25
What is parasitism
A female will lay eggs inside a host
26
What are prey defences
``` Chemical defence Cryptic colouration Warning colours Bayesian mimicry Mullurian mimicry Protective armed ```
27
What are behavioural defences
Flight or fight Alarm calls Changing stance Living in groups
28
What is the coevolutonary arms race
Predator and prey are locked in a coevolutionary arms race- prey evolve another strategy to avoid being Eaton predators evolve another strategy to find and locate prey
29
What is a species
A group of individual that actually or potentially interbreed in nature
30
What is speciation
Speciation occurs as a population divides into two or more reductively isolated populations
31
What are two causes of speciation
Geographical isolation - allopathic speciation | Reduction of gene flow - sympathetic speciation
32
What barriers cause geographical isolation - allopathic
``` Rivers Mountains Canyons Unfavourable habitat Timings of breeding season ```
33
What is an example of allopatric isolation
Hawaiian fruit flys - separated to different islands differ in size winds pattern and head shape
34
What is reduction of gene flow - sympatric
Live in the same area have an opportunity to breed but do not
35
Examples of reduction of gene flow - sympatric
Some lay eggs if hawthorns others don’t females lay eggs on fruit they grew up on males look for mates on fruit they grew up on
36
What is gene flow
The movement of genes between different populations
37
What is natural selection
Natural selection increases characteristics (genes) that a favourable to a population
38
What is evolution
A change in a population of a species overtime
39
What are the types of evolution
Divergent Convergent Parallel
40
What is divergent evolution
Two different species share a common ancestor but have developed different characteristics from one another
41
What are examples of divergent evolution
Dog, wolf Zebra, horse, donkey Kit fox, artic fox Moth, butterflies
42
What is convergent evolution
Two differ species do not share a common ancestor but have developed similar characteristics through adaption to similar environmental conditions
43
What are examples of convergent evolution
Hedgehogs and echidnas Bird moth and bat Hyena and dogs Shark and dolphin
44
What is parallel evolution
Once had a common ancestor and had similar traits but have now evolved different traits
45
What are examples of parallel evolution
``` Groundhog and wombat Anteater and numbat Wolf and Tasmanian wolf Flying squirrel and phalanger and flying lemur Native cat and ocelot ```
46
What are the driving fives of evolution
Each species occupies a nich in the community a niche is the role a species plays
47
What is an example of a nich
Different species of worker bird have a different nich it’s sprouts tree habitat by feeding in different area of the tree birds avoid companion with one another for food
48
What are Darwin’s finches - divergent evolution
A group of about is species of passer one birds they are well known for there remarkable diversity in bean form and function this is known as natural selection but also a form of divergent evolution
49
What is a management plan
A comprehensive plan that clearly specifics that intended objectives of the proposed project Which in this case are aim to maintain wildlife populations and the habitat that they inhabit
50
Why is habit management important
Crucial to maintaining the quality of preserving the habitat and the animal populations
51
What is habitat management
Habitat management is commonly used to maintain and enhance the biological interest of many areas of semi natural habitat where natural processes no longer create suitable conditions for disorder species improving the quality of habitats and preserving species there
52
What are the main components to consider when thinking about carrying capacity in wildlife management plan
Surveying the land Equipment Permissions
53
What are biomes
A large naturally occurring community of flora and fauna occupying a major habitat
54
What are the major biomes if the world
``` Tropical rainforest Attic alphorn tundra Savanna Lake Coral reaf Desert River Wetland ```
55
What are the factors effecting animal populations

56
What is in situ conservation
Conservation inside of the natural habitat
57
Examples of in situ conservation
``` Habitat restoration Re population Protected areas Rehabilitation centres Education Restoration ```
58
What is ex situ conservation
Conservation outside of natural habitat
59
What are examples of ex situ conservation
Captive breeding Research Education Fundraising
60
What is the uk biodiversity action plan
Published in 1994 List of species ranging from most threatened to last consent 1150 consent
61
What is the ICUN

63
What is barrier nursing
A set of infection control techniques to prevent disease spreading
64
What are examples of barrier nursing
PPE Isolation Food dip Clinical waste bags
65
Why is isolation used in wildlife rehabilitation
Prevent spread of disease | Prevent imprinting
66
What diseases need barrier nursing
``` Avian flu Lyme disease Ring worm Myxomatosis E cuniculi Lyme disease Blue tong Mange Foot and mouth ```
67
What is a initial assessment
A structured physical examination allows the vet/ nurse to obtain a complete assessment of the casualty observation and inspection of the injury or condition are used to gather information clinical judgement of assessment requires
68
What is triage
The assignment of degrees of around your to wounds or illness to decide the order of treatment of a large number of casualties
69
When doing a health check why is it important to start at the heat and work down the body
Every areas is checked | Prevent cross contamination
70
What equipment is used for handling and restraint
``` Crash cage Catch pole Gauntlet glove Muzzle Bird net Snake hook Swab hooks Swab bag Towel ```
71
What are the steps after triage
``` Euthanasia Veterinary assessment Fluid therapy Oxygen therapy Release in the wild Captive enclosure while treating ```
72
What information must be recorded on admission
``` Location and time found Weather and season Age gender weight Social needs Diet Reason Housing Previous care History Finder details ```
73
What are the aims of accommodation
Reduce stress Reduce injury Care and husbandry
74
Type of housing
Incubator Skippers Cadges Cubicle
75
What are considerations of housing
``` Cleaning Substrate Care Layout Isolation Heating Safety ```
76
What dose it need to be released
Locate food Avoid predators Compete defend Behaviour
77
What are the types of release
Soft | Hard
78
What are the legislations
Wildlife and countryside act 1981 - protect all wildlife Veterinary Surgeons act 1966- conditions only vets can do Wild nameless act 1996- protect wildlife mammals Protection of badger act 1992- protect badger Deer act 1991- protect deer Conservation of habitat and species regulations 2010 Conservation of seals act 1970
