Question 9 • Environmental Science A

Which of the following is not true about the distribution of species?

Answer
A
A species’ native range does not include areas where it was introduced by humans.
B
Some species have a range they inhabit only for breeding.
C
Seasonal ranges include areas where species are found for part of the year.
D
All the organisms in an ecosystem share distribution patterns.

Explanation

Species in the same ecosystem do not all have the same distribution patterns; each species occupies areas suited to its needs and may have different seasonal or breeding ranges. The other statements are true: a native range excludes human-introduced areas, some species use particular areas only to breed, and seasonal ranges are occupied during part of the year. Therefore, the statement that is not true is “All the organisms in an ecosystem share distribution patterns.”
