Question

True or False: Ecology is the isolated study of organisms interact with each other/other living organisms 2. True or False: Climate is the short term atmospheric conditions in a specific location 3. True or False: Coastal communities see slightly warmer winters and slight cooler summers than communities just a few miles inland 4. True or False: Terrestrial biomes are defined by latitude and moisture levels 5. True or False: More than one biome can be found at the same latitude True or False: As water depth increases, availability of sunlight decreases True or False: Turbidity is critical for measurement of water salinity 8. True or False: Behavioral traits are the result of evolution 9. True or False: Innate behaviors are more flexible than learned behaviors 10. True or False: All animal behaviors are geared toward increased fitness 11. True or False: Animals consciously choose specific behaviors that increase reproductive success 12. True or False: Rover Drosophila are favored at low population density 13. True or False: Age structure provides information about the number of individuals in each age group within a population 14. True or False: An organism that has a large number of offspring cannot also have very large offspring 15. True or False: Some populations go through cyclical changes in density. In the example discussed in class, predation played a critical role in the cyclical population density. 16. True or False: Interspecies competition occurs between individuals of the same species 17.

True or False: Animals can only communicate with other of their species 21. True or False: Animals (excluding humans) will only be altruistic if it will ultimately benefit them in the long run 22. True or False: Parasites can manipulate the appearance of their host to further their own fitness at the hosts expense True or False: Some ecosystems require periodic fires for success 24. True or False: some species participate in more than one food web 25. True or False: Biomagnification is the process of species getting larger over evolutionary time 26. True or False: global climate change will result in similar increases in temperatures all over the planet 27. True or False: Increased CO2 production leads to the acidification of the ocean 28. True or False: All living species have been accounted for and their genomes sequenced 29. True or False: an invasive species poses no threat to the local ecosystem it is invading 30. True or False: There are millions of acres of conservation land within New York State 31. True or False: New York State is free of invasive species 32. True or False: New York state has no endangered species 33. Which of the following best describes causes of seasonality in the northen hemisphere?
