ectotherms?
Category 1: $200
Answer: This is the enzyme
used by most plants to
catalyze photosynthesis.
Question: What is the enzyme
rubisco?
Category 1: $300
Answer: During this process,
the body temperature of some
homeotherms drops to
ambient for part of the day.
Question: What is torpor?
Category 1: $400
Answer: In this reproductive
style, an organism sacrifices
future prospects in one
suicidal act of reproduction.
Question: What is
semelparity?
Category 1: $500
Answer: This is a digestive
process that is dominant under
anaerobic conditions in most
vertebrates.
Question: What is
fermentation?
Category 2: $100
Answer: This term refers to the
number of individuals per unit
area.
Question: What is population
density?
Category 2: $200
Answer: This type of
population growth considers
the effect of density.
Question: What is logistic
growth?
Category 2: $300
Answer: This term refers to a
group of individuals born in the
same period of time.
Question: What is a cohort?
Category 2: $400
Answer: TTRT a progressive
decline in plant density and
increase in biomass of
remaining individuals.
Question: What is selfthinning?
Category 2: $500
Answer: In metapopulation
ecology, the extinction rate of
a given patch is determined by
this physical attribute.
Question: What is the patch
area?
Category 3: $100
Answer: TTRT the total range
of environmental conditions
under which a species can
survive.
Question: What is the
fundamental niche?
Category 3: $200
Answer: This is the total
number of outcomes predicted
by the Lotka-Volterra
competition models.
Question: What is the number
four?
Category 3: $300
Answer: This response is
characteristic of predators
moving into area of high prey
density.
Question: What is aggregative
response?
Category 3: $400
Answer: This theory of
foraging factors in energy
received and handling time.
Question: What is the optimal
foraging theory?
Category 3: $500
Answer: This form of
symbiosis benefits one
species and has no effect on
the other species.
Question: What is
commensalism?
Category 4: $100
Answer: This is the simplest
measure of community
structure.
Question.: What is species
richness?
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?
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?
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?
Category 4: $500
Answer: This type of change
during succession is caused
by the community itself.
Question: What is autogenic
environmental change?
Category 5: $100
Answer: Our current
capitalistic system does a
meager job at pricing this type
of capital.
Question: What is natural
capital?
Category 5: $200
Answer: TTRT traditional
agriculture as practiced in the
wet tropics.
Question: What is swidden
agriculture?
Category 5: $300
Answer: The current
industrialized system of
agriculture will not be viable 50
years from now for this geologic
phenomenon?
Question: What is peak oil?
Category 5: $400
Answer: TTRT a theoretical concept
in conservation biology that describes
the number of individuals of a species
that can be sustained for 1000 years.
Question: What is a minimum
viable population?
Category 5: $500
Answer: This is the greatest
shortcoming of the human
race according to Dr. Albert
Bartlett.
