In ecology‚ competition occurs between any organisms living in a mutual habitat. Competition can either be harmful or helpful to each organism‚ whether it is for food‚ water‚ shelter‚ etc. There are two basic types of competition: intraspecific competition or interspecific competition. Intraspecific competition is the competition that occurs between the individuals of the same species (T. Smith & R. Smith pg. 222). On the other hand‚ interspecific competition is the competition that occurs between

Pollination is service provided by insects and other small animals. Also Honey-bees distribute pollen among plants of the same species. This function of ecosystem could not be imitated by any jet invented technology. Plants

1.History of ecology .Ecology as a science. Sub-disciplines of ecology. Economics and Ecology. Ecology appeared as a distinct field of science in the second part of the nineteenth century from a diversity of different areas‚ such as geography‚ plant physiology‚ taxonomy‚ and the theory of evolution. In 1893 two significant events happened. First‚ the book “Flower Ecology” by L.H. Pammel‚ was published. Secondly‚ the Madison Botanical Congress adopted the term "ecology" as denoting a new branch of

In its evolution‚ the internet has been greatly affected by emerging communication technologies such as online publishing software and communications technology. Consequently‚ these factors have led it to be promoted as the new public sphere in the way it has become a facilitator of public discussion and great social change. By Habermas’s definition‚ the public sphere is ‘a realm of our social life in which something approaching public opinion can be formed’ (Habermas‚ 1974‚ p. 49). This is particularly

Ecology #1 1- Define abiotic and biotic components of the environment. Natural environment includes all the living and non-living components occurring naturally on Earth. The biological components of the ecosystem that is the biotic components interact with the physical entities (abiotic components). The scientific study of the interaction of biotic community with each other and with abiotic components is known as Ecology. Abiotic Components The abiotic components are also known as the abiotic
