AP Environmental Science Ms. Newsome Pages: 161 - 166 Name ____________________________ Date _______________ 6.4 Reading Guide "Community Ecology" Due: Tuesday February 14 Key Terms: Community ecology Symbiotic relationship Competition Competitive exclusion principle Resource partitioning Predation Parasitoids Parasitism Pathogen Herbivores Mutualism Commensalism Keystone species Ecosystem engineers 1. What is the difference between competitive exclusion and resource partitioning? Which one is likely to be associated with a full niche overlap? A partial niche overlap? 2. Give an example of each type of resource partitioning a. Temporal – b. Spatial – c. Morphological - 3. Fill in the following chart for species relationships Relationship Commensalism Competition Herbivores Keystone Specie Mutualism Parasites Parasitoids True predators Description Specific Example +/+, +/-, +/0 4. Describe mutualism and give three examples. 5. Describe Communalism and give three examples. 6. Describe predator-mediated competition and give an example. 7. List some reasons why a keystone species is important to a community. Most Important: (Your own words – Write at least one complete sentence summarizing what you think is the most important part of this module that you should carry with you and why it is important. If there is more than one, then write them all!)
