Review: Levels of organization ORGANISM POPULATION COMMUNITY ECOSYSTEM BIOME BIOSPHERE
4
Community Interactions Community: Many species interacting in the same environment Three types of interactions: – Competition – Predation – Symbiosis
5
Competition: struggle between individuals for limited resources (water, nutrients, light, food, mates).
6
Competitive exclusion: no two species can occupy the same niche in the same habitat at the same time What’s going to happen?
7
Predation Defined: when an organism captures and feeds on another organism. Predator- hunter Prey- hunted
8
Symbiosis- Long term relationship between species living closely together. Three types: Mutualism Commensalism Parasitism
9
Mutualism Mutualism: both species benefit from a relationship. Ex: Lichens (fungus and Algae) Ex: Clown fish and anemones Ex: Cleaner birds and crocodiles
10
Commensalism Commensalism – One member of a symbiotic relationship benefits and the other is neither helped or harmed Ex: Cattle and Birds – Birds eat insects stirred up by the cattle Ex: Barnacles and whales – Barnacles grow on whale
11
Parasitism Parasitism- One creature benefits and one creature is harmed Ex: Tapeworm feeds in a humans intestines absorbing his/her nutrients
