Ecosystems interacting system of biotic and abiotic components in a particular area or place Biomes major terrestrial communities or major ecosystems that often recur on the continents Ecosystem Components species richness species diversity ecosystem function Species richness number of species in a particular community Species diversity number of species present and some measure of species evenness Ecosystem function how the ecosystem works in its many ...

Biology 180 - Exam 4 Rated 100% Accurate!! metapopulation - ANSWER - a population of populations connected by migration replacement rate - ANSWER - average fertility required for each woman to produce exactly enough offspring to replace her and her offspring's father community - ANSWER - all species that interact in a certain area commensalism - ANSWER - (+/0) one species benefits but the other is unaffected competition - ANSWER - (-/-) individuals use the same resources - lower ...

Population - Answer Group of individuals from the same species that live in the same area at the same time Population density - Answer Number of individuals per unit area - Vary throughout the range What are the types of distribution of population density? [3] - Answer - Random - Clumped - Uniformed Random distribution - Answer Positions of individuals independent of each other Clumped distribution - Answer Result from patchy habitat or social organisms Uniform distribution - A...

metapopulation - ANSWER a population of populations connected by migration replacement rate - ANSWER average fertility required for each woman to produce exactly enough offspring to replace her and her offspring's father community - ANSWER all species that interact in a certain area commensalism - ANSWER (+/0) one species benefits but the other is unaffected competition - ANSWER (-/-) individuals use the same resources - lower fitness for both consumption - ANSWER (+/-) one organ...

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 death of a tree through ol...

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? ...
