What would you label the range of temperature from 90°F to 94° for for the particular species
Zone of physiological stress
There is/are usually___tolerance limits responsible for limiting the number and location of a species. However, some organisms have_____that limits distribution
Many, A specific critical factor
What would you label the range of temperature from 95°F to 96°F for this particular species
Optimal range
What is the difference in the adoption of A sled dogs thick coat of hair to help it withstand the cold temperature and Arctic winters and a dog that adapts to cold temperatures in the fall by growing a thicker coat? The adoption of the sled dog best describes adoption while the dog exposed to the seasonal cold temperature has
Population Level, physiological modification at the individual level
Evolution occurs as a result of
Their survival of reproduction rights by individuals with a particular characteristic
Natural selection will ultimately make the species
Better adapted to its environment
Regular lawn mowing selects for short heads rather than Tall heads Dandelion because
Tall flowers cannot reproduce
The sparrow and a chicken or living in the same territory and are using the same resources the best way to class for this interaction is as
Interspecific competition
And especially effective strategy for reducing interspecific competition is
Different ecological niches for juveniles and adults
Symbiosis means
Living together
And organisms biotic potential is the maximum number of offspring
That can produce
I died back or a population crash after species
Over shoots it’s environmental carrying capacity
In the real world many factors determine the number of organisms in anyone population yet if A super fly existed without theoretically unlimited food supply and no mortality would show what type of growth
J shaped curve
A biological communities productivity is measured of
The mounds of biomass produced in the community
Primary succession occurs when the community develops will secondary succession occurs when one
On unoccupied ground, biological community replaces another
