Definitions
1. Population a group of individuals of a certain species in a given area at a given time: blue crabs in the Halifax river
2. Community interacting groups of populations in an area: the scrub community on campus
3. Species a group of individuals who can interbreed to produce fertile, viable offspring: FL panthers
4. Niche The role of an organism in its environment (multidimensional): nocturnal predator of small mammals in the forest
5. Habitat Where an organism typically lives: mangrove swamps
![Page 6: Community Ecology IB: 2.1.6, 2.1.7 Ch. 8 Videos – extinction clip on exotics, clip on coral reefs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649ec75503460f94bd2fb7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Community Structure
• Consider the spatial distribution of organisms
• Physical appearance: Size, stratification, distribution of populations and species
• Species diversity and richness: number of different species
• Species abundance: number of individuals of each species
• Niche structure: number, uniqueness and interaction of niches available

Community Differences
• Aquatic systems deep ocean, sandy beach, lakes, rivers, wetlands
• Physical structure varies– Most habitats are mosaics, vegetation patches– Sharp edges or broad ecotones (transition zones)– Physical properties differ at edges = edge effect– Forest edge may be sunnier, drier, warmer
• different species at the edge• Many wild game species found here• Edges can fragment habitat vulnerability & barriers

What is a niche
• The organisms role in its environment• How it responds to the distribution of
resources• Many dimensions to it – therefore an n-
dimensional hypervolume• No two species can occupy the same
niche for any period of time• If a niche is vacant organisms will quickly
adapt to fill it
![Page 12: Community Ecology IB: 2.1.6, 2.1.7 Ch. 8 Videos – extinction clip on exotics, clip on coral reefs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649ec75503460f94bd2fb7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Fundamental Niche Everything that the organism could possibly do given a competitor free environment
• Realized Niche Everything the organism does after competition limits them
![Page 13: Community Ecology IB: 2.1.6, 2.1.7 Ch. 8 Videos – extinction clip on exotics, clip on coral reefs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649ec75503460f94bd2fb7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Biodiverse Communities
• Top species rich environments are tropical rainforests, coral reefs, deep sea, large tropical lakes
• Usually high diversity but low abundance• Factors for increased diversity
1. Latitude: most diverse near equator2. Depth: marine communities peak about 2000m3. Pollution: more pollution less speciesOn land increases in solar radiation, precipitation,
seasonal variation, decreased elevation

The Island Effect
• Isolated ecosystems studied by MacArthur and Wilson in 1960’s
• Diversity effected by island size & degree of isolation
• Island Biogeography theory: diversity effected by – Rate of species immigration to island– Rate of extinction on island– Equilibrium point = species diversity
![Page 18: Community Ecology IB: 2.1.6, 2.1.7 Ch. 8 Videos – extinction clip on exotics, clip on coral reefs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649ec75503460f94bd2fb7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Island Biogeography
• Immigration and Extinction Effected by1. Size:
– small island has less immigration (small target), – Small island has fewer resources, more extinction
2. Distance from mainland:– Closer to mainland more chance of immigration
• Applied in conservation for “habitat islands” like national parks surrounded by development

