Principles of Ecology Importance of Water: Why introduce water as something we should study? What is Ecology? • o Because ________ living things __________ water! Where’s All the Water? Ecology: – Reveals _______________ among __________ and __________ parts of the world Oceans: _________ Icecaps and Glaciers: _________ – Combines many different fields (math, geology, chemistry, physics) Groundwater: _________ Atmosphere: _________ – Observed both in the __________ and ________________ Freshwater: ________ Rivers: _______ Aspects of Ecological Study • ___________________: Living Environment • – Includes: • ____________________: ____________ Factors: Examples: look familiar? • • ____________________: • ____________________: • • ____________________: • • Non-Living Environment • ______________ Factors: Examples: • • • • • • Levels of Ecological Organization • __________________: – Biosphere (most diverse) Made of interacting _______________ in a certain area at a certain time Ecosystem – Community In a community a _____________ in one ________________ may cause changes in other ___________________ Population • Individual (single organism) • __________________: – Is made up of interacting _________________ in a biological _______________ and the community’s __________________: ______________ factors – Made of cells 2 kinds: – Uses _________________ – ______________________ • _______________: – Forest, desert, grassland, tundra, mountains • _______________: – Pond, lake, river, deep ocean, reef, estuary – _______________ and adapts – Grows and _______________________ • __________________: A group of organisms that: – Are __________ the same ______________ – ____________________ – Live in the ____________ area at the ______________ time. – Members of a population may compete with each other for: • Food ______________, _____________ or other resources. Organisms in Ecosystems • ________________: • – Examples: _______________: – How it meets the needs for ______________ – Includes all ___________________ with the ________ and ________ parts of its habitat • ________________: Examples: • Symbiosis: “____________ ________________” – On forest floor there is competition for food and space: – Millipedes – – Centipedes – – Ants – – Earthworms – – Fungi – relationship in which there is a ____________ and ____________ association between different ___________ • Commensalism: – Relationship in which _______ species _______________, while the other species is ______________ benefited nor harmed • Examples: – Living Relationships – • Some species ______________ their chance of survival by • developing __________________ with other organisms. • Mutualism: – __________ species _____________ from the relationship Some interactions are ___________ to one species, others • are ___________. Examples: – • Predator – Prey relationship: – Predator: ___________ that _____________ other ____________ – Prey: ___________ that are _______________ • Examples: – – – • Parasitism: – One species _____________ while the other is ________________. • Examples: – – –
