STRUCTURAL FEATURES OF COMMUNITIES
37.1 Biological community
all the populations of organisms
Trophic structure
feeding relationships

37.2
Competition
- when a shared
Interspecific competition
- two species competing for

Competitive exclusion principle
- two species cannot coexist in a community if
Niche
- species' total use of
- two possible results
- one species will be
- resource

Mullerian mimicry
- two unpalatable species mimic

37.4 Herbivores
- animals that
Plants have evolved defenses
- physical defenses

37.5 Disturbances
- are characteristic of most
- ex:
- damage
- remove
- change availability of

37.6 Ecological succession
- a transition in community species following
- Primary succession: gradual colonization of
Secondary succession: occurs after a
disturbance has destroyed a community but

37.7 Trophic structure
- a pattern of feeding relationships at
Food chain
- sequence of food transfer
- moves chemical

Producers
- Autotroph plants - support
Consumers
- Primary (herbivores) - Secondary, tertiary, and quaternary
- eat consumers

Detritivores
- animal scavengers,
- derive energy from
- recycle nutrients
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
37.8 Food web
- a more realistic view of
- food chains
- consumers eat more than
- each food type is consumed by more than

37.9 Energy supply
- limits the length of
- only about 10% of the energy stored at each
trophic level is
- amount of energy available to top-level
consumers is
- most food chains have only

37.10 Why meat is a luxury for humans
- humans eating grain
- have ten times more energy available than
when they process
- using land to raise animals
- consumes more resources than
