Document Summary

Under the appropriate learning objective, enter in questions you want to answer prior to exam 2. Work in groups to answer the questions. 6. 1 define ecology and identify its major levels of study from individual to biosphere. The branch of biology that deals with the relationships of organisms between one another and their surroundings. Organismal-how individuals interact with each other and their environment. Explore the morphological, physiological and behavioral adaptations that allow individuals to live in a particular area. Population-how and why population size changes over space and time. Group of individuals of the same species that live in the same area at the same time. Community- how do species interact and what are the consequences. Consists of populations of different species that interact with each other within a particular area. Consists of all the organisms in a particular region along with nonliving components.

Prompt #3: Please provide very detailed information. Thank you.

Plants and animals do not operate independently of one another. In fact, it is how these organisms interact that often defines form and function. Ecology is the branch of biology that focuses on these species interactions with each other in the habitats that they live. In light of the many human-induced changes to the environment, it would be impossible to study ecology without accounting for anthropogenic effects. Assume you are an ecologist studying local flora and fauna in San Diego. Describe the effects of human development in a local habitat (e.g. coastal, desert, chaparral, grassland, wetland, etc.). How will continued global climate change effect species adapted to a specific environment? What conservation and management measures could be implemented to protect native species in San Diego?

Shawnta used several terms in her post that I want to be sure everyone understands. Ecology is studied with a hierarchy, similar to the hierarchy of classification. The lowest level is the individual. A group of individuals of the same species that live in the same area is called a population. All of the different populations that live in the same area make up a community. So far we have only been talking about the living organisms. When you add in the non-living components of an area you have an ecosystem. The living parts of an ecosystem are called the biotic components and the non-living parts are called the abiotic components.
What are some of the abiotic components that affect what can live in an ecosystem?
