What is a community?What is a community?Many species living closely
together, so that they interact with each-other.
![Page 3: COMMUNITY ECOLOGY Chapter 54. What is a community? Many species living closely together, so that they interact with each-other.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062722/56649f355503460f94c530a0/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Population Interactions:Population Interactions:Intraspecific competition - within
a speciesInterspecific interactions -
Individuals of different species compete for a resource that limits their growth and survival

Interspecific competitionInterspecific competition-/- interaction Competition must occur:
◦interference competition - actual fighting occurs
◦exploitation competition - consumption or use of similar resource
Ex: weeds growing in a garden compete with garden plants, lynx and foxes compete for snowshoe hares

Competitive Exclusion Competitive Exclusion PrinciplePrincipleTwo species cannot coexist in a
community if their niches are identical
Ecologically similar species can coexist in a community if there are one or more differences in their niches

What defense is seen here?
Other defenses:
• Chemicals that cause plant to taste bad
• Poisonous chemicals

In this relationship, the ant hollows out the thorns of the plant for nests, feed on sweet secretions from the four nectaries at the base of each petiole, and protect these trees from invertebrate herbivores.

Heliconius butterflies (Heliconius sp.) lay their eggs on the leaves of the passionflower vine (Passiflora sp.). When the eggs hatch into hungry, leaf-eating Heliconius caterpillars, the passionflower vines protect themselves with an array of defenses.
Fake eggs . . . some passionflower vines grow parts that look like Heliconius caterpillar eggs. This keeps the female Heliconius butterfly from laying eggs on leaves that appear to be occupied by other cannibalistic caterpillars.

Dumpers . . . Some Heliconius butterflies like to lay their eggs on upward-curling tendrils of passionflower vines. Some vines produce fake tendrils that are weak and fall off under the weight of the developing butterfly eggs.

PredatorsPredators
Can reduce relative abundanceCan reduce diversity by
eliminating competitors - keystone predators◦sea star feeds on mussels and other
organisms, remove sea star and mussels take over the region and eliminate species diversity.

Parasites are also +/-Parasites are also +/-Endoparasites-live within the body of
their host◦Ex. tapeworms
Ectoparasites-parasites that feed on the external surface of a host◦Ex. Ticks, lice
Parasitoid insects-lay eggs on the body of the host, the larva then feed on the body of the host, eventually killing it

Community StructureCommunity StructureFeeding relationshipsRichness - number of different
speciesRelative abundance - number in
individuals in each speciesDiversity - combination of abundance
and richnessCommunities with even distribution
of species are more diverse than communities with greater richness but skewed distributions

Control of community Control of community structurestructureDominant species-species in a community
that have highest abundance or biomass◦ Sugar maples
Keystone species-not abundant but exert strong control on community structure◦ Remove the species to determine if it is a
keystone species◦ Sea otters
Invasive species-no natural predators so their population is not held in check◦ Buckthorn, garlic mustard, purple loosestrife

floods overgrazing etc. can effect stability
Humans bring disturbance

to changeprimary succession - soil never
formed beforesecondary succession - existing
community was disturbed and returned to original state.
