The relationship between species richness and potential
evapotranspiration (PET) is:
Group of answer choices
An exponential relationship known as the evaporation-richness
hypothesis
A linear relationship known as the evaporation-richness
hypothesis
A linear relationship known as the energy-diversity
hypothesis
A logarithmic relationship known as the energy-diversity
hypothesis
9. Be able to
explain how disturbance influences community structure and species
richness
10. Be able to
describe ecological succession (both primary and secondary) and why
succession occurs
11. Be able to
explain the equilibrium theory of island biogeography
What is the difference between symmetric competition and
asymmetric competition? How would you expect species to react,
adapt and evolve in response to each type of competition?
How would you calculate the population size of a species of
plant? How would you calculate the population size of a species of
mice?
Practice: A biologist originally marked 40 butterflies in a
park. Over a period of 30 days, butterfly traps caught 200
butterflies. Of the 200 captured, 8 were found to have tags. Based
on this information, what is the estimated population size of the
butterflies in the Park?
1.Discuss how ecosystem structure/function and species
richness/diversity are tied to one another in terms of structure
and function determining diversity, and diversity determining
structure and function. How might these effects be different at
local compared to global scales?
