Ecology
• Ecology from big to small– Biosphere– Ecosystem- abiotic and biotic – Communities- different species living in same area
(does not include abiotic factors)– Populations- same specie living in an area– Organism- simplest unit, makes up a population
![Page 3: Living World and Populations Review Ch’s 4, 5, and 6](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ef55503460f94c08510/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Population Dispersal
• Clumped• Random• Uniform
![Page 4: Living World and Populations Review Ch’s 4, 5, and 6](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ef55503460f94c08510/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Ecosystem Characteristics
• Physical appearance- relative size, stratification, pop distribution
• Species diversity- # of diff speices• Species abundance= # of ind of each species• Niche structure= # of eco niches, how they
resemble or differ from eachother, species interactions
![Page 5: Living World and Populations Review Ch’s 4, 5, and 6](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ef55503460f94c08510/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Ecological Niches
• A particular area within a habitat occupied by an organism that includes the function of that organism w/in an ecological community
![Page 6: Living World and Populations Review Ch’s 4, 5, and 6](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ef55503460f94c08510/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Interaction among species • Amensalism- :I = one suffers and one is not effected
– Penicillium and bacteria• Commensalism- :I = one benefits and the other is not
affected– Remora and shark
• Competition- = one benefits one is harmed– Hunting
• Mutualism- = both benefit– Bees pollinating flowers
• parasitism=- = one is benefited at the expense of another• Predation- = good for one, bad for the other
– Cougar and bunny• Saprotrophism- :I = obtain nutrients from dead or decaying
materials

Keystone species
• Really important to the ecosystem– Presence contributes to the diversity of life– If they are extinct then others will follow– Examples)
• grizzly bear: transfer nutrients: capture salmon and take them to dry land
• Sea stars: prey on sea urchins, mussels, and shellfish, they are the only natural predator, if they are removed, mussel population would grow to much and damage coral reef
• Sea otters: protect kelp forest by eating sea urchins that destroy kelp roots
• Prairie dogs: create burrows that are used as safe havens for many other species
![Page 8: Living World and Populations Review Ch’s 4, 5, and 6](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ef55503460f94c08510/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Species Diversity
• Organisms live in diff environments and are adapted to those biomes
• Aquatic- don’t spend energy on temperature regulation• Desert – succulents store water, small surface areas exposed
to sunlight• Grassland- drought resistant and grass grows our from the
bottom to regrow after being eaten• Forest- large leaves to capture scarce light• Temperate scrub forest- chapparal, small waxy coated leaves• Tundra- plants adapted to low light, small amounts of water,
low temps, grow mostly in summer
![Page 9: Living World and Populations Review Ch’s 4, 5, and 6](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ef55503460f94c08510/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Edge effect
• Local environmental changes along a boundary or edge– Example: clear cutting allows sunlight to reach
floor of forest making the ground dryer and warmer
![Page 10: Living World and Populations Review Ch’s 4, 5, and 6](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ef55503460f94c08510/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Biomes
• Antarctic• Benthos• Coastal zones• Coral reefs• Deserts• Freshwater wetlands• Grasslands• Hydrothermal vents• Intertidal• Ocean
• Savannas• Taiga• Temperate deciduous forest• Temperate rain forest• Temperate shrub land aka
Chaparral• Temperate woodlands• Tropical rainforests• Tropical seasonal forest• Tundra
![Page 11: Living World and Populations Review Ch’s 4, 5, and 6](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ef55503460f94c08510/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Energy Flow
• Sun is ultimate energy source• Photosynthesis and cell respiration= know
basic functions of it!
![Page 12: Living World and Populations Review Ch’s 4, 5, and 6](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ef55503460f94c08510/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Food webs and trophic levels
• Primary producers= autotrophs= plants– Make food/ photosynthesis
• Primary consumers= heterotrophs= herbivores– Eat plants/ cell resp
• Secondary or higher consumers= heterotrophs– Carnivores or omnivores
• Remember- arrows always go in the direction of energy flow!
