When K1 and K2 are further out, what does the winner depend on?
Front
initial population sizes
Back
Preemption
Front
occurs when an individual prevents other individuals from occupying a location by occupying the space first
-passive
Back
Resource competition occurs when individuals compete _____________ by consuming a shared resource.
Front
indirectly
Back
Fundamental niche
Front
complete set of conditions under which an organism can survive and reproduce
Back
Territoriality
Front
establishmnet of an area from which others are partly excluded and is expressed behaviorally (limited to animals)
Back
What does the competition coefficient stand for?
Front
per capita effect of one species on the population growth of another species
Back
When Synedra and Asterionella are placed together why does Synedra do better?
Front
it reduced silica level to where Asterionella cannot use it and it does better at low resource conditions
Back
Allelopathy
Front
between plants and involves production of chemicals that inhibits the growth of another
Back
Character dispacement
Front
competition causes the phenotypes of competing species to evolve to become more different over time
Back
Interference competition occurs when competing individuals ___________ interact to reduce access to resources
Front
directly
Back
Lotka-Volterra equations predict that species can only coexist if _______________ competition is stronger than ________________ competition.
Front
intraspecific; interspecific
Back
Best chance for coexistance occurs when K1 and K2 are
Front
both small
-self limitation is strong on both species
Back
Is resource competition intraspecific or interspecific?
Front
Gotcha!!!! lol.
it is both
Back
Realized niche
Front
subset of fundamental niche describing the conditions under which an organism actually lives given limitations created by interactions with other species
Back
Ghost of competition past
Front
competition acting as an evolutionary force in the past can explain present day phenotypes even if no present day competition exists
Back
What is a niche?
Front
unique ecological role of a species in the environment including what it eats, where it forages, when it forages and what it needs for reproduction
Back
Resource partitioning
Front
The division of environmental resources by coexisting species
Back
Competitive exclusion principle
Front
no two species can coexist in exactly the same niche
Back
Which assumptions are frequently violated in the real world from the Lotka Volterra model?
