Describe how the timing and duration of a disruption can influence its impact on an ecosystem, using the diagram as a reference.
32
Multiple Choice
Which of the following best describes the difference between resistance and resilience in species when faced with natural disruptions?
Resistance is the ability to return to the original state after a disruption, while resilience is being unaffected by the disruption.
Resistance is being unaffected by the disruption, while resilience is the ability to return to the original state after a disruption.
Resistance and resilience both mean being unaffected by disruptions.
Resistance and resilience both refer to the speed of recovery after a disruption.

Multiple Choice
According to the intermediate disturbance hypothesis, what effect do intermediate levels of disturbance have on an ecosystem?
They decrease species diversity due to constant stress.
They increase species diversity by building resistance and resilience.
They have no effect on species diversity.
They cause extinction of most species.
52
Open Ended
Explain how natural disruptions can be both beneficial and harmful to ecosystems, using examples from the slides.

55
Multiple Select
Which of the following are possible reasons for animal migration as discussed in the slides?
To find more abundant resources
To escape from predators
To find mates
To move to areas with more favorable conditions
56
Multiple Choice
According to the intermediate disturbance hypothesis, what is the effect of intermediate levels of disturbance on ecosystem diversity?
It decreases diversity due to constant change.
It increases diversity due to the build up of resistance and resilience.
It has no effect on diversity.
It causes extinction of most species.
