography states that
There are more species on islands that are smaller and farther from the mainland.
There are more species on islands that are smaller is
and closer to the mainland.
There are more species on islands that are larger and closer to the mainland.
There are more species on islands that are larger and farther from the mainland.
Organisms, like koalas, that require specific habitats and food are called
specialist
generalist
Organisms, like cockroaches, that can live in many places and eat many things are called
specialist
generalist
The total range of conditions conditions (abiotic factors) that an organism can lived in is called _____________.
Succession
Environmental disturbance
Ecological tolerance
limiting factors
What is the difference between primary and secondary succcession?
Primary succession already has soil
Lichen and moss come in for secondary succession
Secondary succession already has soil
Climax community is achieved quickly in primary succession
The main cause of biodiversity loss worldwide is
extinctions
invasive species
pollution
habitat destruction
Which of the following statements is true?
Biodiversity decreases with increased sunlight
Biodiversity decreases as you move away from the equator
Biodiversity decreases as you decrease in altitude
Biodiversity increases as you go further down in the oceans
Which of the following is true about island biodiversity?
Small islands are more likely to have more immigrated species
Small islands have more biodiversity
Small islands have more species
Small islands have less resources
A role played by an organism in an ecosystem is known at its
Niche
Job
Role
Duty
What is the difference between primary and secondary succcession?
Primary succession already has soil
Lichen and moss come in for secondary succession
Secondary succession already has soil
Climax community is achieved quickly in primary succession
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 is NOT a cause of loss in biodiversity?
Habitat Fragmentation
Introduction to Invasive Species
Overfishing
Talking to our state governments for new laws that can protect the wildlife
What is an example of Habitat Destruction?
Helping the animals.
Hunting an animal numerous times.
Destroying an animal's habitat for the benefit of humans.
