1. Write the topic for the
unit in the middle of the
paper and box it in.
2. Divide the paper into 3
equal sections.
3. Put a subtopic/key
word in each section.
4. Add an appropriate
picture to each section(no
stick figures).
5. Each section must
have 3 different
colors(black and white
don’t count). Don’t use
the same 3 colors for 2
different sections.

Title - Communities
Cornell Notes Pg. 59
What is a community?
What are Community Interactions
• Predation(+-)
– One organism
kills and eats
another
organism.
What is competition?
• Competition(--)
– 2 organisms are
competing for the
same resource.
– May be interspecific
(between members
of different species)
or intraspecific
(between members
of the same species).
What are Niche and Habitat?
• Habitat-place where an
organism lives.
• Niche-role and position a
species has in its
environment.
– Organisms with the same
niche compete if they are in
the same habitat.
How do Stability & Disturbance work
together?
• Disturbance-events that change a community
by removing organisms or changing resource
availability.
• Stability is the ability of a community to resist
disturbance and not change.
What is Biodiversity?
• The variety of life in an area.
• Measured by species richness-the number of
different species in an ecosystem.
• Extinction is when the last individual of a species
disappears.
– Endangered species=species that are likely to become
extinct.
– Threatened species=species that are close to
becoming endangered.
• Biodiversity increases the stability of a
community

• What is a hypothesis?
• What is the independent variable?
• What is the dependent variable?
• Paramecium are microscopic, unicellular protists that live
in water.
• The 2 species we are looking at do not eat each other, it
isn’t a predator prey relationship.
• They compete for the same food. Paramecium are
predators that feed on algae and bacteria

• What did the deer teach us in the Lesson of
the Kaibab?
Out Pg. 64
The majority of keystone species are predators
like the otters you read about. Prairie dogs are
also keystone species, but not predators
• Prairie dogs contribute to the soil and water
quality in their plains ecosystem. Their foraging
retains water in the soil and forces fresh new
grasses to continually grow. Young grasses have
more nutrients for species such as bison and
elk.
Explain how prairie dogs are keystone species.

• Succession is a change in the species that make up
a community over time.
• If a community is disturbed it has to “start over”
– Primary succession-development of a community in an
area that has not supported life before—no soil.
– Secondary succession-sequential replacement of an
existing community following a disturbance (fire ,
flood, landslide,etc.)

• Species can be native or endemic to their habitat,
that means they occur naturally. Exotic species or
Introduced species are not native to an area.
Sometimes an exotic species will overwhelm native
species and cause harm, when this happens the
exotic species is called an invasive species.

Exotic or Invasive in Southern Nevada?

Read the comic below and then select the response that best
matches your response.
Pick 1 of the 3 choices below by highlighting it.
Which of the following best matches how you would respond
to releasing the crawdad (i.e. crayfish) into a non-native
environment?
• Releasing one crayfish into the creek will have no impact
on the organisms that currently live there.
• The crayfish will adapt to its environment or die because
nature works on the rule of “survival of the fittest.”
• Introducing the crayfish to a new environment could have
a serious impact on the organisms that currently live
there.
Why did you select your response? Please explain your logic

One of the last mass
extinction events was when
the dinosaurs were wiped out
by a meteor impact. 75% of
species went extinct at this
