Document Summary
Life histories and the niche i: review: range of tolerance and principle of allocation, fundamental niche, realized niche, ecological niche modeling. Injury healing process: food availability less food would mean more energy spent finding food, competition/predation cannot put energy for reproduction, what alters the energy budget? on the environment, time in life etc. they use energy differently) Fundamental niche abiotic/environmental (fig 9. 27: physical conditions under which a species might live in the absence of interactions with other species, figure shows that there are two environmental factors. Little range of tolerance at the bottom which is the optimal zone (graphing range of tolerance in multiple axis) In nature, organisms are always interacting with other organisms. Realized niche is always smaller. itself) food availability). Macarthur"s warblers fundamental: requiring similar abiotic conditions same tree (sharing the same niche, they have similar niches, but there are differences, he learned how organisms foraged, and where they foraged.
