Chapter 44, Problem 4TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Succession is a progressive modify in vegetation during biological time. It is a natural process. It can be known by the directional change in the organic composition of the population. It is an establishment of new species. It may be defined along the following 3 parameters:
- It is a systematic process of population development, which are reasonably directional.
- It results from changes in the physical atmosphere by the community.
- It is established as a biologically stable ecosystem at a given site.

- Which of the following species interactions could result in coevolution? (select all that are correct) Competition Amensalism Commensalism Mutualism Exploitationarrow_forwardDefine the following words: Speciation Extinction Coevolution Stimulation Innate Survivorship Altruism Inclusive fitness Kin selection Eusocial Cultural behavior Speciesarrow_forwardWhich of the following scenarios best explains how resource partitioning can lead to adaptive radiation? The lack of competition between individuals leads to better survival and reproduction rates. The utilization of different resources requires different adaptations, selecting for different traits. The lack of competition leads to a more balanced ecosystem, resulting in more offspring. There is no connection between adaptive radiation and the resource partitioning in nature.arrow_forward

Biogeography Comparative morphology Geology Biologyarrow_forwardSpecies interactions determine an organism's fundamental niche. True Falsearrow_forwardThe competitive exclusion principle is best defined as Multiple Choice the competition among individuals of the same species in the same location. the principle that two species that occupy the same niche cannot coexist indefinitely. an interaction between species that enhances the fitness of the exploiting individual while reducing the fitness of the exploited individual. the principle that if an organism allocates energy to one function, such as growth or reproduction, it reduces the amount of energy available to other functions.arrow_forward
- What is meant by interaction that happen among species is diffusearrow_forwardThe principle that species cannot occupy the same niche forever, one will eventually exclude the other is known as: O Zone of differentiation O Differential exclusion O Competition mediated exclusion O Character displacement O Competitive exclusionarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is consistent with the principle of competitive exclusion? Bird species generally do not compete for nesting sites Two species with the same fundamental niche will likely exclude all other species Natural selection tends to increase competition between closely related species When two species are in direct competition for the same resource, one species will eventually prevailarrow_forward
- Use the word bank for the best answer to fill in the blank: Navigational, transportation, nutritional, facultative, obligate, very fun, antagonistic, co-evolution, symbiosis, predatory, beta, alpha. In this mutualistic interaction between theses two organisms, the plant is benefiting from a mutualism and the fly is benefiting from a mutualism. The flower is pollinated by many different insect species making this a mutualism for the plant.arrow_forwardYou are studying two new species that have a mutualistic relationship. How would you determine if the mutualism is facultative or obligate? What types of observational data would you collect and what type of experiment would you conduct?arrow_forwardThe graph above is from a paper by Dave Tilman published in 1994.
