Factors such as
temperature, amount
of light, rainfall that
affect geographic
distribution
abiotic
Level of ecology which
deals with factors
controlling exchange of
energy, materials, and
organisms among
different ecosystems
Landscape ecology
Lakes that are
nutrient poor, deep,
fairly nonproductive,
but oxygen rich
oligotrophic
The aquatic zone that
supports detritivores
benthic
Shallow region of ocean
over continental shelf
Neritic zone
Type of dispersion
of red squirrels
defending their
territory
uniform
This type of table
would interest
insurance
companies
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
Life tables
Type of
survivorship curve
that features high
mortality of young
Type III
Traits in a population
That maximize
Population growth,
Such as rapid
reproduction of
small offspring.
R-selected
Factors affecting
populations such as
famine, plagues,
earthquakes, etc.
Densityindependent
factors
A morphological
trait that allows
two sympatric
species to avoid
competition
Character displacement
The specific “spot”
where an organism
prefers to be
Realized niche
King snakes with
same coloration as
coral snakes
Batesian mimicry
Type of relationship
between clownfish
and sea anemones
mutualism
These species will
be “missed” if
taken out of a
community
Keystone species
The amount of light
energy converted
into chemical
energy
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
Primary Productivity
Formula for NPP
NPP=GPP-R
Trophic Efficiency
from one level to
another
5 – 20%
A producer would be
A
Reservoirs of this
element include
fossil fuels, ocean
sediments, plant
and animal biomass
Carbon
When CO2 and
vapor
bounce
water
infrared radiation
back to earth
Greenhouse effect
Rain, sleet, and snow
with a pH below 5.2
due to industrial
emissions
Acid Rain
A process in which
compounds such as
toxins increase in
each successive link
of the food chain
Biological
magnification
Can cause algae blooms
and can lead to
eutrophication
Elevated nitrogen
Thinning of the ozone
layer causes
Global warming
