Answer: This theory of foraging factors in energy received and handling time. Question: What is the optimal foraging theory? Category 3: $400

Answer: This form of symbiosis benefits one species and has no effect on the other species. Question: What is commensalism? Category 3: $500

Answer: This is the simplest measure of community structure. Question.: What is species richness? Category 4: $100

Answer: This type of species has a disproportionate impact on the community relative to its abundance. Question: What is a keystone species? Category 4: $200

Answer: TTRT the changes in the physical and biological structures of communities as one moves across the landscape. Question: What is zonation? Category 4: $300

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: $400

Answer: This type of change during succession is caused by the community itself. Question: What is autogenic environmental change? Category 4: $500