Communities have different “Types” of Species
• Native species = species that normally live and thrive in a particular community
• Nonnative species = species that are accidentally introduced into an area
• Keystone species = species that are more important than their abundance or biomass suggest
• Indicator species = species that serve as early warnings of damage in a community
![Page 23: Community Ecology IB: 2.1.6, 2.1.7 Ch. 8 Videos – extinction clip on exotics, clip on coral reefs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649ec75503460f94bd2fb7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Nonnative Species
• Also called exotics, aliens, or introduced sp.
• FL examples include fire ants, hydrilla, potato vine, peacock bass, …– Occupy niches excluding native organisms– Reproduce rapidly in absence of natural
predators– Usually are very adaptable to human disturbed
environments
![Page 24: Community Ecology IB: 2.1.6, 2.1.7 Ch. 8 Videos – extinction clip on exotics, clip on coral reefs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649ec75503460f94bd2fb7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Common Florida Exotics
![Page 25: Community Ecology IB: 2.1.6, 2.1.7 Ch. 8 Videos – extinction clip on exotics, clip on coral reefs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649ec75503460f94bd2fb7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Indicator Species
• Mostly species that respond quickly to changes in the environment
• Birds indicate tropical forest destruction• Trout indicate pollutant presence in water• Amphibians are a classic indicator
– Frogs case study p 170– Frog decline and deformities
![Page 26: Community Ecology IB: 2.1.6, 2.1.7 Ch. 8 Videos – extinction clip on exotics, clip on coral reefs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649ec75503460f94bd2fb7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Keystone Species
• Strong interactions with other species affect the health and survival of those species
• They process material out of proportion to their numbers
• Roles include: pollination, seed dispersion, habitat modification, predation by top carnivores, efficient recycling of animal waste
![Page 27: Community Ecology IB: 2.1.6, 2.1.7 Ch. 8 Videos – extinction clip on exotics, clip on coral reefs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649ec75503460f94bd2fb7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Sea Otters
![Page 28: Community Ecology IB: 2.1.6, 2.1.7 Ch. 8 Videos – extinction clip on exotics, clip on coral reefs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649ec75503460f94bd2fb7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Keystone Species II
• Habitat modification– Elephants – knock over trees in savannah to
promote grass growth & recycle nutrients– Bats & birds – regenerate deforested areas
by depositing plant seeds in their droppings– Beavers – create ponds forming habitats for
many pond dwelling species like fish, ducks, & muskrats
![Page 29: Community Ecology IB: 2.1.6, 2.1.7 Ch. 8 Videos – extinction clip on exotics, clip on coral reefs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649ec75503460f94bd2fb7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Keystone Species III
• Top predators exert stabilizing effect by feeding on and regulating certain species– Wolves, leopards, lions, gators, sharks, otters
• Over 300+ species are found on the wolf kills made in Yellowstone
![Page 31: Community Ecology IB: 2.1.6, 2.1.7 Ch. 8 Videos – extinction clip on exotics, clip on coral reefs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649ec75503460f94bd2fb7/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Waste removal
•Dung beetles – remove bury and recycle animal waste•Establish new plants•Aerate soil•Reduce disease causing microorganisms
![Page 34: Community Ecology IB: 2.1.6, 2.1.7 Ch. 8 Videos – extinction clip on exotics, clip on coral reefs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649ec75503460f94bd2fb7/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Species Interactions
• Interactions may be harmful, beneficial, or have no effect at all
• Competition: Intraspecific or Interspecific
• Predation, Mutualism (Symbiosis), Commensalism, Parasitism
![Page 35: Community Ecology IB: 2.1.6, 2.1.7 Ch. 8 Videos – extinction clip on exotics, clip on coral reefs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649ec75503460f94bd2fb7/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Intraspecific Competition
• Competition between members of the same species for a common resource
• Resource: food, space, mates, etc.
• Territoriality – Organisms patrol or mark an area– Defend it against others– Good territories have
• Abundant food, good nesting sites, low predator pop.
– Disadvantage = Energy, Reduce gene pool
![Page 36: Community Ecology IB: 2.1.6, 2.1.7 Ch. 8 Videos – extinction clip on exotics, clip on coral reefs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649ec75503460f94bd2fb7/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Territoriality Examples
![Page 37: Community Ecology IB: 2.1.6, 2.1.7 Ch. 8 Videos – extinction clip on exotics, clip on coral reefs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649ec75503460f94bd2fb7/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Interspecific Competition
• 2 or more different species involved• Competing for food, space, sunlight, water,
space, nesting sites or other limited resource• If resources abundant, they can be shared but in
nature they are always limited• If fundamental niches overlap competition• One of the species must…
1. Migrate if possible2. Shift feeding habits or behavior = Evolve3. Suffer a sharp population decline4. Become extinct
![Page 38: Community Ecology IB: 2.1.6, 2.1.7 Ch. 8 Videos – extinction clip on exotics, clip on coral reefs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649ec75503460f94bd2fb7/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Connell’s Barnacles
![Page 39: Community Ecology IB: 2.1.6, 2.1.7 Ch. 8 Videos – extinction clip on exotics, clip on coral reefs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649ec75503460f94bd2fb7/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Methods of competition
1. Interference• One species limits access of others to a
resource, regardless of its abundance• Hummingbird territoriality, Desert plant
allelopathy
2. Exploitation• Species have equal resource access, differ
in speed of use• Quicker species = more of it & hampers
growth, reproduction and survival of other species
![Page 40: Community Ecology IB: 2.1.6, 2.1.7 Ch. 8 Videos – extinction clip on exotics, clip on coral reefs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649ec75503460f94bd2fb7/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Allelopathy
![Page 41: Community Ecology IB: 2.1.6, 2.1.7 Ch. 8 Videos – extinction clip on exotics, clip on coral reefs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649ec75503460f94bd2fb7/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Competitive Exclusion Principle
• One species eliminates another in an area through competition for limited resources– Two Paramecium species– Identical conditions grown apart both do well– Grown together one eliminates the other
• The niches of two species cannot overlap significantly for a long period of time
![Page 42: Community Ecology IB: 2.1.6, 2.1.7 Ch. 8 Videos – extinction clip on exotics, clip on coral reefs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649ec75503460f94bd2fb7/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Avoiding Competition
• Resource partitioning = dividing of scarce resources to species at different– Times– Methods of use– Different locations
• Species occupy realized niche, a small fraction of their fundamental niches– Lions vs leopards, hawks vs. owls

