Resource Competition
• when two or more organisms need the same resource. – Competition can occur between two different species
or between two individuals of the same species . • The ___________ items include all living
organisms in an ecosystem • The ___________ items include all non-living
materials in an ecosystem • A unique role of an organism within an
ecosystem is known as a — – Niche
biotic biotic
abiotic abiotic

Think – Pair- Share
• What are some biotic and abiotic factors that organisms might compete for?
• Why do some organisms end up surviving while others die off?

Natural Selection• Charles Darwin- studied finches (bird species) on the Galapagos islands.
–Natural Selection • (“Survival of the fittest”)
– a natural process resulting in the evolution of organisms best adapted to survive in their environment

Traits and Adaptations
• Traits- characteristics that can be passed down from parent to offspring.
• Examples: eye color, height, hunting instincts
• Adaptations- characteristics that help an organism survive better in its environment; inherited OR learned
1. What adaptations does this tree frog have?
2. How is this anteater adapted for survival?

• What factors might these giraffes be in competition for?
• What adaptations do these giraffes have?• Why didn’t the short-necked giraffe disappear
from time period A to B?• How did natural selection change this population
from time period A to C?
