Chapter 5 Review: Biodiversity, Species Interaction and Population Control 1. Read the Case Study (Sea Otters). 2. Define interspecific competition, predation, parasitism, mutualism and commensalism. 3. Give examples of each of the above relationships. 4. What is the competitive exclusion principle? 5. What is a(n) omnivore, herbivore, detritivore, carnivore? 6. What methods do predators use to capture prey? 7. What methods do prey use to escape capture? 8. What are the long term effects of parasites? 9. What is camouflage? Mimicry? Give examples of each. 10. What is co-evolution? 11. Read the insert on Kelp Forests. 12. What are the conditions that considered in population dynamics? 13. What is biotic potential? Logistic growth? Environmental resistance? Exponential growth? Carrying capacity? 14. What are the age structure categories? 15. What is the intrinsic rate of increase (r) 16. What is represented by a ‘J’ curve? An ‘S’ curve? 17. What causes a population overshoot? 18. What is characteristics of a ‘r-selected’ species? A ‘K-selected species’? Give an example of each. 19. Which has higher genetic diversity? 20. What is the founder effect? Inbreeding? Genetic drift? How are they related? 21. What is density-dependent population control? Density-independent? 22. What is irruptive population growth? Cyclic population growth? 23. Describe primary succession. Secondary succession. 24. How is soil formed? 25. What is a pioneer species? Early successional species? What is the difference? 26. Reffering to an ecosystem what is inertia? Resilience? 27. Explain the concept of tipping point. 28. Understand figure 5-11 on page 111. Figure 5-12 on page 111. Figure 5-13 on page 112.
