Match the abiotic factors with their influence on aquatic biomes:

You are given the following data on population densities for two herbivores, Species X and Species Y, in an experimental plot with varying abundances of the same plant species: Plant Abundance (biomass) Species X Density (ind/km²) Species Y Density (ind/km²) Low 5 15 Medium 10 20 High 18 10 A. Based on the data, what might be a reason for the decrease in Species Y density at high plant abundance? B. What ecological concept could explain the contrasting densities of Species X and Y at high plant abundance?

A metapopulation consists of multiple populations that are separated by space but connected through __________, allowing individuals to move between populations and recolonize areas where local extinctions have occurred.

Which of the following best describes a trade-off in life history strategies?

You are studying a population of grasshoppers and you calculate its population growth using a life table. You get a value for Ro of 1. What would the equivalent value be for the per-capita growth rate, r?

You are given the following data for a population of rabbits over several years. Analyze the population size over time and determine what kind of growth this population exhibits: Year Population Size 1 10 2 50 3 150 4 300 5 450 6 500 7 510 8 515

When looking at a test’s sensitivity and specificity, we want values to be at least “fair.” What is the low value of the “fair” range? 

In order to obtain a more accurate, fair assessment, select the following measures that SLPs should use, in addition to norm-referenced assessments when appropriate: 

If a test has 70% specificity at a given cut score, that means that [value1]% of individuals will correctly be identified not disordered, while [value2] will be incorrectly identified as having a disorder when they are actually “normal.” 

The starting point for test administration and scoring is referred to as the [term1], while [term2] refers to the ending or stopping point in test administration. The test manuals determine the rules for each; these vary by test which makes studying the manual so important!
