5-1 How Do Species Interact?
• Concept 5-1 Five types of species interactions—competition, predation, parasitism, mutualism, and commensalism—affect the resource use and population sizes of the species in an ecosystem.

Species Interact in Five Major Ways
• Interspecific Competition
• Predation
• Parasitism
• Mutualism
• Commensalism

Most Species Compete with One Another for Certain Resources
• For limited resources
• Ecological niche for exploiting resources
• Some niches overlap

Some Species Evolve Ways to Share Resources
• Resource partitioning
• Using only parts of resource
• Using at different times
• Using in different ways

Predator and Prey Interactions Can Drive Each Other’s Evolution
• Intense natural selection pressures between predator and prey populations
• Coevolution
• Interact over a long period of time
• Bats and moths: echolocation of bats and sensitive hearing of moths

Some Species Feed off Other Species by Living on or in Them
• Parasitism
• Parasite is usually much smaller than the host
• Parasite rarely kills the host
• Parasite-host interaction may lead to coevolution

In Some Interactions, Both Species Benefit
• Mutualism
• Nutrition and protection relationship
• Gut inhabitant mutualism
• Not cooperation: it’s mutual exploitation

In Some Interactions, One Species Benefits and the Other Is Not Harmed
• Commensalism
• Epiphytes

5-2 What Limits the Growth of Populations?
• Concept 5-2 No population can continue to grow indefinitely because of limitations on resources and because of competition among species for those resources.

Most Populations Live Together in Clumps or Patches (1)
• Population: group of interbreeding individuals of the same species
• Population distribution
1. Clumping
2. Uniform dispersion
3. Random dispersion

Most Populations Live Together in Clumps or Patches (2)
• Why clumping?
1. Species tend to cluster where resources are available
2. Groups have a better chance of finding clumped resources
3. Protects some animals from predators
4. Packs allow some to get prey

Populations Can Grow, Shrink, or Remain Stable (1)
• Population size governed by
• Births
• Deaths
• Immigration
• Emigration
• Population change =
(births + immigration) – (deaths + emigration)

Populations Can Grow, Shrink, or Remain Stable (2)
• Age structure
• Pre-reproductive age
• Reproductive age
• Post-reproductive age

Some Factors Can Limit Population Size
• Range of tolerance
• Variations in physical and chemical environment
• Limiting factor principle
• Too much or too little of any physical or chemical factor can limit or prevent growth of a population, even if all other factors are at or near the optimal range of tolerance
• Precipitation
• Nutrients
• Sunlight, etc

When a Population Exceeds Its Habitat’s Carrying Capacity, Its Population Can Crash
• A population exceeds the area’s carrying capacity
• Reproductive time lag may lead to overshoot
• Population crash
• Damage may reduce area’s carrying capacity

Succession Doesn’t Follow a Predictable Path
• Traditional view
• Balance of nature and a climax community
• Current view
• Ever-changing mosaic of patches of vegetation
• Mature late-successional ecosystems
• State of continual disturbance and change

Living Systems Are Sustained through Constant Change
• Inertia, persistence
• Ability of a living system to survive moderate disturbances
• Resilience
• Ability of a living system to be restored through secondary succession after a moderate disturbance
• Some systems have one property, but not the other: tropical rainforests

Three Big Ideas
1. Certain interactions among species affect their use of resources and their population sizes.
2. There are always limits to population growth in nature.
3. Changes in environmental conditions cause communities and ecosystems to gradually alter their species composition and population sizes (ecological succession).
