Preview Questions Ecologist | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: How does landscape connectivity influence ecosystem management efforts?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It exclusively focuses on preserving isolated habitats without considering species migration

It allows species to migrate and access resources, maintaining genetic diversity and ecosystem functions

It creates barriers between ecosystems, reducing species movement and gene flow

It focuses only on restoring fragmented habitats without considering species movement

Question 2: What is the importance of species richness and evenness in biodiversity monitoring?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It focuses only on population size without considering species diversity

It provides a measure of diversity and balance within ecosystems, highlighting ecological health

It reduces the understanding of ecosystem dynamics by excluding species balance

It solely focuses on the most abundant species, ignoring rarer ones

Question 3: What is the purpose of multi-species management in ecosystem management?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It focuses solely on one species at a time, ignoring ecosystem dynamics

It considers the needs of multiple species and their interactions within the ecosystem, ensuring holistic conservation

It ignores the role of habitat in favor of species protection

It reduces conservation efforts by focusing only on economic species

Question 4: What is the role of resilience in ecosystem management?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It excludes human interventions, focusing on natural processes

It focuses solely on increasing species diversity without considering ecosystem stability

It reduces the impact of invasive species without restoring ecosystem functions

It refers to an ecosystem's ability to recover from disturbances and maintain its functions and services

Question 5: What is the role of ex-situ conservation (e.g., zoos, botanical gardens) in species recovery?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It reduces the importance of in-situ conservation by focusing on artificial habitats

It excludes public involvement in favor of scientific control over species

It focuses solely on species population growth without considering natural habitat restoration

It provides controlled environments for breeding, research, and education, supporting in-situ conservation efforts

Question 6: What is the significance of long-term data in biodiversity monitoring?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Long-term data only focuses on immediate species health

It helps identify seasonal variations

Long-term data is essential to detect trends in biodiversity change

It eliminates the need for regular monitoring
