2.1 4 Types of Population Interactions
• Competition• Predation• Parasitism• Mutualism
![Page 3: Ch 2: Ecosystem](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070422/56816403550346895dd5a800/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Competition
• Intraspecific– More species of the same size, more competition
there is• Interspecific– Niches overlap– Better competitors suffer less
– Figure 2.8 \/

Predation
• Negative feedback loop• Give me an example…
![Page 6: Ch 2: Ecosystem](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070422/56816403550346895dd5a800/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Parasitism
• Ectoparasites
• Endoparasites
![Page 7: Ch 2: Ecosystem](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070422/56816403550346895dd5a800/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Mutualism
• Both benefit• Example: zooanthellae
![Page 8: Ch 2: Ecosystem](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070422/56816403550346895dd5a800/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
2.2 Abiotic Ecosystems• Marine
– Salinity– pH– Temperature– Dissolved oxygen– waves
• Freshwater– Turbidity– Flow velocity– pH– Temp– Dissolved oxygen
• Terrestrial– Temp– Light intensity– Wind– Particle size– Slope– Soil moisture– Drainage– Mineral content
• Around here?
• Figure 2.11 \/

How to measure each• Light: light meter• Temp: electric thermometer (why not mercury?)• pH: pH meter• Wind: anemometer• Particle size: ruler or sifter• Dissolved oxygen and wave action (inversely proportional)• Slope: clinometer [tan(degree read)*100• Soil moisture: weight after heated• Mineral content: LOI test (mass lost)• Flow velocity: surface or flow meter• Salinity: electric conductor (ppt)• Turbidity: secchi disk

2.3 Biotic Components of Ecosystems
• Dichotomous Key – ex: bats in Costa Rica• Often times subjective• % cover – immobile organisms
![Page 12: Ch 2: Ecosystem](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070422/56816403550346895dd5a800/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Lincoln Index
• Collecting and marking – Capture-mark-release-recapture
• N=n1*n2/m
![Page 13: Ch 2: Ecosystem](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070422/56816403550346895dd5a800/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Quadrats• Limit sampling area – random is best• Stratified random sampling with 2 different habitats• Put them at set distances (transecting)
– Systematic sampling– Continuous sampling: across entire transect
• Population density: # individuals of each sp. per unit area– #sp/total area
• Percentage frequency: % of total quadrat number sp. is present in• Estimating biomass
– Does not include water– Take 1 area’s mass, then multiply to estimate
– KIVA: pg 33 philosophy

Diversity and Simpson’s diversity index
• Diversity is not an old wooden ship.• Diversity: # diff. sp & # ind. of each sp.• High D – stable and ancient• Low D – pollution, recent colonization• Equation (don’t need to memorize but need to know what the symbols
are):
D=[N(N-1)]/[Ʃn(n-1)]
– D=diversity index– N=total number of all sp. found– n=number of ind. of a particular sp.– Ʃ=sum

2.4 Biomes
• Many ecosystems within same climate• What controls climate?
![Page 17: Ch 2: Ecosystem](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070422/56816403550346895dd5a800/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Homework:
• Each person select a biome and research it• Climate: temp, precipitation and insulation

Atmospheric Circulation
![Page 19: Ch 2: Ecosystem](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070422/56816403550346895dd5a800/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What are the green areas?
![Page 20: Ch 2: Ecosystem](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070422/56816403550346895dd5a800/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Tropical Rainforest
• Rains daily – very humid– Creates cumulus clouds
• Temp around 80 degrees F• Common organisms: Gorillas, orangutan, spider
monkey, whiptail lizard, toucans, collared aracari, rufous, motmot, cicada, pleasing fungus beetle, wasp, Bullet ant, walking stick, dart frog, coatimundi, Leaf frog, butterfly, collared peccary

What are the red areas?
![Page 22: Ch 2: Ecosystem](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070422/56816403550346895dd5a800/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Desert
• Cold desert:– Soil produces insensitive plants– Receives a lot of snow, melt is stored in soil– Winter temp averages 2-4 degrees C– Summer temp averages 20-26 degrees C– Organisms: jack rabbits, kangaroo rats, mice and
squirrels– Ex: Utah region

lichen, moss, birch, deer, snowshoe hare, porcupine, bobcat, lynx, fox, and elk
• Large threat: exploration and development of oil and natural gas

Grasslands
• Temp: stays relatively warm year round– Winter: long and dry (~4 inches)– Summer: very wet (25 inches)
• Organisms: Plants adapted to much water, (marsh) deer, large cats, ungulates, kangaroo – all adapted to long/fast travel
• One of the most studied climates• Ex: African Savanna or South America (mostly
flooded) Australia’s “bush”/“the scrub”
