Conservation Biology and Wildlife Management
  1. Conservation biologists differ from wildlife managers in that:
    1. Conservation biologists are mostly practical while wildlife managers are mostly theoretical.
    2. Wildlife managers main goal is to manipulate populations while conservation biologists try to maintain diversity.
    3. Wildlife managers are mostly in academia while conservation biologists are mostly in state agencies.
    4. none of the above.
  2. What level(s) of diversity are conservation biologists interested in ?
    1. genetic diversity
    2. species diversity
    3. ecosystem diversity
    4. all of the above
    5. none of the above
  3. Which was NOT given as an example in the text of conservation biologists and wildlife managers working together ?
    1. spotted owls
    2. Isle Royale wolves
    3. African cheetah
    4. brown-headed cowbirds
    5. all WERE examples used in the text
  4. The theory of island biogeography predicts that:
    1. small islands should have more species than large ones.
    2. patches close to sources (or each other) will have fewer species than patches farther away.
    3. equilibrium number of species is related to patch size and distance from source populations.
    4. none of the above.
  5. The 'rescue effect' is
    1. successful re-introduction of a species to a habitat.
    2. immigration that genetically augments effective population size.
    3. programs that have successfully taken endangered species, like the bald eagle, off the threatened and endangered species list.
    4. none of the above.
