1. Projections of how future climate change could affect the
geographic ranges of species typically use (select all that apply):: a
variety of models (GCMs) depicting global climatic processes.
a variety of assumptions about the species' ability to disperse to newly
suitable locations.
a detailed description of the environmental conditions within the species'
current geographic range (known as the climate envelope).
2. Under RCP ___, emissions are predicted to peak and then start to
decline, resulting in a projected mean increase in temperature of
____ degrees Celsius.: 2.6, 1.0

3. Under RCP ___, emissions are predicted continue to rise,
resulting in a projected mean increase in temperature of ____
degrees Celsius.: 8.5, 3.7
4. Which of the following statements best describes the point
illustrated by the figure below?: Bycatch of marine mammals was
successfully reduced despite a simultaneous increase in fish harvest
through strategies of closing fishing areas during times when marine
mammal encounters were especially likely and by employing techniques
to scare away marine mammals.
5. The figure above shows the process of ________________________ as
different whale species were targeted through time.: sequential
overharvesting 6. The figure above shows the 370 kilometers from
the coastlines of nations across the globe that are the
______________________ of the individual nations. The rest of the ocean (in
light gray) is part of the global commons and sometimes known as
the high seas.: Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs)

7. Stock assessment models were used to estimate the biomass of
fish stocks at current levels of harvest (blue) and in the absence of
harvest (red). Black bars indicate the biomass that would provide
the maximum sustainable yield. The graphs below lend support to
which of the following statements?: The eight stocks shown in this
figure are NOT overharvested.
8. According to the data shown in the figure below, the worldwide
capture of fish for consumption increased steadily from the 1950s
through the mid-1980s but has since leveled off. This leveling off has
occurred primarily because: the abundance of fish in the ocean has
been reduced by overfishing.
9. An effective way to estimate the size of fish stocks of various
fisheries is to use ______________________, where the number/amount of
boats, fishing lines, nets, time, etc. is standardized to determine
overall trends in stock populations.: catch per unit effort (CPUE)
