Q

Alternative definitions of habitat selection

A
  1. when habitats are used disproportionately more then their estimated availability or accessibility in environments
  2. when used habitats differ statistically in structure, configuration, composition from unused or randomly selected habitats
  3. When habitat occupancy/use correlates directly with demographic parameters

Q

4th order

A

micro habitats within a wetland or upland (foraging sites)

24
Q

plastic habitat selection

A

use varies from availability and differs through time perhaps due to physiological needs or resource availability

25
Q

Stenotopic selection

A

use differs from availability but is specific through time

26
Q

recombination

A

change in gene frequency related to alterations or aberrations at the gene, chromosome, or genotype level that may ultimately cause differential survival or reproduction of individuals

27
Q

meiotic drive

A

change in gene frequency due to individual organism’s manipulation of certain chromosomes during meiosis to produce disproportionally more male or female offspring

28
Q

What was the early paradigm?

A
  • 1930s-70s
  • declines in duck populations linked to drought
  • large permanent wetlands were created
29
Q

Paradigm shirt 1980s-90s

A

professionals believed intensive management of uplands and wetlands was necessary to restore duck populations

30
Q

How many university programs were endowed in waterfowl and wetlands teaching, research, and outreach?

A

8 programs

31
Q

What are the three legs of the the NAWMP?

A

waterfowl, habitat, people

32
Q

The North American Waterfowl management Plan (NAWP)

A

created geographic joint ventures and is an agreement between USA Canada and mexico

33
Q

Who endowed the University program specializing in waterfowl and wetlands teaching, research, and outreach to Clemson Unversity?

A

James C. Kennedy

34
Q

What 5 countries are presently allied by the MBTA

A

Russia, Japan, Mexico, US, and Canada

35
Q

Fredrick Lincoln used banding data to map what?

A

waterfowl flyways of North America

36
Q

Animals that exhibit Stenotopic habitat selection…

A

use differs from availability but is specific through time, and animals are specialists

37
Q

What are some examples of proximate factors?

A

flocks of conspecifics and other species, water turbidity, hemi-marsh, and landscape scale flooding

38
Q

What does this habitat suitability graphic by Stephen fretwell illustrate?

A

Fitness declines with increasing density of animals using habitats

39
Q

Why might some species of waterfowl fit a dynamic life-history strategy/

A

They can use variable environments caused by wet-dry cycles, they may exploit wet and avoid dry landscapes, and they can withhold reproductive effort in some years to conserve survival and reproductive prospects when habitat conditions improve

40
Q

gene flow

A

change in gene frequency through the exchange of genes between/ among populations of a species (snow geese)

41
Q

hybridization

A

the crossing of two distinct species with production of an intermediate phenotype (black duck x mallard)

42
Q

Market hunting of the 19th and 20th century was…

A

not necessary to control over-abundant waterfowl populations that depredated agricultural crops

43
Q

Does introgression and hybridization BOTH result in significant phenotypic changes (eg plumage) attributable to both interbreeding individuals?

A

No

44
Q

Introgression

A

introduction of genes from one species into the gene pool of another species or a closely related species, without significant phenotypic consequences

45
Q

Which definition of habitat selection relates to Stephen fretwell’s concept of habitat suitability?

A

“when habitat use correlates with demographic parameters (metrics or correlates of fitness)

46
Q

What is the title and author of this course’s textbook?

A

Waterfowl ecology and management by G.A. Baldassare and E.G. Bolen

47
Q

What two grain crops are primary influencers of the distributional changes of snow geese on wintering grounds?

A

corn and rice

48
Q

True of False: Mottled ducks in coastal SC may have been founder populations when originally introduced into this state and thus could have experience evolutionary effects from genetic drift

A

True!

49
Q

What forces generally cause evolution?

A

gene flow, meiotic drive, genetic drift, mutation, and natural selection

50
Q

Color-phase ratios within snow goose breeding colonies remain relatively stable among years because of…

A

female philopatry to natal colonies and assortative mating for color phase and assortative mating

51
Q

Successful reproduction between a blue- and white - phase snow goose is an example of…

A

gene flow

52
Q

plastic selection is _____ and stentopic selection is_____

A

plastic habitat selection varies through time with resource availability. Stentopic habitat selection is constant through time.

53
Q

What might be happening to the geographic distribution of snow and white-fronted goose populations?

A

They remain in Texas but also disperse to other rice growing areas with increased availability of waste rice, other foods, and water

54
Q

name the four recognized waterfowl flyways in North American

A
  1. atlantic 2. mississippi 3. central 4. pacific