![Page 13: Living World and Populations Review Ch’s 4, 5, and 6](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ef55503460f94c08510/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Ecological/Trophic Level Pyramids
• 90% of energy lost at each level• Less than 3% of light that reaches earth is
used in photosynthesis• Aquatic ecosystem is only one that can have a
larger heterotrophic biomass• All others have more biomass on lower levels
of pyramids
![Page 14: Living World and Populations Review Ch’s 4, 5, and 6](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ef55503460f94c08510/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Biodiversity
Diversity increasers• Diverse habitats• Disturbance • Conditions with low
variations• Trophic levels with high
diversity• Middle stages of succession• Evolution
Diversity decreasers • Environmental stress• Extreme environ• Supply limitations• Disturbance in extreme
amounts• Introduction of species • Geographic isolation
![Page 15: Living World and Populations Review Ch’s 4, 5, and 6](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ef55503460f94c08510/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Natural selection
• Directional selection- individuals toward one end will do well
• Stabilizing selection- pays to be normal, differences do not help
• Disruptive selection- its not good to be normal, differences are selected for
![Page 16: Living World and Populations Review Ch’s 4, 5, and 6](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ef55503460f94c08510/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Processes of natural selection
• Competition • Increase in phenotypic adaptations• Exponential increase in pop• Variations• Limited resources
![Page 17: Living World and Populations Review Ch’s 4, 5, and 6](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ef55503460f94c08510/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Define
• Speciation • Convergent evolution • Evolutionary relay• Parallel evolution • Graduated equilibrium• Punctuated equilibrium

Bio Geochemical cycles
![Page 21: Living World and Populations Review Ch’s 4, 5, and 6](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ef55503460f94c08510/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Carbon
• Major Carbon sinks:– Plant matter– Terrestrial biosphere– Oceans– Sedimentary deposits
• Marine sediments/rocks= 75,000,000 bill tons• Ocean= 40,000 bill tons• Fossil fuels= 4,000 bill tons
![Page 22: Living World and Populations Review Ch’s 4, 5, and 6](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ef55503460f94c08510/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Carbon and Atmos.
• Released back into atmosphere through:– Cellular reparation– Decay of dead material– Burning fossil fuels– Weathering of rocks– Volcanoes– Release by warm ocean waters
![Page 23: Living World and Populations Review Ch’s 4, 5, and 6](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ef55503460f94c08510/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Nitrogen
• Nitrogen fixation-(nitrogen) N2 (ammonia) NH3 or (nitrate ions) NO3-
• Nitrification- NH3 (oxidized )NO2- (nitrite) and NO3- (nitrate)
• Assimilation – when animals consume nitrogen based compounds
• Ammonification – nitrogen NH3 • Denitrification – Nitrates N2 (gas)
![Page 24: Living World and Populations Review Ch’s 4, 5, and 6](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ef55503460f94c08510/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Too much Nitrogen??
