continually interact with each other‚ thus making complex systems with intersecting properties wherein “everything is connected”. In ecosystem ecology‚ we study about an individual‚ a community and a population. Interactions and relations between the biotic and abiotic components like prey-predator‚ producer-consumer are also under the study of ecosystem ecology. II. Objectives At the end of the exercise‚ the student was able to: 1. Enumerate the different components of the ecosystem 2. Describe

Communities and Ecosystems 37.1 Multiple Species Interact in Communities ~Communities are composed of coexisting populations of multiple species ~An ecosystem consists of a biotic community plus its abiotic environment ~Each species in a community has a place where it normally lives and a set of resources necessary for its life activities ~Ecologists describe the diversity of a community by measuring species richness and the relative abundance of each species. * Populations interact in many

COMMUNITY ECOLOGICAL PRACTICAL – BIO2011 2266264 Title: The difference in bird communities using climate as a factor in two differing habitats. Introduction: Bird communities are highly vulnerable to changes in climate as a variable. The factor of habitat type is also very important in determining the abundance and diversity of bird communities. Habitat features‚ elevation and variation in climates is seen to been ecologically important‚ as these particular three factors in differing combinations

what happens when human behavior is modeled to reflect natural animal behavior‚ mirroring the origins of man rather than the socialized creature he has become? In her fifth novel‚ Prodigal Summer (2000)‚ Barbara Kingsolver uses her own background in ecology and evolutionary biology to inform the natural order of a fictionalized Appalachia.[2] She argues for a Darwinian view of the necessity of human relationships and the passing on of knowledge via progeny: humans must reproduce and raise offspring communally

for human life. Pollution can cause diseases such as breathing difficulties‚ cancer‚ skin allergies‚ etc. As a result‚ pollution can cut back human lifespan. As a second negative effect of pollution is animal extinction. Every year‚ a lot of aquatic animals die because of the water pollution. Some fish and crustaceans eat small particles of plastic dropped in the ocean and cannot digest this easily‚ so they feel full and stop to eat and die of starvation. For instance‚ other animals which live
