3. Species become endangered for many reasons. Which is NOT a reason causing problems in our world today ?
   1. natural causes
   2. hunting - over exploitation
   3. loss of biogenetic diversity between species
   4. introduction of non-predator exotics
   5. habitat modification
4. What factors predispose (make it more likely that ) a species will become endangered ?
   1. easily spotted
   2. high reproductive rates
   3. "r" selected species
   4. "j" selected species

5. This designation is used to give biologists more tools with which to manage endangered and threatened species?
   1. Environmental equivalency
   2. Experimental, non-essential
   3. Pittman-Robertson Act
   4. conservation reservation program
   5. duplicative reintroductions
6. This Endangered Species Act classification affords NO protection to the listed species (e.g. Loggerhead shrike):
   1. Species of special concern
   2. Threatened species
   3. Endangered species
   4. Replicated species
   5. Subspecies
7. Listing of a species depends upon:
   1. population trends (increasing, decreasing etc.)
   2. ecology of the species
   3. financial resources
   4. amount of information available on the species
   5. all of the above
8. These agreements are often made with private landowners to promote habitat development to benefit endangered species without additional restrictions:
   1. Conservation Program Agreements
   2. Endangered Landowners Agreements
   3. Shelter Species agreements
   4. Safe harbor agreements
   5. Status exemption agreements
9. Section 7 of the ESA mandates interagency consultation which means:
   1. private landowners must consult with USFWS on any project
   2. the Forest Service must consult with USFWS on any project which may harm threatened or endangered species
   3. the USFWS must consult with the Forest Service on any project it undertakes
   4. the BLM must consult with the Forest Service on any project which involves endangered or threatened woodland species
   5. none of the above
