Community Interaction

        Help!  

question
answer
show community (p220)  
🗑
examine the total number of species that a community contains. The number of species present. Characterized by their Properties.   show
🗑
show tropical communities  
🗑
the amount of energy produced   show
🗑
spider community; species included are only a portion of those present within the entire community.   show
🗑
a community is simply an aggregation/combination of species that happen to occur together at one place   show
🗑
communities are integrated unit. Superorganism communities who constituent species have coevolved to the extent that they function as part of a greater who, just as the kidneys, heart, and lungs all function together within a body.   show
🗑
show ecotones (p221)  
🗑
diminish the richness in a local area by reducing the chances of migration   show
🗑
show 1. biotic (organismal) 2. abiotic (non-organismal)  
🗑
show biotic  
🗑

🗑
show abiotic  
🗑
show animal-pollination  
🗑
show productivity model  
🗑
the greater the productivity of a region, the greater the amount of plant and animal material that can be produced and the greater the number of niches and species it can support   show
🗑
show species diversity  
🗑
show abundance  
🗑
show indices  
🗑

🗑
positive effect, negative effect, and neutral effect   show
🗑
show positive effect  
🗑
show negative effect  
🗑
show > coevolution  
🗑
one species greatly benefits at the expense of a second species   show
🗑
carnivore, cannibalism, herbivory, and parasitism   show
🗑
animals feeding on herbivores or other carnivores   show
🗑
predator and prey are the same species   show
🗑
show herbivory  
🗑
show parasitism  
🗑
show aposematic coloration  
🗑
animals that look, sound and behave like another animal. Ex: venomous coral snakes and the innocuous mile snakes   show
🗑
show crypsis  
🗑
behavior on part of the prey species to decrease the likelihood of a predator attacking. Ex: toads swallow air to appear larger   show
🗑
show polymorphisms  
🗑
chemicals that can be excreted to ward off potential predators. Ex: toad have salivary glands that are nosious to predators   show
🗑
show masting  
🗑
show chemical defense  
🗑
both species are interacting to obtain resources and the interaction can be highly detrimental to both species   show
🗑
organisms interact in order to gain access to resources or mates   show
🗑
physical interactions over access to resources - such as fighting to defend a territory or displacing an individual from a particular location.   show
🗑
show type of Resources Competition  
🗑
Consuming the same resources. Individuals compete for resources such as food and water.   show
🗑
show preemptive  
🗑
one species is overgrowing or blocking the light for another species   show
🗑
- Chemical - Territorial - Encounter   show
🗑
competition which uses the production of toxins   show
🗑
behaviors such as fighting used to defend space   show
🗑
temporary, infrequent interactions directly competing for a specific resource.   show
🗑
most common competition (about 37%)   show
🗑
show preemptive and over growth competition  
🗑
show territorial and encounter competition  
🗑
predator, prey, or species that in some way modify their habitat   show
🗑
show certain starfish and sea otter  
🗑
show ecological disturbance  
🗑
show ecological succession  
🗑
- after a fire, small grasses and abundant wildflowers may bloom and cover the ground. - As the flowers fade away taller grasses and small shrubs may make an appearance along with the seedlings of small trees - return of the forest   show
🗑
the pattern of recolonization by organisms   show
🗑
show disturbances  
🗑
an invasion of plants into an area where no plants have gone before. progression of organisms on continents, islands and the oceans floor   show
🗑
disturbance destroys the organisms within an area but leaves the soil intact. temporal "blip"   show
🗑
show population  
🗑
early views of succession believed that the organisms were replaced through. argues that the presence of the first organisms somehow prepares the environment and makes it easier for succeeding organisms to inhabit the land   show
🗑
show facilitation process  
🗑
show enablement  
🗑
the presence of a first species actually prevents the development of certain subsequent organisms.   show
🗑
species can start the colonization process.   show
🗑
species who are not easily replaced tend to dominate an older mature ecosystem   show
🗑
ecosystems can show a mix of   show
🗑
alter patterns of succession   show
🗑
show - measure how well a community resists change - measure how well a community bounces back after a disturbance  
🗑
show Measure how well a community resists change  
🗑
- determine a stable point where the population levels of different species appear unchanging - apply a force or presure - measure the time it takes for a community to return to its original stable point - repeat the experiment in different communities   show
🗑
lakes tend to be weakly resistant and weakly resilient since there is no easy way to wash pollutants away.   show
🗑
show > predation and mutualism  
🗑
the total of all the ways an organism uses the resources of its environment. Ex: space utilization, food consumption, temperature range, appropriate conditions for mating, requirements for moisture, and other factors   show
🗑
two species attempt to use the same resource and there is not enough of the resource to satisfy both.   show
🗑
the entire niche that a species is capable of using, based on its physiological tolerance limits and resource needs.   show

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
