Species Interact in Five Major Ways• Interspecific Competition
• Predation
• Parasitism
• Mutualism
• Commensalism
![Page 5: Bio 105 Chapter 5](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052602/55a0209a1a28ab23788b45d5/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Most Species Compete with One Another for Certain Resources
• For limited resources
• Ecological niche for exploiting resources
• Some niches overlap
![Page 6: Bio 105 Chapter 5](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052602/55a0209a1a28ab23788b45d5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Some Species Evolve Ways to Share Resources
• Resource partitioning• Using only parts of resource
• Using at different times
• Using in different ways
![Page 7: Bio 105 Chapter 5](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052602/55a0209a1a28ab23788b45d5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Some Ways Prey Species Avoid Their Predators
Fig. 5-5, p. 109
![Page 13: Bio 105 Chapter 5](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052602/55a0209a1a28ab23788b45d5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Some Species Feed off Other Species by Living on or in Them
• Parasitism
• Parasite is usually much smaller than the host
• Parasite rarely kills the host
• Parasite-host interaction may lead to coevolution
![Page 14: Bio 105 Chapter 5](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052602/55a0209a1a28ab23788b45d5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

![Page 15: Bio 105 Chapter 5](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052602/55a0209a1a28ab23788b45d5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
In Some Interactions, Both Species Benefit
• Mutualism
• Nutrition and protection relationship
• Gut inhabitant mutualism
• Not cooperation: it’s mutual exploitation
![Page 16: Bio 105 Chapter 5](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052602/55a0209a1a28ab23788b45d5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

In Some Interactions, One Species Benefits and the Other Is Not Harmed
• Commensalism
• Epiphytes
• Birds nesting in trees
![Page 19: Bio 105 Chapter 5](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052602/55a0209a1a28ab23788b45d5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Most Populations Live Together in Clumps or Patches (1)
• Population: group of interbreeding individuals of the same species
• Population distribution 1. Clumping
2. Uniform dispersion
3. Random dispersion
![Page 21: Bio 105 Chapter 5](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052602/55a0209a1a28ab23788b45d5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Most Populations Live Together in Clumps or Patches (2)
• Why clumping?1. Species tend to cluster where resources are
available
2. Groups have a better chance of finding clumped resources
3. Protects some animals from predators
4. Packs allow some to get prey
![Page 22: Bio 105 Chapter 5](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052602/55a0209a1a28ab23788b45d5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

![Page 24: Bio 105 Chapter 5](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052602/55a0209a1a28ab23788b45d5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Populations Can Grow, Shrink, or Remain Stable (1)
• Population size governed by• Births• Deaths• Immigration• Emigration
• Population change =
(births + immigration) – (deaths + emigration)
![Page 25: Bio 105 Chapter 5](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052602/55a0209a1a28ab23788b45d5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Populations Can Grow, Shrink, or Remain Stable (2)
• Age structure• Pre-reproductive age• Reproductive age• Post-reproductive age
![Page 26: Bio 105 Chapter 5](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052602/55a0209a1a28ab23788b45d5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Some Factors Can Limit Population Size
• Range of tolerance• Variations in physical and chemical environment
• Limiting factor principle• Too much or too little of any physical or chemical
factor can limit or prevent growth of a population, even if all other factors are at or near the optimal range of tolerance
• Precipitation• Nutrients • Sunlight, etc
![Page 27: Bio 105 Chapter 5](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052602/55a0209a1a28ab23788b45d5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

No Population Can Grow Indefinitely: J-Curves and S-Curves (1)
• Size of populations controlled by limiting factors:• Light• Water• Space• Nutrients• Exposure to too many competitors, predators or
infectious diseases
![Page 29: Bio 105 Chapter 5](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052602/55a0209a1a28ab23788b45d5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
No Population Can Grow Indefinitely: J-Curves and S-Curves (2)
• Environmental resistance • All factors that act to limit the growth of a population
• Carrying capacity (K)• Maximum population a given habitat can sustain
![Page 30: Bio 105 Chapter 5](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052602/55a0209a1a28ab23788b45d5/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
No Population Can Grow Indefinitely: J-Curves and S-Curves (3)
• Exponential growth• Starts slowly, then accelerates to carrying capacity
when meets environmental resistance
• Logistic growth• Decreased population growth rate as population size
reaches carrying capacity
![Page 31: Bio 105 Chapter 5](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052602/55a0209a1a28ab23788b45d5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

