Metapopulation Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

What are Metapopulations? - ️️Isolated 'populations' that are connected by immigration / emigration (via dispersal) What is a sub-population? - ️️Each distinct component of a metapopulation. What is a disturbance? - ️️A temporary change in environmental conditions that causes a pronounced change in an ecosystem (extent, severity, frequency) What are some types of disturbances? - ️️1. Fire 2. Insect Outbreaks 3. Windstorms 4. Volcanoes What is primary succession? ...

What is ecology? - ANSWER the study of how organisms interact with each other and with their environment What are the 5 areas of ecological study? - ANSWER -Organismal: study of physiological, evolutionary, and behavioral mechanisms used by individual organisms to meet ecological needs -Population: how populations interact with their environment, how and why the # of individuals changes over time, the proportion of males to females, age of individuals, how likely they are to reproduce or die...

metapopulation - ️️a population consisting of a collection of subpopulations, each one of which has a realistic chance both of going extinct and of appearing again through recolonization. habitat patches - ️️Areas of suitable habitat for a species that are separated by areas of unsuitable habitat. disturbance - ️️Event that opens up a Gap Gap - ️️patches within which many species suffer local extinction simultaneously. (In forests, high winds, elephants, or simply the de...
