density and increase in biomass of remaining
individuals.
Question What is self-thinning?
18
Category 2 500
Answer In metapopulation ecology, the extinction

predators moving into area of high prey density.
Question What is aggregative response?
22
Category 3 400
Answer This theory of foraging factors in energy
received and handling time.
Question What is the optimal foraging theory?
23
Category 3 500
Answer This form of symbiosis benefits one
species and has no effect on the other species.
Question What is commensalism?
24
Category 4 100
Answer This is the simplest measure of community
structure.
Question. What is species richness?
25
Category 4 200
Answer This type of species has a
disproportionate impact on the community relative
to its abundance.
Question What is a keystone species?
26
Category 4 300
Answer TTRT the changes in the physical and
biological structures of communities as one moves
across the landscape.
Question What is zonation?
27
Category 4 400
Answer This type of indirect interaction between
species was observed when the starfish Pisaster
was removed from its community.
Question What is keystone predation?
28
Category 4 500
Answer This type of change during succession is
caused by the community itself.
Question What is autogenic environmental change?
29
