2. Factors such as temperature, amount of light, rainfall that affect geographic distribution

3. abiotic

4. Level of ecology which deals with factors controlling exchange of energy, materials, and organisms among different ecosystems

5. Landscape ecology

6. Lakes that are nutrient poor, deep, fairly nonproductive, but oxygen rich

7. oligotrophic

8. The aquatic zone that supports detritivores

9. benthic

10. Shallow region of ocean over continental shelf

11. Neritic zone

12. Type of dispersion of red squirrels defending their territory

13. uniform

14. This type of table would interest insurance companies DOUBLE JEOPARDY

15. Life tables

16. Type of survivorship curve that features high mortality of young

17. Type III

18. Traits in a population That maximize Population growth, Such as rapid reproduction of small offspring.

19. R-selected

20. Factors affecting populations such as famine, plagues, earthquakes, etc.

21. Density- independent factors

22. A morphological trait that allows two sympatric species to avoid competition

23. Character displacement

24. The specific “spot” where an organism prefers to be

25. Realized niche

26. King snakes with same coloration as coral snakes

27. Batesian mimicry

28. Type of relationship between clownfish and sea anemones

29. mutualism

30. These species will be “missed” if taken out of a community

31. Keystone species

32. The amount of light energy converted into chemical energy DOUBLE JEOPARDY

33. Primary Productivity

34. Formula for NPP

35. NPP=GPP-R

36. Trophic Efficiency from one level to another

37. 5 – 20%

38. A producer would be

39. A

40. Reservoirs of this element include fossil fuels, ocean sediments, plant and animal biomass

41. Carbon

42. When CO 2 and water vapor bounce infrared radiation back to earth

43. Greenhouse effect

44. Rain, sleet, and snow with a pH below 5.2 due to industrial emissions

45. Acid Rain

46. A process in which compounds such as toxins increase in each successive link of the food chain

47. Biological magnification

48. Can cause algae blooms and can lead to eutrophication

49. Elevated nitrogen

50. Thinning of the ozone layer causes

51. Global warming
