AP Biology Chapter 53 Guided Reading (revised from Mrs. Miriello) Name ___________________________ 1. Define interspecific interactions. 2. What is the relationship between interspecific competition and The Competitive Exclusion Principle? 3. Contrast the following terms: ecological niche, fundamental niche, realized niche and resource partitioning. 4. Define and give an example of the following physiological defense adaptations. Cryptic coloration Aposematic coloring Batesian Mimicry Müllerian mimicry 5. Give an example of a plant defense against herbivory. 6. Define and give two examples of parasitism Page 1 of 3 7. Define and give two examples of mutualism. 8. Define and give two examples of commensalism 9. Is the evolution of Batesian mimicry an example of coevolution? Support your answer. 10. What is the difference between a food chain and a food web? Which provides a more “full” ecological picture and why? 11. Write the terms and explain the two hypotheses that address the question as to why food chains are relatively short. 12. How do you characterize the dominant species? How is this different from the keystone species? 13. Compare and contrast the bottom-up model with the top-down model. Page 2 of 3 14. What is disturbance? Is disturbance always negative - give an example to justify your answer. 15. Define ecological succession. 16. Compare and contrast primary and secondary succession. 17. Define: species richness relative abundance 18. Describe two factors that affect species richness in a community. 19. In the Island Biogeography Model, what 2 factors influence species diversity? 20. What is the relationship between size of the island and the rates of immigration & extinction? 21. What is the relationship between the distance from mainland of the island and the rates of immigration & extinction? Page 3 of 3
