Population density declines with decreasing organism
size.
False
100
A group of interbreeding organisms that represents the level of organization at which speciation begins
Population
100
Insects that are abundant in tropical and subtropical
environments, where they gather nectar and pollen from
a wide variety of flowers
Stingless Bees
100
One in which individuals within a population have an equal chance of living anywhere within an area.
Random Distribution
100
The fish that was found in streams across most of the east central United States and was abundant enough that early ichthyologists cited it as one of the most common and most valuable food fishes in the region.
Lagochila lacera
200
Environment limits the geographic distribution of species
True
200
The average number of individuals or units per space
Density
200
What is the statistical study of populations and how it changes overtime?
Demography
200
What is the actual niche of a species whose distribution is limited by biotic interactions such as competition, predation, disease, and parasitism?
Realized Niche
200
Who devised a classification of commonness
and rarity?
Deborah Rabinowitz (1981)
300
On small scales, individuals within populations are
distributed in patterns that may be random, irregular, or
clumped.
False
300
What continent do large scale of kangaroo species dwell?
Australia
300
What kind of population are likely to have greater variability and thus more potential to adapt to changes
Large population
300
A type of small scale distribution where one in which individuals are uniformly spaced
Regular Distribution
300
Example of species that combine small geographic ranges with narrow habitat tolerances and low population densities are the rarest of the rare.

The degree to which a living organism is suited to a particular environment.
Fitness

What is the physical conditions under which a species might live, in the absence of interactions with other species?
Fundamental Niche
400
A phenomenon where plants secrete toxins to inhibit growth of nearby individuals
Allelopathy

Rare species are more vulnerable to extinction than are
common species
True

What is the chemical substances secreted
by some animals for communication with other members of their species.
Pheromones
500
The proportion of a particular allele of a gene in the gene pool of the population.
Gene Frequency
500
The individuals have a much higher probability
of being found in some areas than in others
Clumped Distribution
500
Sub-filled of ecology that deals with the dynamics of species population and how these populations interact with the environment.
