Complete question:

Ecosystems in human-dominated landscapes are generally and , and support more species with - selected reproductive strategies, and are typical of succession.

Group of answer choices

fragmented, pristine, k, early fragmented, disturbed, k, early fragmented, disturbed, r, early unfragmented, disturbed, r, early unfragmented, pristine, r, early

The correct answer is number 3. fragmented, disturbed, r, early.

Ecosystems in human-dominated landscapes are generally fragmented and disturbed, and support more species with r - selected reproductive strategies, and are typical of early succession.

Explanation:

Species have different strategies to survive in different environments, reproduce, disperse, and compete. These strategies are r strategies and k strategies.

"r" species have a high growth rate per capita, low competition capabilities. This is why they can colonize new environments. But they can not compete with new-established species. "r" species are often displaced by "k" species. These species are mostly small-sized organisms with short life cycles. They reach sexual maturity early and have numerous descendants spending no time or energy in parental care. "k" species have a low growth rate per capita, but they are big competitors with the capacity of displacing other species and monopolizing the available resources. These are big-sized species that live for a long time, reaching sexual maturity in advanced stages of their lives. They do not have numerous progenies, but they spend time in parenting.

r and k strategies are closely related to reproductive strategies, habitat selection, and dispersion ability.

As human-dominated landscapes are generally fragmented and disturbed, new areas are constantly available for r species to colonize them. This is an early stage of succession when these r species arrive in the open perturbated space and colonize it. These r species start a modification in the habitat that makes it suitable for the posterior establishment of later K species. As conditions get better, competition becomes more frequently between species. The first species are eventually eliminated by competition, but new species keep appearing and competing for resources.

Ms. w, a 21-year-old woman, came into a clinic after suffering a deep laceration on her foot while walking barefoot around her yard. the wound was cleaned, sutured, and bandaged, and she was released to return home after receiving tetanus antitoxoid. within 72 hours, the wound area was red and swollen, the suture line was dark in color, and it was accompanied by severe throbbing pain. ms. w had a high fever, her heart felt like it was racing, and she was finding it hard to concentraten even on simple tasks. she returned to the clinic and was immediately taken to the hospital. following lab tests, a diagnosis of acute necrotizing fasciitis was made. discussion questions 1. explain why ms. w. received a tetanus antitoxoid before leaving the hospital. (see chapters 3 and 4, infection and passive immunity.) 2. explain how acute necrotizing fasciitis developed in this case and the pathophysiology involved. (see acute necrotizing fasciitis.) 3. what is the potential outcome for ms. w if antibiotic drugs do not reduce the infection quickly?
