What is natality?
average per birth capita
32
Total fertility rate
the average number of children born to a women during her lifetime
33
Biome
large, relatively distinct terrestrial region characterized by a similar climate, soil, plants, animals, regardless of where it is on earth
34
What is succession?
the process of community development over time which involves species in one stage being replaced by a different species
35
What are the two types of succession? Define.
primary succession-no previous organisms inhabited the area | secondary succession- change in species composition after some major disturbance upsets the environment
36
What are typical pioneer species?
most the time hardy plants with long roots, root nodes with nitrogen fixing bacteria
37
Chemosynthesis
using chemicals such as sulfur to make energy
38
What is the phylum for roundworms?
nemaatodes
39
What are 4 parasitic nematodes?
Ascaris hookworms trichina worms pinworms
40
When do you have a J-shaped growth curve?
when optimal conditions allow a constant per capita growth rate
41
Microevolution
generation-to-generation changes
42
What is temporal isolation?
when genetic exchange between 2 groups is prevented because they reproduce at different times of the day, season, , or year
43
What is behavioral isolation?
isolation in breeding that results from animal species exchanging a distinct series of signals before mating
44
What is habitat isolation?
isolation that results from similar species breeding in different habitats
45
What is mechanical isolation?
structural differences that keeps some species from breeding wit one another
46
What is gametic isolation?
it is when molecular and chemical differences keep species from mating
47
Whatt are 6 characteristics of mammals?
