Module 11 >>> Insect Conservation

Question 1

Which of the following is NOT a goal of conservation biology? Select 3 that apply.

1 / 1 point

Conserve overall biodiversity

Prevent forestry in North America

Prevent insect population level changes

Conserve threatened species

Conserve abundant species

====================================================

Question 2

Conservation projects typically begin with measurements of biodiversity, relative species abundance, or ecosystem assessments.

1 / 1 point

True

False

====================================================

Question 3

Which of the following is true of the roles of herbivorous insects?

1 / 1 point

Herbivorous insects rarely act as invasive species

Herbivorous insects can be important in controlling both native and invasive plant species

Herbivorous insects do not require conservation attention

Herbivorous insects are only important in controlling invasive plant species

Herbivorous insects have little impact on invasive species, and lead to the extinction of native plant species

====================================================

Question 4

Urbanization can negatively impact insect populations due to which of the following factors? Select 2 that apply.

1 / 1 point

Host switching as species are replaced in the urban area

Habitat loss in the urban area

Habitat fragmentation in the urban area

The evolution of resistance to chemical insecticides

Cooling of the city environment compared to surrounding areas

====================================================

Question 5

How do human-induced changes to forested habitats negatively impact some insect species? Select 2 that apply.

1 / 1 point

Cooling

Habitat loss

Fragmentation

Habitat extension

Expansion

====================================================

Question 6

Aquatic insects can be used for biomonitoring of which human-induced disturbances?

1 / 1 point

Increased forest fire frequency and severity with climate change

Fragmentation of forests

The development of a city in a previously undisturbed area

Conversion of grasslands for agriculture

The installation of a canal or reservoir

====================================================

Question 7

In what way do invasive species negatively impact native insect populations?

1 / 1 point

The invasive species disrupt the ecosystem in the introduced range

The invasive species are animals

The invasive species are larger than the native species

The invasive species reproduce asexually

None of the above

====================================================

Question 8

Which of the following is true of invasive species?

1 / 1 point

Invasive species are any organism that is found outside of its native range

Invasive ecosystem engineers, such as ants, can cause declines of native species through biotic and abiotic changes in the new range

Invasive species that are generalists are unlikely to impact native species

Intentionally introduced species are not considered invasive

Pathogens are not considered invasive species as they are primarily carried by other organisms
