Evolution
The cumulative genetic changes that occur in a population of organisms over time Current theories proposed by Charles Darwin, a
19th century naturalist Occurs through natural selection
Natural Selection Individuals with more favorable genetic traits are
more likely to survive and reproduce Frequency of favorable traits increase in
subsequent generations

Natural Selection
Based on four observations about the natural world:
1. High Reproductive Capacity2. Heritable Variation3. Limits on Population Growth, or a Struggle For
Existence4. Differential Reproductive Success

Principles of Population Ecology
Population Ecology Study of populations and why their numbers
change over time Important for
Endangered species Invasive species
Population Group of individuals of same species living in the
same geographic area at the same time
![Page 9: Ecosystems and Living Organisms 5. © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Overview of Chapter 5 Evolution: How Populations Change Over.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649e695503460f94b66611/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Population Density
Population density The number of individuals of a species per unit
area or volume at a given time Ex: minnows per Liter of pond water
Ovals below have same population, and different densities
![Page 10: Ecosystems and Living Organisms 5. © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Overview of Chapter 5 Evolution: How Populations Change Over.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649e695503460f94b66611/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Growth Rate
The rate of change of a population’s size, expressed as percent per year r = b − d r = growth rate, b = births/1000 people, d =
deaths/1000 people Ex: A hypothetical human population has10,000
people, and 200 births per year (20 births per 1000 people) and 100 deaths per year (10 deaths per 1000 people) r = (20 / 1000) – (10 / 1000) r = 0.02 − 0.01 = 0.01, or 1% per year

Change in Population Size

Change in Population Size
In local populations, such as the population of the United States, the number of births, deaths, immigrants, and emigrants affects population size.
![Page 13: Ecosystems and Living Organisms 5. © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Overview of Chapter 5 Evolution: How Populations Change Over.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649e695503460f94b66611/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Calculating Population Change
Birth (b), Death (d), Immigration (i) and Emigration (e) are calculated per 1000 people
Growth rate
Birth rate
Death rate
Immigration rate
Emigration rate
r = (b – d) + (i – e)

Symbiosis
An intimate relationship between members of 2 or more species Participants may be benefited, harmed or
unaffected by the relationship Result of coevolution
Three types of symbiosis Mutualism Commensalism Parasitism
![Page 34: Ecosystems and Living Organisms 5. © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Overview of Chapter 5 Evolution: How Populations Change Over.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649e695503460f94b66611/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
© 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
Mutualism
Symbiotic relationship in which both members benefit
Ex: Mycorrihzal fungi and plant roots Fungus provides roots with unavailable nitrogen
from soil Roots provide fungi with energy produced by
photosynthesis in the plant
Left: root growth without fungi
Right: root growth with fungi
![Page 35: Ecosystems and Living Organisms 5. © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Overview of Chapter 5 Evolution: How Populations Change Over.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649e695503460f94b66611/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
© 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
Commensalism
Symbiotic relationship where one species benefits and the other is neither harmed nor helped
Ex: epiphytes and tropical trees
Epiphytes uses tree as anchor
Epiphyte benefits from getting closer to sunlight, tropical tree is not affected
![Page 36: Ecosystems and Living Organisms 5. © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Overview of Chapter 5 Evolution: How Populations Change Over.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649e695503460f94b66611/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
© 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
Parasitism
Symbiotic relationship in which one species is benefited and the other is harmed Parasites rarely kill their hosts
Ex: ticks Ticks attach
themselves to skin of animals and consume their blood
![Page 37: Ecosystems and Living Organisms 5. © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Overview of Chapter 5 Evolution: How Populations Change Over.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649e695503460f94b66611/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Predation
The consumption of one species by another Many predator-prey interactions
Most common is pursuit and ambush Plants and animals have established specific
defenses against predation through evolution
![Page 38: Ecosystems and Living Organisms 5. © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Overview of Chapter 5 Evolution: How Populations Change Over.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649e695503460f94b66611/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Pursuit and Ambush
Pursuing prey - chasing prey down and catching it Ex: Day gecko and spider (below)
Ambush - predators catch prey unaware Camouflage Attract prey with
colors or light

Plants cannot flee predators Adaptations
Spikes, thorns, leathery leaves, thick wax Protective chemicals that are poisonous or
unpalatable

Keystone Species
A species that exerts profound influence on a community More important to the community than what would
be expected based on abundance The dependence of other species on the
keystone species is apparent when the keystone species is removed Protecting keystone species is a goal to
conservation biologists

Species Richness
The number of species in a community Tropical rainforests =
high species richness Isolated island = low
species richness Related to the
abundance of potential ecological niches

Community Development
Succession: the process where a community develops slowly through a series of species Earlier species alter the environment in some way
to make it more habitable by other species As more species arrive, the earlier species are
outcompeted and replaced Two types of succession
Primary succession Secondary succession
![Page 46: Ecosystems and Living Organisms 5. © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Overview of Chapter 5 Evolution: How Populations Change Over.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012916/56649e695503460f94b66611/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Primary Succession
Succession that begins in a previously uninhabited environment No soil is present Ex: bare rocks, cooled lava fields, etc.
General Succession Pattern Lichen secrete acids that crumble the rock (soil
begins to form)
Lichen mosses grasses shrubs forestsLichen mosses grasses shrubs forests
