Habitat

Question 1

dispersal

Answer 1

what species are not in a particular place

Question 2

r selected

Answer 2

high reproductive rates, rapid development and great powers of dispersal, live in unstable environments

Question 3

K selected

Answer 3

low reproductive rates, single births with lots of care, live in stable environments

Question 4

species absent because of

Answer 4

dispersal (locomotive), behavior (psychic), other species (biotic), physical or chemical factors (abiotic)

Question 5

competitive exclusion

Answer 5

probiotics, overrun bad bacteria with good bacteria

Question 6

dispersal from place of birth

Answer 6

inbreeding avoidance hypothesis, intraspecific competition hypothesis, optimal inbreeding

Question 7

inbreeding avoidance hypothesis

Answer 7

inbreeding depression

Question 8

intraspecific competition hypothesis

Answer 8

mate competition, food competition, avoid lowering indirect fitness

Question 9

optimal inbreeding

Answer 9

outbreeding depression, beneficial recessive trait, retain optimal traits

Question 10

determinants of habitat preference

Answer 10

heredity, learning and early experience, tradition

Question 11

learning and early experience

Answer 11

habitat imprinting (iteroparous, semelparous)

Question 12

iteroparous

Answer 12

young spread out (single birth or twins)

Question 13

semelparous

Answer 13

young all at once (litter bearing)

Question 14

tradition

Answer 14

habitat is passed from generation to generation

Question 15

stress

Answer 15

any environmental situation, can be chronic or acute

Question 16

stressor

Answer 16

any environmental factor that provokes an adaptive response

Question 17

strain

Answer 17

any functional, structural, or behavioral reaction to an environmental stimulus or perceived stimulus

Question 18

eustress

Answer 18

a positive stressor: growth, gravity

Question 19

distress

Answer 19

a negative stressor: temperature, humidity, air movement, light, noise, air quality, food, social surroundings, perception

Question 20

general adaptation syndrome

Answer 20

all systemic stressors resulted in alterations to the adrenal gland and its secretions

Question 21

three basic stages of the general adaptation syndrome

Answer 21

alarm response, resistance, exhaustion

Question 22

adaptation

Answer 22

any functional, structural, or behavioral trait that favors survival or ability to be productive in a given environment

Question 23

acclimation

Answer 23

compensatory alterations due to a single stressor acting alone over days or weeks

Question 24

acclimization

Answer 24

reactions over many days or weeks to many environmental factors

Question 25

stress, strain and productivity

Answer 25

strain alters internal function, diverts nutrients, directly reduces productivity, impairs disease resistance, and increases variability

Question 26

ethology and pest control

Answer 26

insect pests, autocidal control, chemical control, biological control

Question 27

insect pests

Answer 27

pheromones can be used to attract the bees, aggregation of the species or initiate alarm behavior

Question 28

autocidal control

Answer 28

saturate the population with sterile males

Question 29

chemical control

Answer 29

various insecticides can be used

Question 30

biological control

Answer 30

use natural predators
