Where & how organisms liveRange- geographical reach
Habitat- where
Ecological Niche- how

Niche includes food, abiotic conditions, behavior
• Competition results when species, in the same community, overlap in use of resources– Strong selective force– Competitive exclusion
• Banishment/extinction
• Evolution• Niche partitioning

Niche (resource) partitioning

Ecological Equivalents – same niche…different communities
Convergent evolution’s fingerprint

Predation – Another interaction with highly selective outcomes
![Page 7: Ecosystem Interactions Honors Biology Chapter 14](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56649e3a5503460f94b2c0db/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Symbiosis – a kinder interaction, tho’ not without an evolutionary punch
Mutualism – both benefit
Parasitism – parasite benefits, host harmed
Commensalism – one benefits, the other unaffected

Population Dynamics
• Population: all the individuals of a species that live together in an area
• Demography: the statistical study of populations, make predictions about how a population will change
![Page 9: Ecosystem Interactions Honors Biology Chapter 14](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56649e3a5503460f94b2c0db/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Population Dynamics
• Three Key Features of Populations
• Size
• Density
• Dispersion
• (spatial distribution)

Three Key Features of Populations
1. Size: number of individuals in an area
![Page 11: Ecosystem Interactions Honors Biology Chapter 14](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56649e3a5503460f94b2c0db/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Influences on Population SizeSurvivorship Reproductive Strategies
1. R Strategists short life span, small
body, reproduce quickly, many young, little parental care
2. K Strategists long life span, large
body, reproduce slowly, few young, parental care,

Three Key Features of Populations
2. Density: measurement of population
per unit area or unit volume
Formula: Dp= N/S
Pop. Density = # of individuals ÷ unit of space
![Page 13: Ecosystem Interactions Honors Biology Chapter 14](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56649e3a5503460f94b2c0db/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Human Population Density

Three Key Features of Populations
3. Dispersion: describes their spacing relative to each other
• clumped
• uniform
• random
![Page 15: Ecosystem Interactions Honors Biology Chapter 14](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56649e3a5503460f94b2c0db/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Clumped for protection, resources,mating or social interaction
Uniform dispersion due to intraspecies competition / territoriality
3. Dispersion: describes their spacing relative to each other
Three Key Features of Populations
Random dispersion implies absence of interaction - rare. Mature communities.

Population Growth Patterns• Growth Rate: Birth Rate (natality) -
Death Rate (mortality)
• How many individuals are born vs. how many die
• Birth rate (b) + Immigration rate (i) − death rate (d) = rate of natural increase (r).
• Total Growth must add immigration & subtract emigration statistics

Immigration and Emigration Can Strongly Effect Population Dynamics

Other Factors Affecting Population Growth
• Carrying Capacity- the maximum population size that can be supported by the available resources
– There can only be as many organisms as the environmental resources can support
![Page 26: Ecosystem Interactions Honors Biology Chapter 14](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56649e3a5503460f94b2c0db/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Other Factors Affecting Population Growth
• Limiting Factors - any biotic or abiotic factor that restricts the existence of organisms in a specific environment.
![Page 29: Ecosystem Interactions Honors Biology Chapter 14](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56649e3a5503460f94b2c0db/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Two Types of limiting Factors
1. Density-dependent factors- increase effect as population size increases. (disease, competition, parasites)
4. Density-independent factors- affecting populations regardless of
their density (temperature, storms, habitat destruction, drought)

Primary succession: occurs where life has not previouslyexisted

Primary Succesion – Very Slow
