Question

Rates of this process are the edge weights in a stepping-stone model. The rate of this process increases with area in the target effect and co-varies with extinction in island biogeography. This process rescues (20[2])the dying patches in a (20[1])metapopulation. Zooplankton do this process “diel,” or every day, (20[1])in a vertical direction. (20[2])In (20[1])matrix (20[1])models, the net rate of this process plus (20[1])(*) birth rate minus (10[1])death rate (10[2])equals the change in population (10[2])size. (10[6])Open populations (10[1])can undergo this process from (10[1])sources (10[1])to sinks. Barriers against this mechanism (10[1])of gene flow cause allopatric speciation. Wildebeest in the Serengeti do this process in a circle, following the rain. (10[2])For 10 points, name this often seasonal change in an animal’s habitat. (10[2])■END■ (10[8])

ANSWER: migration [or migrating; or emigration or immigration; prompt on gene flow or allele flow until read by asking, “What is the mechanism?”; prompt on movement or motion or synonyms like changing habitats; prompt on swimming or floating]
