Ap Biology Ecology Key Terms for Review Fixed action pattern Sign stimulus Operant conditioning Agonistic behavior Innate behavior Imprinting Altruistic behavior Competitive exclusion principle Density Dispersion k-selection r-selection semelparous iteroparous ecological footprint keystone species competitive exclusion principle resource partitioning limiting factors restoration ecology biodiversity Explain the following: - Identify behaviors as being proximate or ultimate How does a bird know where to migrate How do altruistic behaviors arise through natural selection Why are behaviors influenced by natural selection Differentiate between population, community and ecosystem What two factors are most significant in influencing global terrestrial climates Analyze temperature and precipitation graphs What biomes have the greatest biodiversity What factors limit primary productivity Determine what type of survivorship curve is expected for different organisms What are some factors that may affect the mark and recapture method results How will you measure population density of bats? Trees? Interpret exponential and logistic graphs How will the carrying capacity affect a populations growth Lots of experimental data analysis Compare age structure graphs and population growth Identify various type of symbiosis examples and whether +/-/0 How do fundamental and realized niches compare Identify various defenses: cryptic, mimicry, warning coloration Compare community biodiversity Why are invasive species so problematic Compare diversity of large/small islands near/far mainland Analyze food webs Compare NPP of various ecosystems provided graph Compare efficiencies of various trophic levels and apply the 10% rule using provided data Compare energy, biomass, number pyramids; what are they similar? How do microbes cycle nitrogen Calculations: Productivity efficiencies using provided data Light/dark bottle to determine : NPP=GPP-R Exponential and logistic population growth Population growth rates Mark and recapture Gross Carbon fixation