• From planting legumes• Chemical fertilizers • Burning biomass• Cattle and feedlots (wastes)• Industrial proccesses
![Page 25: Living World and Populations Review Ch’s 4, 5, and 6](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ef55503460f94c08510/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Phosphorus
• Found in rocks• Only one that is not found in the atmosphere
during any part of cycle• Released by weathering, acid rain, dissolved
into soil and taken up by plants • Key element in fertilizers• Clear cutting causes a decrease in phosphorus
in soil– Becomes limiting factor in plant growth
![Page 26: Living World and Populations Review Ch’s 4, 5, and 6](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ef55503460f94c08510/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Sulfur
• Most if found in rocks and deep ocean deposits
• Release from weathering of rocks and gas release from vents
• Form of hydrogen sulfide ( H2S) and sulfur dioxide SO2
• Converted to SO3 and then to sulfuric acid H2SO4
![Page 27: Living World and Populations Review Ch’s 4, 5, and 6](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ef55503460f94c08510/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Water
• Powered by solar energy• Precipitation • Evaporation • Transpiration• Condensation• Groundwater
![Page 28: Living World and Populations Review Ch’s 4, 5, and 6](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ef55503460f94c08510/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Human activity on water cycle Human activity Impact on water cycle
Taking water from lakes and rivers Ground water depletion and saltwater intrusion
Clearing of land for urbanization/agriculture
Increase runoff and flood risk and soil erosion
Agriculture Runoff has fertilizer in it- nitrates, phosphates, ammonia
Destruction of wetlands Disturbing natural processes that purify water
Pollution of water sources Infections, cholera, dysentery
Building power plants Increased thermal pollution of water
Sewage runoff, feedlot runoff Cultural eutrophication
![Page 29: Living World and Populations Review Ch’s 4, 5, and 6](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ef55503460f94c08510/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Population
![Page 30: Living World and Populations Review Ch’s 4, 5, and 6](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ef55503460f94c08510/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Population ecology
• PVA- population viability analysis• Factors that affect PVA– Good conditions +– Bad conditions –– Few competitors +– Unable to migrate – – No defense mechanism –– Able to adapt +
![Page 31: Living World and Populations Review Ch’s 4, 5, and 6](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ef55503460f94c08510/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Carrying capacity (K)
• S- shaped curve- logistic, shows a population reaching carrying capacity for the environment
• Fluctuations around Carry Capacity= pop growth slows down and begins to stabilize
![Page 32: Living World and Populations Review Ch’s 4, 5, and 6](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ef55503460f94c08510/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Reproductive strategies
r- strategists • Mature fast• Short life• Usually prey• Too Many offspring• Not endangered• Low prenatal care• Density dependent factors are
limits• Small• Type III surv. Curve• Insects rodents
K- strategists • Mature slow• Long life• Few offspring• Pred and prey• High parental care
![Page 33: Living World and Populations Review Ch’s 4, 5, and 6](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ef55503460f94c08510/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Survivorship Curves
• I= late loss– Low infant mortality– Death rates increase as age
increases
• II= constant loss– All age categories have
equal death rate
• III= Early loss– A lot of offspring– Death is prevalent early in
life, decrease as age increase
![Page 34: Living World and Populations Review Ch’s 4, 5, and 6](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ef55503460f94c08510/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Human Population Dynamics
• Population change= (crude birth rate + immigration) – (crude death rate + emigration)
![Page 35: Living World and Populations Review Ch’s 4, 5, and 6](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ef55503460f94c08510/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Human distribution patterns
• 1800= 65% lived in asia and europe• 1900= 25% lived in just europe (indus rev)
![Page 36: Living World and Populations Review Ch’s 4, 5, and 6](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ef55503460f94c08510/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Fertility Rates
• RLF= replacement level fertility– Couple replaces themselves ( 2 kids per couple)
• MDC= moderately developed countries• LDC- less developed countries • TFR= Total fertility rate– Avg # of kids per womans lifetime– Niger = highest TFR @ 7.46 kids per woman
![Page 37: Living World and Populations Review Ch’s 4, 5, and 6](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ef55503460f94c08510/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Rule of 70
• Doubling time= 70/rate of growth• Example– – 2% annual growth rate – Doubling time = 70/ 2= 35 years to double
![Page 38: Living World and Populations Review Ch’s 4, 5, and 6](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ef55503460f94c08510/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Demographic transition • Stage 1- pre- industrial
– Little pop growth– Birth rates and death rates high
• Stage 2- transitional – Start of industrialization– Medical care increases– Birth rate increase, death decreases= increase growth rate
• Stage 3- industrial – Birth rate drops- death rate keeps dropping
• Growth rate slows
• Stage 4- post- industrial– Birth rates = death rates= ZPG (zero pop growth)– Standard of living higher
![Page 39: Living World and Populations Review Ch’s 4, 5, and 6](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ef55503460f94c08510/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Impacts of pop growth
• Hunger– Poverty– Droughts– Populations surpassed Carry capacity– Political instability- mass migrations– Food exportation- sell to highest bidder