![Page 32: Bio 105 Chapter 5](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052602/55a0209a1a28ab23788b45d5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
When a Population Exceeds Its Habitat’s Carrying Capacity, Its Population Can Crash
• A population exceeds the area’s carrying capacity
• Reproductive time lag may lead to overshoot• Population crash
• Damage may reduce area’s carrying capacity
![Page 33: Bio 105 Chapter 5](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052602/55a0209a1a28ab23788b45d5/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Exponential Growth, Overshoot, and Population Crash of a Reindeer
Fig. 5-17, p. 116
![Page 34: Bio 105 Chapter 5](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052602/55a0209a1a28ab23788b45d5/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Species Have Different Reproductive Patterns (1)
• Some species
• Many, usually small, offspring• Little or no parental care• Massive deaths of offspring• Insects, bacteria, algae
Tend to grow at exponential rates.
![Page 35: Bio 105 Chapter 5](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052602/55a0209a1a28ab23788b45d5/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Species Have Different Reproductive Patterns (2)
• Other species• Reproduce later in life• Small number of offspring with long life spans• Young offspring grow inside mother• Long time to maturity• Protected by parents, and potentially groups• Humans• Elephants
Tend to grow at logistic rate.
![Page 36: Bio 105 Chapter 5](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052602/55a0209a1a28ab23788b45d5/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Under Some Circumstances Population Density Affects Population Size
• Density-dependent population controls• Predation• Parasitism• Infectious disease• Competition for resources
![Page 37: Bio 105 Chapter 5](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052602/55a0209a1a28ab23788b45d5/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Several Different Types of Population Change Occur in Nature
• Stable
• Irruptive• Population surge, followed by crash
• Cyclic fluctuations, boom-and-bust cycles• Top-down population regulation• Bottom-up population regulation
• Irregular
![Page 38: Bio 105 Chapter 5](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052602/55a0209a1a28ab23788b45d5/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Humans Are Not Exempt from Nature’s Population Controls
• Ireland• Potato crop in 1845
• Bubonic plague• Fourteenth century
• AIDS• Global epidemic
![Page 40: Bio 105 Chapter 5](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052602/55a0209a1a28ab23788b45d5/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Communities and Ecosystems Change over Time: Ecological Succession
• Natural ecological restoration• Primary succession-start from nothing• Secondary succession-start with cleared soil
![Page 41: Bio 105 Chapter 5](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052602/55a0209a1a28ab23788b45d5/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Some Ecosystems Start from Scratch: Primary Succession
• No soil in a terrestrial system
• No bottom sediment in an aquatic system
• Takes hundreds to thousands of years
• Need to build up soils/sediments to provide necessary nutrients
![Page 42: Bio 105 Chapter 5](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052602/55a0209a1a28ab23788b45d5/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Primary Ecological Succession
Fig. 5-19, p. 119
![Page 43: Bio 105 Chapter 5](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052602/55a0209a1a28ab23788b45d5/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Some Ecosystems Do Not Have to Start from Scratch: Secondary Succession (1)
• Some soil remains in a terrestrial system
• Some bottom sediment remains in an aquatic system
• Ecosystem has been• Disturbed• Removed• Destroyed
![Page 44: Bio 105 Chapter 5](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052602/55a0209a1a28ab23788b45d5/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

Secondary Ecological Succession in Yellowstone Following the 1998 Fire
Fig. 5-21, p. 120
![Page 46: Bio 105 Chapter 5](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052602/55a0209a1a28ab23788b45d5/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Some Ecosystems Do Not Have to Start from Scratch: Secondary Succession (2)
• Primary and secondary succession• Tend to increase biodiversity• Increase species richness and interactions among species
• Primary and secondary succession can be interrupted by• Fires• Hurricanes• Clear-cutting of forests• Plowing of grasslands• Invasion by nonnative species
![Page 47: Bio 105 Chapter 5](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052602/55a0209a1a28ab23788b45d5/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Succession Doesn’t Follow a Predictable Path
• Traditional view • Balance of nature and a climax community
• Current view • Ever-changing mosaic of patches of vegetation• Mature late-successional ecosystems
• State of continual disturbance and change
![Page 48: Bio 105 Chapter 5](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052602/55a0209a1a28ab23788b45d5/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Three Big Ideas
1. Certain interactions among species affect their use of resources and their population sizes.
2. There are always limits to population growth in nature.
3. Changes in environmental conditions cause communities and ecosystems to gradually alter their species composition and population sizes (ecological succession).
