Ecology• The scientific study of interactions among
organisms and between organisms and their environment or surroundings.
![Page 3: Emily Zhu, Trevor Kelly, Hanna Hoyt, Benton Bickett Period 2.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051619/56649dda5503460f94acfd7b/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Individual• An individual is a single organism of a certain
species.

Species• A group of organisms that are similar enough to
breed and produce fertile offspring.
![Page 5: Emily Zhu, Trevor Kelly, Hanna Hoyt, Benton Bickett Period 2.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051619/56649dda5503460f94acfd7b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Population• A group of individuals that belong to the same
species and live in the same area.
![Page 6: Emily Zhu, Trevor Kelly, Hanna Hoyt, Benton Bickett Period 2.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051619/56649dda5503460f94acfd7b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Communities• A collection of different populations that live in a
defined area.
![Page 7: Emily Zhu, Trevor Kelly, Hanna Hoyt, Benton Bickett Period 2.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051619/56649dda5503460f94acfd7b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Ecosystem• A collection of all the organisms that live in a
particular place together with their nonliving or physical environment.
![Page 8: Emily Zhu, Trevor Kelly, Hanna Hoyt, Benton Bickett Period 2.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051619/56649dda5503460f94acfd7b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Biome• A group of ecosystems that have the same
climate and similar dominant communities.
![Page 9: Emily Zhu, Trevor Kelly, Hanna Hoyt, Benton Bickett Period 2.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051619/56649dda5503460f94acfd7b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Biosphere• Contains the combined portions of the planet in
which all life exists, including land water and atmosphere.

Producers and Consumers
• A producer is an organism that can produce their
own food by capturing light from the sun. Also
called Autotrophs
• A consumer is an organism that relies on other
organisms for their energy and food supply. Also
called Heterotrophs.
![Page 11: Emily Zhu, Trevor Kelly, Hanna Hoyt, Benton Bickett Period 2.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051619/56649dda5503460f94acfd7b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Ecological Pyramids
• Energy• Shows the
relative amount of energy available at each trophic level.
• Biomass• Shows the
amount of organic matter at each trophic level.
• Population• Shows the relative
number of individual organisms at each trophic level.
A diagram that shows the relative amount of energy or matter contained
within each trophic level in a food chained or web.

Food Web• A chart that describes the relationships among the
various organisms in an ecosystem that form a network of complex interactions.
![Page 13: Emily Zhu, Trevor Kelly, Hanna Hoyt, Benton Bickett Period 2.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051619/56649dda5503460f94acfd7b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Habitat Vs. Niche• Habitat: where a population lives• Niche: the role a population fills in an ecosystem.
![Page 14: Emily Zhu, Trevor Kelly, Hanna Hoyt, Benton Bickett Period 2.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051619/56649dda5503460f94acfd7b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Community interactions • Predation: when one organism captures and feeds
on another organism.• Symbiosis: where 2 species live together closely.• Mutualism: where both species benefit from the
relationship.• Commensalism: when one member benefits and
the other is neither harmed nor helped.• Parasitism: where one organism lives on or inside
another organism and harms it.
![Page 15: Emily Zhu, Trevor Kelly, Hanna Hoyt, Benton Bickett Period 2.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051619/56649dda5503460f94acfd7b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Succession• A series of changes in a community in which new
populations of organisms gradually replace the existing ones.
PrimaryThe colonization of new sites, which takes place on bare rock with no soil. Takes a very long time.
SecondaryThe colonization of an existing
site that was disrupted by natural disasters or human
actions. Takes place on existing soil. Much quicker than primary succession.

Population EcologyGrowth rate: # of births + #of deaths populationCarrying capacity: the actual number of organisms that the environment can support.Limiting factors: environmental variables that limit the number of individuals in a population (food, space, water, predators)
