Ecology
The study of relationships among living organisms
and the interaction the organisms have with their
environment

Equilibrium
• Equilibrium- all things are equal/balanced
• Homeostasis- an environment that is relatively
stable and consistent
Ecosystems want to be in homeostasis
• After a minor disturbance they will usually
return to homeostasis
– Ex:
• Major disturbances sometimes cause too
much harm for that too happen
– Ex:
Food Chains and Food Webs
• Trophic Level – each step in a food chain or
food web.
• Food Chain – simple model that shows how
energy flows through an ecosystem.
http://www.brainpop.com/science/ecologyandbehavior/foodchains/
Food Webs
• Food Web – model representing the many
interconnected food chains and pathways in
which energy flows through a group of
organisms.
– Larger food webs are more stable
– If one species or population gets removed there is
a great chance of there being another species to
fill the niche
Trophic Levels
Roles of Organisms
Producers – take energy from sunlight or chemical
source and convert into food source.
Autotrophs – make their own food.
Consumers/Heterotrophs – need to eat other
organisms as an energy source.
• Herbivore – eats plants.
• Carnivore- eats flesh/meat.
• Omnivore- eats all things..plants and animals.
• Detrivore- eats organisms that are dead.
• Decomposer- breaks down dead/decaying
organisms into simple compounds/elements for
recycling. (CHNOPS)

Biotic vs Abiotic
Objective: I will be able to describe how energy
flows through a food chain and matter gets
cycled.
EQ: What is the difference between energy
flowing and matter cycling through an
ecosystem?
Energy Flows
• Flows through the food chain
• Ultimate source of energy is the SUN
• Every food chain must start with a producer
who can convert the Sun’s energy into
chemical energy
• With every link in the food chain only 10% of
the energy gets passed on
• Energy also gets lost (converted) as heat (it
gets used up)
• The producers always have the largest
population
• The very top consumer has a limited/smaller
population
• Since only 10% of the energy gets past on, top
consumers must eat a lot more food to get
their energy, so they have to have smaller
populations

Ecological Pyramids
Matter Cycles
• Matter = atoms and molecules
• Cannot be created or destroyed
• Cycles through a food chain then gets
decomposed back into the ground (and used
by plants to restart the cycle)
• Ex: water cycle, carbon cycle

Population Dynamics
Predation- a predator hunts/kills its prey for
food/energy
Predator – the one hunting/benefiting
Prey- the one that dies
Competition-two or more organisms have
similar niches which cause them to compete for
resources (food, shelter) and lower their fitness
Both are harmed
Symbiotic Relationships-close
relationships between two or more
species that live together.
•Mutualism – two or more organisms rely on each other to
live
•Both Benefit
•Commensalism – one organism relies on another to live
•One benefits, One is unaffected
•Parasitism - a parasite uses a host for energy, shelter, and
nutrition
•One benefits, one is harmed

Objective – I will be able to describe factors that
effect population growth/size.
EQ – What factors effect population growth?
Title – Population Dynamics
Levels of Organization
Biosphere – “Ball of Life”
• Thin layer around Earth that supports life.
• Made up of atmosphere, land and water
• Diversity of the environment and organisms
controlled by two groups of “factors”
- living (biotic)
- nonliving (abiotic)
Biome
• All the ecosystems that have similar climates
and plant life
Answers to Level of Organization
1. Individual
2. Population
3. Community
4. Ecosystem
5. Biome
6. Biosphere
Population Characteristics
• Population Density – number of individual
organisms in a given area at a given time.
• Spatial Distribution – the pattern of spacing of
a population with in an area.
Population Size
What characteristics effect the growth rate?
Natality – Birth Rate
Mortality – Death Rate
Emigration – individuals moving away
Immigration – individuals moving in
Carrying Capacity
• Maximum number of individuals in a species that
an environment can support for the long term.
• Limited by resources (energy, water, oxygen, and
nutrients.)
Population Growth Rates
Population Limiting Factors
• Abiotic or Biotic factors that keep a population
from continuing to increase indefinitely.
• Density-Independent Factors – any factor in
the environment that does not depend on the
numbers of individuals in a population per unit
area.
• Density Dependent Factors – any factor in the
environment that depends on the numbers of
individuals in a population per unit area.

Ecological Succession
The change in an ecosystem that happens when
one community replaces another as a result of
changing abiotic and biotic factors.
• Two Types of Succession
a. Primary Succession – the establishment of a
community in an area of exposed rock that does
not have any topsoil
– New habitat in that area, for the first time
b. Secondary Succession– the orderly and
predictable change that takes place after a
community of organisms have been removed
but the soil has remained intact.
– Faster
– Reduces population
– Started by an event (flood, fire)
Pioneer Community- first group of plants and
animals to start living in the area
Climax Community- final and most stable group
of plants and animals to live in the area
Ecological Succession
Ecological Succession
Primary vs. Secondary
How does Climate change effect
ecosystems?
• Ex: Rising average temperatures organisms
are immigrating to new ecosystem where the
temperature is what they are used to
How do Seasonal changes effect
ecosystems?
•
•
•
•
Changes in diet
Hibernation
Estivation – hibernation in the desert
Changes to fur or color
• These will cause new dynamics in the
homeostasis of the ecosystem
Practice
Order from first to last.

to the health of the biosphere.
• Includes:
Genetic Diversity – variety of genes/inheritable
characteristics in a population.
Species Diversity – number of different species and
the abundance of each species in a biological
community.
Ecosystem Diversity – variety of ecosystems in the
biosphere.
• Species Richness –
