What is the term that means a range of different species in a community?
an ecosystem
Is it true that most species can only survive and reproduce in an environment with abiotic factors within a certain range?
Yes, this is true.
What is a mountain ecosystem?
A mountain ecosystem is a mountain chain (mountain range) which has many valleys and high and long mountain slopes. The largest mountain ecosystem in the world is The Himalayas.
What is the leech's role in the ecosystem?
Lemmings eat a range of mammals, from lions to polar bears to even some species of unicorn. Your Welcome.
What is ecological amplitude?
Also known as ecological valence, the degree of adaptation of a living organism to changes in its environment. A species trait, ecological amplitude is expressed quantitatively as the range of environmental changes within which a given species is able to carry on its normal vital activities.
What is a range in a ecosystem?
The range of a population or a species is defined as the geographical area where the population or species is found.
What is the term that means a range of different species in a community?
an ecosystem
What is a fundamental niche?
A fundamental niche is the theoretical role, place, or function that a species has within its ecosystem, such as trophic position, life history, habitat, and geographical range. This niche can be filled or not by the species, but it is assigned to it. Realized niche is the role that the species fills in reality, and is often narrower than the fundamental niche.
What is sympatric?
When there is no physical barrier, a new species arises within the home range on an existing species.
What are the three measures to life's variations?
Adaptation: The ability to adjust to changing environmental conditions. Diversity: The range of different species and genetic variations within an ecosystem. Evolution: The process of natural selection and genetic change over time that leads to species' adaptation to their environment.
What is realized niche?
A realized niche refers to the different conditions or positions of the different species in an ecosystem. The realized niche is the range in which each species specifically falls.
What is sympatric speciation?
When there is no physical barrier, a new species arises within the home range on an existing species.
How does the introduction of nonnative species changes affect an ecosystem?
Non-native species affect an ecosystem because they are organisms that are living outside of their natural range. This non-native species is a lot like pollution. It can harm or destroy native species because they compete or hunt for their food and water. Hope this helps!! :)
What term best describes the evolution of two species of frogs separated by a mountain range?
geographical isolation
What is biodiverisity?
the range of organisms present in a particular ecological community or system. It can be measured by the numbers and types of different species, or the genetic variations within and between species.
What is allee principle all about?
The Allee Principle presents the idea that for every population of organisms within the ecosystem there is some intermediate optimal density within its optimal density range at which the population will best flourish. At the higher end of the density range, intraspecific competition (competition within a population/species) becomes heightened and resources become scarce, where as at the lower end of the optimal range we near the critical minimum density for the population at which genetic drift becomes probably due to population loss, thus some middling population density will be the most desirable for the population.hope this helps! :)
What is probability distibution?
A statistical function that describes all the possible values and likelihoods that a random variable can take within a given range.
