Draw and label graphs (including zero-growth isoclines) showing the predicted behavior of the Lotka-Volterra predator/prey equations if we assume prey growth follows and exponential growth model. Show how the graphs would change of the prey follow a logistic growth model.
If the rate of some process is governed by the abundance of prey individuals, we say that it is prey-dependent. Give some examples of prey-dependent processes.
What is often true of a population of organisms with a type Ill suvivorship curve? they produce few offspirng and invest more energy in each offspring they produce more offspring and invest little energy in each they have low death rates during early life stages they are equally likely to die at any age
Your textbook uses this graph as evidence for human hunting driving early exctinctions. Highlight this evidence by interpreting the important information on the graph. Start by accurately describing the way the graph looks, then identifying and describing important numbers and trends. When discussing numbers and trends, use the units and information found on the x and y axis. Finish with a conclusion. What does it tell us about prey switching and impacts of predation on biodiversity? Partridges and other small birds Hares and other small mammals Tortoises and shellfish
This is a system dynamics model of the Lotka-Volterra Predator-Prey model. The two stocks in the model are prey and predators. The _________ __________ of the prey and predators change in response to the inflows ______and outflows_____. Each iteration the stock changes by the inflows minus the outflows, or ___________________________. The ___________ feedback is the result of the interconnections between the predator and the prey. The prey _________ the predators, and the predators ________the prey. This simple interaction allows the system to _____________. When the predators ________the prey, the small numbers of prey leads to the predators __________. With a __________ in predators the prey_____________, and the cycle continues.
Describe the predation strategy (i.e., actively searching or ambush) of zebrafish under a well-lit environment.
Which feeding strategy is most likely to be associated with an organism that does not have a nervous system? Detritus feeding Herbivory Suspension feeding Parasitism Predation
Use the following simple predator-prey relationships to answer the questions about the system below (assume no other interactions exist in this system). Mice eat grain grown by a farmer before it can be harvested. The mice are consumed by several species of snakes, which themselves are consumed by hawks. A. If the population of snakes was suddenly wiped out by disease, explain the short-term effects on the grain, mice, and hawk populations, and why these effects would be observed. B. If the population of snakes were suddenly wiped out by disease, explain the long-term effects on the grain, mice, and hawk populations, and why these effects would be observed. C. Local farmers would like to use a biological, as opposed to a chemical, means to protect their crop. What would be the most effective way for farmers in this area to protect their grain crop naturally? Why? Edit View Insert Format Tools Table 12pt ✓ Paragraph BIUA V 2 ✓ T² v :
In the paired ODE model, the factor that contributes to the growth of the population of the predators is affected by the death rate of the predator affected by the population of the prey directly affected by the rate of predation O always constant
When looking at fish populations the number of eggs produced at spawning is known as: Group of answer choices Recruitment Fishery production Spawn-o-rama Osmoregulation Carrying Capacity
Define predation. How does the predator-prey relationship differ from the parasite-host relationship? Why is the evolutionary race be-tween predator and prey one that the predator cannot afford to win?
Besides an increase in predation what other factors might be involved in the decrease in a prey population? O depression in reproduction due to crowding increased intraspecific competition O increase in the incidence of parasitism and disease increased resource partitioning
