What type of population growth is shown by species such as Phlox drummondii with no overlapping generations? Geometric population growth Limited population growth Linear population growth Logistic population growth What type of population growth will likely occur for invasive species during the period in which they are expanding into a new territory? Exponential population growth Limited population growth Linear population growth Logistic population growth
The studies by Carroll and Boyd (1992) and Carroll et al. (1998) testing for adaptation in soapberry bugs took advantage of 3 new species of plants introduced by accident to Florida and southcentral USA. 3 new species of plants introduced on purpose to Florida and southcentral USA.
3 new species of soapberry bugs introduced by accident to Florida and southcentral USA
3 new species of soapberry bugs were introduced on purpose to Florida and southcentra What type of population growth is characteristic of populations that are colonizing a new habitat and by populations that are recovering from the effects of habitat destruction or hunting when these have been curtailed?
Exponential population growth Linear population growth Logarithmic population growth Logistic population growth What is a synonym (2 words) for age distribution? Your Answer:

Getzin et al. (2006) looked at the small scale distribution pattern of trees in a Douglas-fir forest on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Their surprising results were that
they expected that strong competition would result in a clumped distribution pattern, but they found a pattern.
they expected that strong competition would result in a clumped distribution pattern, but they found a pattern. they expected that strong competition would result in a regular distribution pattern, but they found a pattern. they expected that strong competition would result in a regular distribution pattern, but they found a pattern. In which theoretical type of survivorship curve is the rate of mortality constant over time? Type I Type II Type III Type IV he reciprocal transplant study by Carroll et al. (1998) demonstrated adaptation in soapberry bugs because natural selection did not occur.
when soapberry bugs that normally live on native host plants were moved to introduced
reproductive rates decreased.
when soapberry bugs that live on introduced plants are moved to native plants, their su decreased. both b and c. In the studies by Damuth (1981) and Peters and Wassenberg (1983) on animals and the study by White (1985) on plants, what was the relationship between organism size and population density?
There is a negative relationship between organism size and population density in most
There is a positive relationship between organism size and population density in most p
There is a positive relationship between organism size and population density in most a between organism size and population density in most plants.
There is a positive relationship between organism size and population density in most p between organism size and population density in most animals. We looked at calculating rates of population change in Phlox drummondii, an annual plant, and found that R0 = 2.418. What can we infer about the fate of this population from this value? The population is constant, i.e. not changing in number. The population is decreasing. The population is increasing. We cannot make inferences about population change using this information. What type of survivorship curve would you predict for a species with a small number of offspring but high parental care? Type I Type II Type III Type IV What type of study did Gote Turesson (1925) use to test for genetic variability among plant populations?
Common garden study Reciprocal transplant study Transplant study Unintentional study What type of study did Gaston Bonnier (1890) use to test for developmental plasticity in Potentilla tormentilla plants in lowland and alpine sites in Europe? Common garden study Reciprocal transplant study Transplant study Unintentional study To demonstrate adaptation in Potentilla glandulosa, Clausen and colleagues (1940) showed that phenotypic differences among populations were based on genetic differences using a ___________ study, and that each population survived best in its home environment using a _____________ study. common garden, reciprocal transplant common garden, unintentional reciprocal transplant, common garden reciprocal transplant, unintentional A theoretical type II survivorship curve is a straight line when the number of survivors is plotted on the x-axis using a logarithmic scale. the number of survivors is plotted on the x-axis using an arithmetic scale. the number of survivors is plotted on the y-axis using an arithmetic scale. the number of survivors is plotted on the y-axis using a logarithmic scale.

The results of Gaston Bonnier's (1890) transplant studies on Potentilla tormentilla in lowland and alpine sites illustrated
acclimation. adaptation. developmental plasticity. ecotypes. Root (1988) and Brown and colleagues (1995) looked at the large scale distribution patterns of bird populations across North America. They expected a clumped distribution pattern, but found a regular distribution pattern. They expected a clumped distribution pattern, which was consistent with their results. They expected a regular distribution pattern, but found a clumped distribution pattern. They expected a regular distribution pattern, which was consistent with their results.
What environmental variable did Ted Case (1976) determine to be the best predictor of variation in body size among populations of chuckwallas in the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico? Average summer rainfall Average winter rainfall Elevation Variation in winter rainfall In Gote Turesson's (1925) common garden study on Campanula rotundifolia in Sweden, Norway, and Germany he found that different clones grown in the same environment were morphologically the same. different clones grown in the same environment were morphologically different. different populations grown in the same environment were morphologically the same. different populations grown in the same environment were morphologically different. What is a synonym (2 words) for distribution pattern? Your Answer:
