DQuestion 7 1 pts The Shannon index is a method for quantifying: Species diversity within a community O Species evenness Species richness O Beta diversity among communiti es D Question 8 1 pts Which of the following traits are more commonly associated with K-selected species compared to r-selected species? faster generation times, slower growth rates, longer lifespans, large number of offspring O faster generation times, larger number of offspring, faster growth rates, shorter lifespans O slower generation times, smaller number of offspring, slower growth, longer lifespans D Question 9 1 pts Climate is the primary determinant of the location of the Earth's major biomes True False

Explanation / Answer

Answer for the question number 7 : The correct answer is A ( Species diversity in a community).

Answer for question number 8 : The correct answer is C

Explanation: r selected populations have a high intrinsic rate of growth (r) and tend to boom when environmental conditions are favourable.

k- selected populations have relatively constant density at or near the carrying capacity of the environment. The level beyond which no major increase can occur represents the saturation level. OR The maximum population size that can be supported by the available resources (Carrying capacity)
