Community Ecology (correct answers)
Define community correct answers -group of different species within a set space that
interact and impart change onto each other
-incorporates a series of different population
define community ecology correct answers study of how the different species within a
community interact to create a functional existence
what is tolerance range correct answers - a species will spread itself out within a given
space according to its specific tolerance rage
what dictates tolerance range correct answers -life cycle characteristics
-interactions with other species
-personal abilities to survive in certain abiotic conditions
tolerance range defines correct answers the species compliment of a community
sometimes different communities can be distinguished by sharp division due to correct
answers mostly major changes in biotic or abiotic environment
ecotone correct answers the interface between communities
why is it more likely the divide between communities is not sharp correct answers -
caused by gradient changes in the environment
-results in the bleeding together of different communities
ecological niche correct answers -the role of a particular species within a community
-incorporates all biotic and abiotic considerations
examples of ecological niche correct answers -habitat
-food sources
-predator/prey
-etc
fundamental niche correct answers -the potential ecological niche that an organism
could inhabitat if no restricting species were present
-based solely on abiotic factors of the space provided
realized niche correct answers -the true ecological niche that an organism settles for
within a community of interacting species
-takes into account biotic factors such as competition and predation
types of ecological interactions correct answers -competition
-mutualism
-predation/parasitism
