The LAST Quiz! Lecture Quiz 6 Jeopardy
Provide the equations for geometric growth, exponential growth,and logistic growth.
Geometric: Nt= NoλtExponential: dN/dt= rmaxNLogistic: dN/dt= rmaxN(1-N/K)
Compare and contrast three adaptations of predators and prey
Predators: Acute senses, Forward-facing eyes, VenomPrey: Adapted coloration, Defensive structures, Outward-facing eyes
Many prey together get attacked by a predator. All prey run in different sporadic directions, and the predator can’t lock onto one to attack. Increases the chance for prey survival.
Contrast interference competition and resource competition, and provide one example of a species experiencing that competition for each
Interference – Active behavior to alter competitors’ use of a resource (Damselfish compete for space)Resource – Use of the same resources (Trees sharing light or nurients)
Provide the equations used to calculate each of these factors:Net Reproductive RateMean Generation TimePer Capita Rate of IncreasePopulation Size Change Over Time
Net Repro Rate: Ro =∑lxmxAvg. Gen Time: T = ∑ xlxmx / RoPer Cap. Rate Increase: r = ln Ro / TPop Size Change: dN/dt = B - M + I - E
Provide all of the beneficial/harmful types of predator prey interactions (+/-/0) and provide a real-life example of one of them
0 0 neutralism- - competition+ + mutualism+ - predation, parasitism+ 0 commensalism- 0 amensalism
Strongly competing species cannot persist (one will be eliminated)
Provide a definition for each of the following variables pertaining to population growth:RoxlxMxTr
Ro = Net reproductive ratex = Age interval in yearslx = % pop. surviving to each age (x)Mx = Average number eggs produced by each individual in each age categoryT = Average Generation Timer = Per Capita Rate of Increase
List the 3 types of defensive mechanisms used by prey against predators
Provide one example of predator prey interactions discussed in class, and explain whether or not that predator affects the population size of its prey completely
Snowhare-Lynx:Predators alone did not control prey population size, but predation coupled with food supply had a large effect
Plants produce chemicals that inhibit competing plant growth
Define Elton’s concept of a niche and explain what might happen if two species share the same niche
The functional role of an organism in its community. Two species sharing a niche will experience interspecies competition
Cryptic: Camouflage to blend in with its surroundingAposematic: Warning coloration to deter predators
List the 3 types of mimicry, and explain the scenario in which they would occur
Batesian: Palatable mimics unpalatableMullerian: Unpalatable mimics unpalatableMertensian: Deadly mimics unpalatable
The number of individuals of a population the environment can support
List the 3 hunting types, and provide on example of an animal that performs that type for each.
Ectomycorrhizae: form a sheath around plant roots; grow between root cells; some may penetrate into root cells Arbuscular mycorrhizae: penetrate into cortex of the root, form special structures called arbuscules
