statement or answers the question PLEASE NOTE SOME QUESTIONS HAVE ONLY 4 CHOICES THIS IS INTENTIONAL 1 What is the main purpose of the wildlife corridor A to connect two otherwise isolated populations B to slow down the introduction of new individuals of a species C to facilitate the transfer of individuals back and forth between populations D to slowly introduce a species to a new preserve 1 2 3 2 A cow s herbivorous diet indicates that it is a n A secondary consumer B primary consumer C producer D decomposer E autotroph 3 You observe two female sh of the same species breeding One female lays 100 eggs and the other female lays 1000 eggs Which one of the following statements does not agree with the concept of tness trade offs A The female laying 1000 eggs should be larger than the female laying 100 eggs B The female laying 100 eggs should live longer than the female laying 1000 eggs C The female laying 100 eggs should be able to breed more often compared to the female laying 1000 eggs D The eggs from the female laying 1000 eggs should have larger yolks compared to the yolks of the eggs from the female laying 100 eggs 4 Which of the following assumptions have to be made regarding the capture recapture estimate 4 of population size I Marked and unmarked individuals have the same probability of being trapped II The marked individuals have thoroughly mixed with population after being marked III No individuals have entered or left the population by immigration or emigration and no individuals have been added by birth or eliminated by death during the course of the estimate A I and II only B II and III only C I only D II only E I II and III 5 In a debate about the destruction of tropical wet forests the arguments keep focusing on 5 biodiversity and how this affects the animals themselves as well as the ecosystem What is one direct bene t of biodiversity to humans that you can argue to help people understand why these forests need to be preserved A The diversity could contain a new crop plant for agriculture B This diversity could contain undocumented insect species C The diversity could contain novel drugs for consumers D The areas could be visited by tourists for pro t Page D 1 A White 1 B Blue 2 C Pink 3 D Yellow 4 6 How can an oil spill affect a sea otter s ability to maintain its body temperature 6 A It interferes with the sea otter s ability to clean and maintain its waterproof outercoat of B Oil spills have no direct effect on a sea otter s ability to maintain their core body C It eliminates their food source so the starving sea otters quickly metabolize their fur temperature insulating fat reserves D It makes the undercoat less resistant to water rendering their insulation ineffective 7 Which of the following consume other living organisms A primary producers B herbivores C carnivores D both herbivores and carnivores E decomposers 8 A limitation in the Kelm et al 2008 paper s experimental design was that A More than one of the above B seeds collected each morning were assumed to be dropped by bats C Only seeds found in fecal samples were counted as seed rain D Dropped seeds were collected once a day at dawn and may have been dropped by birds during the prior day E collected seeds were not identi ed to permit species diversity to be measured 7 8 9 In table 2 above distributed signi cantly more seeds per sample in the 9 habitat thatn compared to the alternate site A Carollia perspicillata disturbed B Carollia perspicillata forest C Carollia castanea disturbed D Carollia castanea forest E more than one of the above 10 Which of the following groups would be most likely to exhibit uniform dispersion 10 A red squirrels who actively defend territories B dwarf mistletoes which parasitize particular species of forest tree C moths in a city at night D lake trout which seek out deep water E cattails which grow primarily at edges of lakes and streams Page D 2 A White 1 B Blue 2 C Pink 3 D Yellow 4 Refer to Figure 55 1 a diagram of a food web for the following questions Arrows represent energy ow and letters represent species 11 If this were a terrestrial food web the combined biomass of C D would probably be 11 Figure 55 1 A greater than the biomass of A B less than the biomass of E C less than the biomass of A B D greater than the biomass of B E less than the biomass of H 12 Which of the following interactions can correctly be labeled coevolution 12 A the tendency of coyotes to respond to human habitat encroachment by including pet dogs and cats in their diets B a genetic change in a virus that allows it to exploit a new host which responds to virus imposed selection by changing its genetically controlled habitat preferences C the adaptation of cockroaches to human habitation D a genetic change in foxes that allows them to tolerate human presence and food E the ability of rats to survive in a variety of novel environments 13 Which of the following is are supported by the evidence collected in the Kelm et al 2008 13 study A There are not enough natural roosts for bats in the disturbed forest B There is more seed dispersal in the disturbed area than in the undisturbed area C There was far greater diversity of bats in disturbed areas compared to undisturbed forests D Bats are poor seed dispersers for shrubs but do very well speading seeds from late succession plants E More than one of the above is supported by the study 14 During succession tall canopies of maple trees form allowing chipmunks to be better hidden 14 against hawks This is an example of A interaction B tolerance C inhibition D facilitation Page D 3 A White 1 B Blue 2 C Pink 3 D Yellow 4 15 Which of the following is are not criticisms Holl 2008 had of the Kelm et al 2008 study 15 A The study of bat feces could provided such limited data that it didn t support any conclusions B Seeds are unlikely to survive even if they make it to the pasture so the conclusion that seed rain will aid in reforestation is a stretch C There were no bat roosts in open areas so it was not possible to conclude an open area would bene t from arti cial bat roosts being placed there D There was very little seed rain in the pastures and the study didn t measure whether or not the seeds germinated E A and D 16 Which of the following is NOT an advantage …
