Three examples from the live 100-question bank. Answers appear after attempting them in practice mode.
Example 1 · difficulty 1/5
Alexander von Humboldt observed that, within a region, species richness increases with increasing explored area, but only up to a limit. Which equation correctly expresses this species-area relationship, where S is species richness, A is area, and C and Z are constants?
- A. S = C + ZA
- B. log A = log S + Z log C
- C. log S = log C + Z log A
- D. S = C − Z log A
Example 2 · difficulty 3/5
In the species-area relationship log S = log C + Z log A, the regression coefficient Z is usually 0.1 to 0.2 for small islands (e.g., plants in Britain) but rises to 0.6 to 1.2 for vast continental tracts such as tropical forests. A very steep slope (high Z value) indicates that:
- A. species richness climbs sharply with area, so even a moderate shrinkage of habitat eliminates a disproportionately large number of species
- B. species richness stays practically unchanged as the sampled area increases
- C. beyond a certain point, exploring additional area yields virtually no new species
- D. the community is dominated by generalist species with very wide geographic ranges
Example 3 · difficulty 2/5
Species diversity generally decreases from the equator towards the poles. Evaluate the following proposed explanations for the greater biodiversity of the tropics: (i) Tropical environments, being less seasonal and more constant, promote niche specialisation; (ii) Temperate regions underwent repeated glaciations, giving them extra time for speciation; (iii) The tropics receive greater solar energy, supporting higher productivity. Which combination is correct?
- A. (i) and (ii) only
- B. (i) and (iii) only
- C. (ii) and (iii) only
- D. (i), (ii) and (iii)
