- The graph above is from a paper by Dave Tilman published in 1994. Which of the following statements is consistent with the graph? A) The results contradicts the intermediate disturbance hypothesis B) Increasing diversity increases community stability C) The results support the intermediate disturbance hypothesis.arrow_forwardDetermine if each statement is correct or incorrect: 1. Ecosystems with fewer numbers of species tend to be less stable. 2. Increasing numbers of species lead to more redundancy which is bad for the ecosystem. 3. More species mean more niche separation. 4. Species with a low resistance will also have low resilience. 5. Disturbances to ecosystems can be both naturally occurring and human caused. 6. Stresses to ecosystems are useful for removing weaker species and ensuring the strongest survive. 7. Bringing non-native species into an area to increase biodiversity makes the ecosystem more stable.arrow_forwardchoose the correct alternative on the biotic potential influences:a) the average number of offspring producedb) the size of the individualsc) mortalityd) migration ratearrow_forward

Question 22 options: A) competition eliminates species when disturbance is common. B) competition eliminates species when disturbance is rare. C) species cannot colonize after intermediate disturbance. D) species diversity is highest when disturbance is rare.arrow_forwardBased on the intermediate disturbance hypothesis,a community’s species diversity is increased by(A) frequent massive disturbance.(B) stable conditions with no disturbance.(C) moderate levels of disturbance.(D) human intervention to eliminate disturbance.arrow_forward

Question 2 options: A) True B) False Question 3 If competition structures a community, then ____________. Question 3 options: A) niches should be widely separated in niche space. B) niche space should be neutral. C) the environment does not filter species. D) there is no niche overlap among species.arrow_forwardK-selected species typically a) have short life spans b) display a logistic graph c) are more competitive than r-selected species d) live close to the biotic potential, taking advantage of the environmental conditionsarrow_forwardWhat are the economic, environmental and/or biological implications of the following scenarios?

Choose 1 answer: Choose 1 answer: (Choice A) A The rat population size will likely remain small, and as a result the rats will not be able to outcompete other organisms for resources. (Choice B) B Without its typical food sources, the rat population will not be able to become established, and the island ecosystem will remain stable. (Choice C) The rat population will grow rapidly, disrupting the island's community structure by feeding on native plants and animals. (Choice D) D Without any natural predators, the rat population will become established and help increase the species diversity of the island answer explainarrow_forwardHabitats with moderate levels of disturbance have higher species diversity.
