High dispersal ability and competitive ability species likely become:

“Invasive” for high dispersal ability and competitive ability species likely become. This relationship follows from the ecological mechanism represented by the terms in the item, not merely from an association between their names. Species management must identify the demographic stage and ecological process that most strongly limits population growth. Prevention, early detection, removal, habitat manipulation, and biological control act at different points in an invasion or recovery trajectory. The remaining alternatives—“Endangered”, “Dominant”, “Specialist”—refer to different states, process

Competitive species dominate in:

“Low disturbance, high nutrients” for competitive species dominate in. This relationship follows from the ecological mechanism represented by the terms in the item, not merely from an association between their names. Survivorship curves summarize age-specific mortality: Type I concentrates loss late in life, Type II approximates a constant hazard, and Type III concentrates loss early. They are empirical patterns, not rigid taxonomic rules. The remaining alternatives—“High stress and low nutrients”, “High disturbance, high stress”, “Arctic conditions”—refer to different states, processes, or sc
