Community interactions

Competition individuals or species trying to use the same limited
resource
![Page 7: Ecosystems](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816320550346895dd39893/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Competition competitive exclusion principle – 2 species
cannot occupy the same niche in the same habitat at the same time

Predator/Prey - +/- -the predator catches the prey- One organism captures and kills
another

Two species living closely together

Symbiosis

Symbiosi
s a.Mutualism - +/+
both species benefit
![Page 11: Ecosystems](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816320550346895dd39893/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Symbiosisb. commensalism
- +/0
– one benefits, the other is not helped nor
harmed Example – a bird’s nest
in a tree OR barnacles on whales

Symbiosi
s c. Parasitism - +/- one species benefits (parasite), one is harmed
(host)

Ecological Succession – natural
progression of an environment 1. primary succession – starting where there is no soil

2. secondary succession – where there was a community, but it has been removed
![Page 15: Ecosystems](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816320550346895dd39893/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Climax Community – last stage of succession, ecosystem has reached equilibrium
![Page 16: Ecosystems](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816320550346895dd39893/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Important characteristics of populations
•geographic distribution – the area inhabited by a
population•density –
number of individuals per unit area•growth rate –
depends on birth rate and death rate
![Page 17: Ecosystems](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816320550346895dd39893/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
low density high density
•density – number of individuals per unit area

Growth rate of bacteria•some bacteria can divide every 20 minutes•first 20 minutes – there will be two bacteria•in one hour - there will be 64 bacteria•in one day – there would be:
4,720, 000,000,000,000,000,000
or 4.72 x 1021

Logistic growthas resources become limited•growth rate slows or stops•carrying capacity is reached
•Carrying Capacity – maximum population size an area can support

Limiting factors nutrient space carbon dioxide level
density-dependent – competition, predation, disease, parasitism
density-independent – weather, human activities, seasonal cycles

Populations are dependent on Predator/Prey Relationships
