16
Q

What are two predation strategies?

A

Sit and Wait
Active Pursuit

17
Q

Define:
Parasitism

A

Only one species benefits from the association between the parasite and the host; Affect fitness of the host, but doesn’t result in the host’s direct death

18
Q

Define:
Herbivory

A

Similar to parasitism but between herbivores and plants, affect fitness of the plant, but doesn’t result in the plant’s direct death

19
Q

Define:
Parasite Simple Life Cycle

A

When a parasite species uses ONE host species to complete their life cycle and survive

20
Q

What is the parasite simple life cycle also known as?

A

Direct Life Cycle

21
Q

Define:
Parasite Complex Life Cycle

A

When a parasite species uses AT LEAST 2 different host species to complete their life cycle and survive

22
Q

What is the parasite complex life cycle also known as?

A

Indirect life cycle

23
Q

Define:
Parasitoids

A

When an adult is free living, but its offspring develop in OR on the host and KILL it

24
Q

___________ is always changing according to the Red Queen Hypothesis

A

Interactions

25
Q

What are the 10 main adaptations to reduce enemy impact?

A

Physical (thorns, shells etc.)
Behavioral (Aggression etc.)
Autonomy (lose a body part)
Chemical (resin, skunks)
Camouflage (blend into environment)
Mimesis (mimics other organism)
Bodyguards (symbiosis)
Herd effect (for herds to defend against predators)
Detection of predators (confusion effect)
Synchronized Emergence (prey all emerge at the same time)

26
Q

What is the ecology of fear?

A

While interactions with predators may not result in death, it can change behaviours

27
Q

What are food webs?

A

Complex interaction of species within an environment

28
Q

Define:
Guild

A

Share at least one prey and occupy the same trophic level

29
Q

What is host manipulation?

A

A parasite-induce alteration of a host’s phenotype that increases parasite fitness

30
Q

True or False:
Host manipulation improves the probability of transmission

A

True, it can however lead to dead ends as the transmission may not be ideal

31
Q

Define:
Intraguild Predation

A

The killing and sometimes eating of a potential competitor of a different species

32
Q

Define:
Keystone species

A

A species that has a large effect on its environment
