Ecology
Branch of science Studies(I) the interaction among
organisms (ii) between organisms (iii) physical/abiotic environment.
Concerns with four levels of organisation – organism, populations, communities and biomes.

LEVELS OF ORGANIZATION (I) Organism
Every individual of a species is an organism.
Basic unit of ecology. Ecology in this level deals with
adaptations for survival and reproduction in their environment or habitat.

(II) Population
Consists of individuals of same species at a given place.
Have intraspecific competition for basic needs.
![Page 5: ORGANISMS AND POPULATION](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681422f550346895dae44ed/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
(III) Communities
Formed by an assemblage of populations of all different species that live in an area and interact among themselves.
A biotic community has distinct species composition and structure.

(IV) Biome
It is a large unit. Has major vegetation type and
associated fauna in a specific climatic zone.
Seasonal variation and annual variation in precipitation lead to biome formation.
E.g. artic and alpine tundra, coniferous forest, temperate forest, grass land, tropical forest and desert.

Environment
![Page 9: ORGANISMS AND POPULATION](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681422f550346895dae44ed/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Temperature
Average temperature varies seasonally. Decreases from equator to pole and plains to
mountain tops. Temp. ranges from sub zero (polar) to > 500
in tropical forests. Function and distribution of organisms
depends on temperature. Organisms are eurythermal or stenothermal. Global warming poses problems to organisms
both in survival and distribution.

Water
Influences life of organism of organism and it cannot sustain without water.
Productivity and distribution of plants depend on water.
Quality (pH, Chemical composition, salinity) of water is important for aquatic organisms.
Organisms may be euryhaline or stenohaline.
![Page 11: ORGANISMS AND POPULATION](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681422f550346895dae44ed/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Light
Photosynthesis and release of oxygen by plants need light
Sciophytes need very low light intensities for photosynthesis.
Animals use diurnal and seasonal light intensity variation and photoperiod for timing of forage, migration and reproduction.
Distribution of red, brown and green algae at different depth depends on light.

Soil
Nature and properties of soil in a place depends on climate, weathering process, soil types( transported/ sedimentary) and development of soil.
Soil composition, grain size and aggregation determine percolation and water holding capacity of soil.
Physical and chemical properties determine type of plants that can be grown and type of animals depend on those plants.
Bottom sediments in aquatic condition determine the type of benthic animals.

Response to environmental condition
![Page 14: ORGANISMS AND POPULATION](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681422f550346895dae44ed/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Regulation
Organisms maintain homeostasis achieved by physiological and/ or behavioral means.
Have constant body temperature (thermoregulation).
Constant osmotic concentration (osmoregulation)
![Page 15: ORGANISMS AND POPULATION](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681422f550346895dae44ed/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Conformation
Cannot maintain constant internal environment.
Body temperature changes with the ambient temperature.
Osmotic concentration of body fluid changes with the ambient concentration of medium.
Thermoregulation is an energy expensive process, heat loss or gain is a function of surface area of body.
![Page 16: ORGANISMS AND POPULATION](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681422f550346895dae44ed/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Migration
Occurs in stressful condition. Organisms move away temporarily to
another habitat. Birds undertake long distance
migration.
![Page 17: ORGANISMS AND POPULATION](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681422f550346895dae44ed/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Suspension
Organisms suspend their metabolic activities during stressful condition.
Resume their function at the return of favorable condition.
E.g. hibernation of frog, certain reptiles, polar bears. Aestivation in snail and fish. Seed dormancy.

Adaptation
It is the attribute of organism (morphological, physiological and behavioral) that enables the organism to survive and reproduce successfully in its habitat.
Kangaroo rat meets its water requirement through internal oxidation of fat, urinate minimal volume of concentrated urine.

Adaptation
Cold climate mammals have shorter ears and limbs to minimize heat loss( Allen’s rule).
Polar mammals like seals have blubber below their skin to prevent heat loss.
Burrowing habit of some animals to escape from heat.
Higher count of RBCs , Hb and high vital capacity of people of high altitude.

POPULATION GROWTH
Factors that affect size of any population Food availability Weather Predation pressure Competition
Density of a population at any time at a place depends on
(i)natality, (ii) mortality, (iii) emigration and (iv) immigration
