Couche’s Spadefoot Toad of Sonoran Desert
Lies Dormant 11/12 months
Sensors that detect vibrations of violent rainstorms
Emerges from sand Males call Females Egg Laying occurs
in pools of water Frogs return to
sand for protection against sun
Organisms & their environment
What is Ecology?? Scientific study of interactions
among organisms & their environment
Living & nonliving, using all fields, math, chemistry, physics, geology
Scientific research by descriptive & quantitative methods
Aspects of Ecological Study
Biosphere – portion of earth that supports life from the air that supports birds to the bottom of the ocean
It is widely diverse – desert to rain forest
http://sps.k12.ar.us/massengale/biology
Organisms in Ecosystems Habitat A place where an organism lives out its
life
Niche How the organism lives its life How each species meets its needs for
food, shelter, survival, reproduction – all interactions between biotic & abiotic
(humming bird/polar bear)
http://sps.k12.ar.us/massengale/biology
Abiotic Factors nonliving part of an organisms
environment factors include: Air current, temperature, moisture, light, soil
Biotic Factors all the living organisms that inhabit an environmentAll organisms depend on others for food,Shelter, protection, reproduction

Three major kinds of ecosystems: Terrestrial – land, forest, meadows, desert
Freshwater – lakes Marine or saltwater – 75 %

October 4, 2010 Write 2 test questions from your
notes.. Summarize notes Get out your food chain/food web
worksheets from Friday so I can see where you are
Left side ??? Of the day: Differentiate between a food chain and
a food web in terms of energy flow Finish up Food Chain/Food Web wkst Notes for Chapter 2 – Quiz Wednesday
Gazelle Ingenious cooling

to 50 mph Hundreds of small
arteries that pass through a large pool of blood in the nasal passages
Inhaled air cools nasal blood in small arteries like a heat exchanger

Carbon Cycle Carbon is the basic building block
for all living organisms It is moved through the
atmosphere by plants/animals in CO2/O2 exchange through breathing and photosynthesis
Large carbon deposits exist in the oceans and soil from dead organisms
Carbon Cycle
www.windows.ucar.edu/.../images/carboncycle.jpg
Water Cycle Water is stored in all three states
of matter
It is released into the atmosphere by evaporation and from plants through transpiration
It is cycled through precipitation and runoff
http://www.marietta.edu/~biol/102/wcycle.gif
Nitrogen Cycle Although the atmosphere is >70%
organisms cannot utilize nitrogen in that form
Nitrogen is essential for plant growth, obtained through soil
Nitrogen can be found in all waste products of animals
Nitrogen Cycle
www.windows.ucar.edu/.../images/nitrogencycle.jpg
Phosphorous Cycle Phosphorous is stored in rocks and
soil
Phosphorous is then moved through the rock and water cycle
Plants and animals take in phosphorous
Phosphorous Cycle

Communities
Limiting Factors Anything (biotic or
abiotic) that restricts the organisms population, existence, distribution
Range of Tolerance How long an organism
can tolerate changes in biotic and abiotic factors (ex.: catfish vs bass)
Primary Succession – first species in the area (climax community)
Secondary Succession- growth and changes to the area a after major upheaval, either natural or human, fire, deforestation, earthquake(soil is present already)
Biodiversity- variations in living organisms
