Sample Question 1
What is habitat fragmentation?

The natural seasonal migration of animals between different habitat types

The process by which a large, continuous habitat is divided into smaller, isolated patches by human activities or natural disturbances

The gradual improvement of degraded habitat through ecological restoration

The movement of invasive species from one habitat into another adjacent habitat

Sample Question 2
Roads and highways are a significant cause of habitat fragmentation because they physically divide continuous habitat and create barriers to wildlife movement.

True

False

Sample Question 3
How does habitat fragmentation reduce biodiversity in affected ecosystems?

By increasing the amount of interior habitat available to species that prefer forest edges

By isolating populations, reducing habitat area, increasing edge effects, and limiting the movement of species between patches, leading to local extinctions over time

By removing all predators from fragmented patches, allowing prey species to overpopulate

By increasing competition between species, which stimulates evolutionary adaptation and new species formation
