How is a Niche defined?





A niche is the organism’s way of life (‘it’s
occupation’). It includes:
The organisms living place
Its food source
The time of day it is most active
And many other factors that are specific to
that organism's way of life
Competition Between Species



Members of a population (one species) may
compete for the same limited resource –
intraspecific competition
Within a community, interspecific competition
takes place when two or more species rely on the
same limited resource
If two species are so similar in their requirements
that the same resource limits both species’
growth it is called competitive exclusion
Competitive Exclusion
II. Predation
Predation is when one organism (predator) eats
another (prey)
B. Eating and avoiding being eaten are important to
survival and predators and prey have developed
many adaptations
1. Predator adaptations include: being fast and
agile, coloring that camouflages, hunting in
groups, acute sense to find prey and having
claws, teeth, fangs and stingers to help catch
prey
2. Prey adaptations include: retreating or fleeing
from predators, camouflage, defensive
coloring, mimicry, secreting poisonous
chemicals, having spines and thorns
A.
Symbiotic relationships
A symbiotic relationship is when two species live
in or on one another
B. There are three main types of symbiotic
relationships
1. Parasitism- A parasite gets it’s food at the
expense of another organism, i.e. mosquitos
and humans
2. Mutualism- Both organism benefit from the
relationship, i.e. E.Coli and humans
3. Commensalism- One organism benefits and the
other is neither hurt nor helped

Ecological Succession
A.
B.
The series of changes in the species in a
community, often following a disturbance is
known as ecological succession
There are two types of succession:
1. Primary succession is when new community arises
from a previously lifeless area i.e. plants growing
on a volcanic island
2. Secondary succession is when a new community
arises from a previous community i.e. a forested
are which has been cleared and abandoned
Primary Succession
Secondary Succession
