An invasive plant gets into your garden. It spreads through andout-competes all of you plants, reducing the local diversity. Whichprinciple applies most directly?

		character displacement
		sympatric and allopatric speciation
		random variation and stochasticity
		competitive exclusion principle

A muskrat has a litter of offspring with another muskrat. Thenanother litter 7 months later, then 4 years later. Whichreproductive strategy best applies?

		Parthenogenisis
		Iteroparity
		Semelparity
		Hermaphroditism

During the North American summer, large areas of the Midwesthave very high albedo. This is likely because of

		Fruiting plants
		Flooding in plains
		Ice formation in mountains
		Loss of plants in fields

Nesting birds often display this type of distribution ordispersion pattern, often resulting from competition. (Forexample... how their nests are individually spaced)

		Clumped
		Uniform
		Random
		Linear distribution

The energy from the sun must be directly converted into chemicalenergy by heterotrophs for living organisms to use it.

		True
		False, it must be converted by chemotrophs
		False, it must be converted by phototrophs

Which of the following is a characteristic of a K-selectedspecies

		High reproductive rate
		Typically found in temporary habitats
		Late sexual maturity
		Minimal parental care

		After the formation of continents one billion years ago, therehave been no occurrences of primary succession.
		There is virtually no soil at the start of primary succession,and thus it must be made before many plants can be sustained.
		There is a fast recovery time at the beginning of primarysuccession.
		It will often be triggered after a fire.
