This is the total number of individuals of the same species that live in a certain area.
Population
1 of 14
When using sampling methods, you must take a ___ enough sample to make a reliable estimate.
Big
2 of 14
When using sampling methods, you must sample ________ to make it more representative of the population.
Randomly
3 of 14
A technique to gather small insects. Have to be systematic to get representative results and is difficult to get an idea of numbers.
Pooters
4 of 14
This sampling method is used in long grass or moderately dense woodland. Don't get representative results not good to find numbers of organisms.
Sweepnets
5 of 14
The _______ traps are set into the ground to catch small insects. A mixture of ethanol or detergent is sometimes used to kill the samples.
Pitfall
6 of 14
These are square frames that typically have sides of length 0.5m. Must be placed randomly. Can estimate the population of a certain species.
Quadrats
7 of 14
A capture/recapture method to estimate animal populations called the _______ index.
Lincoln.
8 of 14
A gradual change in the distribution of a species across a habitat.
Zonation.
9 of 14
Part of the physical environment where an animal or plant lives.
Habitat
10 of 14
Total number of individuals of all the different populations of organisms that live together in a habitat at any one time.
Community
11 of 14
Variety of different species living in a habitat.
Biodiversity
12 of 14
Physical environment with a particular set of conditions, plus all the organisms that live in it.
Ecosystem
13 of 14
Man-made ecosystem, carefully controlled to keep the conditions constant. Biodiversity lower that non man-made ones.
Artificial.
