Levels of Organization in Ecology
1. Biosphere
• refers to the thin volume of Earth and its atmosphere that supports life and abiotic factors
![Page 5: Notes on Ecology. eco - household ology – study of Ecology – study of the interactions between organisms and the living (biotic) and nonliving (abiotic)](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649f215503460f94c39d92/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Notes on Communities
Communities – groups of interacting populations within an ecosystem
![Page 66: Notes on Ecology. eco - household ology – study of Ecology – study of the interactions between organisms and the living (biotic) and nonliving (abiotic)](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649f215503460f94c39d92/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Species Interactions within the communities
1. Mimicry
• harmless species resembles a poisonous or distasteful species
• often mistaken to be dangerous
![Page 67: Notes on Ecology. eco - household ology – study of Ecology – study of the interactions between organisms and the living (biotic) and nonliving (abiotic)](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649f215503460f94c39d92/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Ex. king snake looks like the poisonous coral snake, bees, wasps

• parasite – feeds on another individual (benefited)
• host – individual being fed on (harmed)
• does not lead to immediate death
![Page 72: Notes on Ecology. eco - household ology – study of Ecology – study of the interactions between organisms and the living (biotic) and nonliving (abiotic)](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649f215503460f94c39d92/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)

Ex. shark and remora
![Page 76: Notes on Ecology. eco - household ology – study of Ecology – study of the interactions between organisms and the living (biotic) and nonliving (abiotic)](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649f215503460f94c39d92/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
4. Predation – the way in which food is primarily obtained by the killing and consuming of animals
• predator’s survival depends on the ability to capture food
• prey’s survival depends on the ability to avoid being captured

The Exponential Model
• population increases rapidly
• the larger, the faster it grows
• occurs naturally for short periods of time due to “Boom and Bust”
• the limiting factor will restrict exponential growth in real situations

Greenhouse Effect
• sometimes called global warming
![Page 131: Notes on Ecology. eco - household ology – study of Ecology – study of the interactions between organisms and the living (biotic) and nonliving (abiotic)](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649f215503460f94c39d92/html5/thumbnails/131.jpg)
The more CO2 the hotter the earth will be
• CO2 acts like a blanket on earth
• CO2 is release when fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) are burned

• January 1940 the average temperature was 35.4° F
Global Warming in Ringgold?
• January 2011 the average high temperature was 50.0° F
Most scientists now call this phenomenon “global climate change” –the sum of human impact on our weather patterns.
Climate change indicates the shift toward extreme weather patterns across the globe (not just an increase in temp). The year 2011 is a prime example of extreme weather.

Ozone Depletion
• O3 is found in the upper atmosphere where it is used to screen harmful UV rays
• chlorofluorocarbons (CFC’s) destroy O3 molecules
UV rays cause cancer and cataracts
CFC’s found in aerosol cans-stopped producing in 1995

Water Pollution
Many types:
• fertilizer – wash off from plowed fields
• biological pollution (bacteria, viruses)
• radioactive substances

Waste • Solid, liquid and gas wastes
• Some waste is hazardousFlammable, Unstable (explosive), corrosive or toxic
• Comes from plants, animals or humans (household, Industrial, Municipal or Agricultural Waste)

Sanitary Landfills
• Holes in ground that are lined (to prevent water leeching) and covered
• Gases build up, must have vents
