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
