Monarch butterflies are toxic and unpalatable to predators because they:
| 1. | incorporate the toxic chemicals from the milkweed they eat |
| 2. | produce their own secondary compounds |
| 3. | break down the toxic chemicals from the milkweed they eat |
| 4. | live with symbionts that secret toxins |

Number of species in a community is an indicator of its:
| 1. | spatial heterogeneity | 2. | ecosystem productivity |
| 3. | species diversity | 4. | species richness |
Identify the correct statement:
| 1. | Eutrophic lakes contain fewer nutrients than oligotrophic lakes. |
| 2. | Xerarch succession is a primary succession that occurs in water bodies. |
| 3. | Most ecologists believe that most communities achieve stable, unchanging climax vegetation. |
| 4. | A mature ecosystem has greater species richness, greater biomass, and less net productivity than a younger stage of succession. |
A species that has a disproportionately large effect on its natural environment relative to its abundance is called as:
| 1. | keystone species | 2. | niche |
| 3. | competitor | 4. | predator |
Competitors can coexist indefinitely only by:
| 1. | niche differentiation | 2. | contest competition |
| 3. | interference competition | 4. | scramble competition |
Population size is unlikely to be limited by:
| 1. | predation | 2. | commensalism |
| 3. | competition | 4. | brood parasitism |
Rapid loss of nutrients from terrestrial ecosystems is not caused by:
| 1. | clear-cutting native forest | 2. | early seral stages |
| 3. | climax communities | 4. | low diversity |
The consequences of high population density of a population will include all except:
1. toxic waste accumulation
2. an increase in mortality
3. ignorance of overabundant prey by the predators
4. a reduction in reproduction