Predation
• Members of one species feed directly on all or part of a living organism of a different species
• Individuals predator benefits, prey harmed
• Population prey benefits: take out the weak, greater resource access, improved gene pool
• Predator plays important ecological role
![Page 48: Community Ecology IB: 2.1.6, 2.1.7 Ch. 8 Videos – extinction clip on exotics, clip on coral reefs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649ec75503460f94bd2fb7/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Predation
![Page 49: Community Ecology IB: 2.1.6, 2.1.7 Ch. 8 Videos – extinction clip on exotics, clip on coral reefs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649ec75503460f94bd2fb7/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Predation strategies
1. Herbivores – sessile prey, no need to hurry
2. Pursuit – speed (cheetah), eyesight (eagles), cooperation (wolves)
3. Ambush – camouflage for hiding (praying mantis), lures (anglerfish)
![Page 50: Community Ecology IB: 2.1.6, 2.1.7 Ch. 8 Videos – extinction clip on exotics, clip on coral reefs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649ec75503460f94bd2fb7/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Ambush Predators
![Page 51: Community Ecology IB: 2.1.6, 2.1.7 Ch. 8 Videos – extinction clip on exotics, clip on coral reefs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649ec75503460f94bd2fb7/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Prey defenses
• Camouflage – change color, blend with environment,
• Chemical warfare – produce chemicals which are poisonous, irritating, bad smelling or tasting
• Warning coloration – bright colors advertise inedibility (mimics take advantage of this)
• Behavioral strategies – Puffing up, mimicking predators, playing dead, schooling

Parasitism
• One species feeds on part of another organism (the host) without killing it
• Specialized form of predation
• Parasite Characteristics1. Usually smaller than the host
2. Closely associated with host
3. Draws nourishment from & slowly weakens host
4. Rarely kills the host
• Examples = Tapeworms, ticks, fleas, fungi

Malaria
According to the World Health Organization there are 300 to 500 million clinical cases of malaria each year resulting in 1.5 to 2.7 million deaths
The disease kills more than one million children - 2,800 per day - each year in Africa alone. In regions of intense transmission, 40% of toddlers may die of acute malaria.
In the early 1960s, only 10% the world's population was at risk of contracting malaria. This rose to 40% as mosquitoes developed resistance to pesticides and malaria parasites developed resistance to treatment drugs. Malaria is now spreading to areas previously free of the disease.

Mutualism
• Symbiotic relationship where both species benefit
• Pollination, Nutrition, Protection are main benefits
• Not really cooperation, both benefit by exploiting the other

Mutualism II
Examples
1. Lichens – fungi & algae living together food for one, structure for the other
2. Plants and Rhizobium bacteria one gets sugars the other gets nitrogen
3. Oxpeckers and Rhinos food for one, less parasites for the other
4. Protists and termites break down wood for one, nutrients for the other

Commensalism• One species benefits the
other is neither harmed nor helped
– Examples1. Herbs growing in the shade
of trees
2. Birds building nests in trees
3. Epiphytes = “Air plants” which attach themselves to the trunk or branches of trees-they have a solid base to grow on
and better access to sunlight & rain
