1.4 Into to biodiversity and biogeography

Question 1

population diversity

Answer 1

how diverse a population is (diff traits of diff organisms in the same population)

Question 2

population resilience

Answer 2

how much diff organisms survive in a population compared to the other ones

Question 3

scavenger

Answer 3

organisms that eats flesh and bones of dead animals

Question 4

ecosystem service

Answer 4

a way that humans benefit from ecosystems

Question 5

types of ecosystem services

Answer 5

provisional
regulating
supporting
cultural

Question 6

provisional ecosystem services

Answer 6

resources that are provided by nature that we can use or eat

Question 7

examples of provisional ecosystem services

Answer 7

fruits, veggies, fish, water, oils, timber, meds, energy sources

Question 8

regulating ecosystem services

Answer 8

processes that keep ecosystems healthy and functional

Question 9

examples of regulating ecosystem services

Answer 9

• waste being decomposed by organisms
• birds/bees pollinating plants

Question 10

supporting ecosystem services

Answer 10

underlying natural processes that are the foundation of ecosystems

Question 11

examples of supporting ecosystem services

Answer 11

photosynthesis, nutrient cycles

Question 12

cultural ecosystem services

Answer 12

provide meaning to humans in art and music and stupid shi like that

Question 13

examples of cultural ecosystem services

Answer 13

songs, poems, books, religious stuff

Question 14

if there is a loss in biodiversity ecosystems become ___ (more/less) healthy

Answer 14

less

Question 15

why is a loss of biodiversity bad

Answer 15

because it can make ecosystems less healthy and we humans get less services

Question 16

biodiversity

Answer 16

An ecosystem’s biodiversity includes genetic, species, and habitat diversity

Question 17

biodiversity is mostly based on what and why is that

Answer 17

because species are the basic units of biological classification, biodiversity is most commonly associated with species diversity

Question 18

how is species diversity measured

Answer 18

by measuring species richness and evenness

Question 19

biogeography

Answer 19

the process by which organisms come to live where they live

Question 20

species richness

Answer 20

the number of diff species in an area

Question 21

species evenness

Answer 21

number of organisms per species in relation to total # of organisms in all species

Question 22

if there are a lot of diff species in an area is there more or less species richness

Answer 22

more

Question 23

if a species has a lot of diff species does tit have more or less species evenness

Answer 23

more; less if there is only a few species or even one species

Question 24

relationship between species diversity, species richness, and species evenness

Answer 24

all of them are directly proportional

Question 25

ecosystem resilience

Answer 25

the ability of an ecosystem to absorb change and return to the same equilibrium state after a disturbance

Question 26

an eocysystem with higher species diveristy is ____ (more/ess) resilient

Answer 26

more

Question 27

why is an ecosystem with a higher species diveristy more resilient

Answer 27

bc of one species is killed by a disturbance there can be another type of species that is actually more fit for the new environment so the community doesn't die

Question 28

ecological niche

Answer 28

the role of a species in its environment

Question 29

types of niches

Answer 29

specialist Species or generalist species

Question 30

specialist Species have _____ (broad/narrow) niches

Answer 30

narrow

Question 31

generalist Species have _____ (broad/narrow) niches

Answer 31

broad

Question 32

specialist Species

Answer 32

species that have super niche needs like they can only live in a certain place and have a certain type of food to survive

Question 33

what has a bigger threat to being endangered specialist or generalist species

Answer 33

specialist

Question 34

generalist species

Answer 34

species that can live in a wide type of habitat, eat variety of diff foods, tolerate alo tof environmental conditions

Question 35

what adapts faster generalist or specialist Species

Answer 35

generalist

Question 36

how did Pangaea affect species diversity

Answer 36

it split up some of the same species to different areas so that they had to evolve to fit diff environments

Question 37

Which of the following best describes how urban development can affect biodiversity in an ecosystem?

Answer 37

Biodiversity is highest at low levels of urban development.
