1. select all of the potential ways that organism can respond to
rapid change to their environment such as can result from climate
change
-benefit from changed environment
-change tolerance via phenotypic plasticity in response to the
new environment
-go extinct
-move to more suitable environments
-use changes in day length to time life-history events
-change tolerance via adaptive evolution in response to the new
environment
-tolerate the changed environment
-preemptively food storage behaviors in anticipation of
increasing drought prevalence
-preemptively increase birthrate so that increased deaths from
climate change do not cause population decline
2. in coral reefs and numerous other ecosystems, climate change
is predicted to result in _______(a) diversity. This is expected
because climate change will ______(b), and corals are ______(c) in
the ecosystem,
options
(a) increased, decreased or stable
(b) increase zooxanthellae production
-cause increased ocean pH thereby allowing corals to
proliferate
-exacerbate numerous stressors that act together to cause coral
decline
-cause higher sea temperatures and directly kill off
corals
(c)
-ecologically mismatched
-foundational species
-mid-successional species
-top predators
