Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line

Ecology Chapter 8

front 1

What is fecundy?

back 1

The number of offspring produced by an organism per reproductive episode.

front 2

What is Parity?

back 2

The number of reproductive episodes an organism experiences.

front 3

What is determinate growth (in the context of sexual maturity and lifespan)?

back 3

A growth pattern in which an individual does not grow any more once it initiates reproduction.

front 4

What is indeterminate growth (in the context of sexual maturity and lifespan)?

back 4

A growth pattern in which an individual continues to grow after it initiates reproduction.

front 5

What is semelparity?

back 5

When an organism only reproduces once in its lifetime

front 6

What is iteroparity?

back 6

When an organism reproduces multiple times in its lifetime

front 7

What is the difference between an annual and perennial lifespan?

back 7

One year versus multiple years.

front 8

Are all semelparous organisms annual?

back 8

No. Think of the giant pacific octopus which lives roughly 5 years and reproduces once.

front 9

What does the principle of allocation state?

back 9

When resources (time, energy, and nutrients) are devoted to one body structure, physiological function, or behaviour, they cannot be allotted to another.

front 10

What trade-off might an animal experience with large offspring?

back 10

Having very few offspring at a time.

front 11

As the number of offspring a female can have at once increases the quality of parental care she can provide, the number of offspring likely to survive, and the odds of parental survival ________________.

back 11

Decreases

front 12

What is the life history of an organism?

back 12

The schedule of an organism’s growth, development, reproduction, and survival.

front 13

What life history traits can predation affect in prey organisms?

back 13

- time to and size at hatching

- time to and size at metamorphosis

- time to and size at sexual maturity
