chapter 40

ecology

study of homes

population ecology

focuses on factors affecting how many individuals of a species live in an area

community ecology

deals with the whole array of interacting species within a community

ecosystem ecology

emphasizes energy flow and chemical cycling among the various biotic and abiotic components

landscape ecology

deals with arrays of ecosystems and how they are arranged in a geographic region

global ecology

the biggest, examines the influence of energy and materials on organisms across the biosphere

bodies of water effects on climate

ocean currents heating or cooling, coastal regions wetter than inland regions

mountains influence on climate

air flow over land, moisture distribution

biomes

major ecological associations that occupy broad geographic regions of land or water

terrestrial biomes are defined by

vegetation type

aquatic biomes are defined by

physical environment

climate aspects that affect the distribution of biomes

annual mean precipitation
annual mean temperature

climograph shows how these vary to create biomes

general features of terrestrial biomes

vertical layering of vegetation, major physical or climatic features, dominant vegetation

tropical forest features

high temp and precipitation, vertically layered plants compete for light, the highest diversity

desert

can be cold or hot, low precipitation, low widely scattered vegetation, plants developed denfense against herbivores

chaparral

rainy winters dry summers, shrubs small trees fire adapted

temperate grassland

moderate precipitation summers are wet winters are dry, grazers prevent trees, burrowing animals are common

northern coniferous forest

cold winters, large range in annual temperature, some depend on fire to regenerate, plant diversity is low

temperate broadleaf forest

moderae precipitation, humid summers, deciduous trees, birds migrate in winter

tundra

low precipitation and temperature, veg is mostly herbaceous, frost prevents root growth

wetlands

induated by water, highly productive, humans destrpy by drainage, pollution, filling

lakes

light decreses as move deeper, thermocline (warm on top, cold on bottom) nutrient rich, humans destroy by runoff

streams and rivers

clear cold water, downstream is warmer, humans pollute water quality

intertidal zones

submerges twice daily, upper strata experience more exposure to air and greater variations in temp and salinity

coral reefs

aquatic version of rainforest humans destrpy by ocean acidification and pollution

oceanix pelagic zone

covers 70 percent of earth, mixed by wind currents

marine benthic zone

sea floor

interactions between organisms and the environment limit

the distrubtion of species

dispersal

movement of individuals away from centers of high population density or from their area of origin

species transplants

organisms that are intentionally or not relocated from their original distribution

biotic factors that affect the distribution of organisms

interactions with other species, predation, competition

abiotic factors that affect the distribution of organisms

temperature, water and oxygen, salinity, sunlight, rocks and soil

density

the number of individuals per unit area or volume

population

a group of indiviuduals per unit area or volume

dispersion

the pattern of spacing among individuals within the boundaries of the population

mark and recapture method

way of estimating population sizes

density relies on

immigration, emmigration, births, deaths

common patterns of dispersion

clumped, uniform, random

clumped dispersion

individuals aggregate in patches, influenced by resource availibility and behaviour

uniform dispersion

individuals are evenly dispersed, influenced by social interactions such as territoriality

random dispersion

individuals are spread independently, occurs in the absence of strong attractions or repulsions

demography

study of vital stats of a population and how they change over time

survivorship curves 3 types

low death in early years, high in older years
death rate is constant

low death in higher years and high in younger years

reproductive rates focus only on

females

intrinsic rate of increase

rate of reproduction is at its maximum

growth is close to exponential when population is small and resources are plentiufl

true

logistic growth model

per capita rate of increase declines as the carrying capacity is reacahed

population dynamics are heavily influenced by

life history traits and population density

k-selection

selects for life history traits that are sensitive to population density

r-selection

selects for life history traits that maximize reproduction

metapopulation

a regional group of connected populations of a species that fluctuate in size and stability over time
