interspecific competition is a +/- interaction that occurs when individuals of different species compete for a resource that limits their growth & survival
Competition
![Page 6: Campbell & Reece Chapter 54. a group of populations of different species living close enough to interact](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649de65503460f94adf650/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
grown separately, both show logistic growth
when compete Paramecium caudatum became extinct in the culture
2 species competing for same limiting resource: 1 will have advantage in either using resources or in reproduction
Competitive Exclusion
![Page 7: Campbell & Reece Chapter 54. a group of populations of different species living close enough to interact](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649de65503460f94adf650/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
is the sum of a species’ use of the biotic & abiotic resources in its environment
Eugene Odem: “If an organism’s habitat is its “address”, then niche is the organism’s “profession,”
Ecological Niche
![Page 8: Campbell & Reece Chapter 54. a group of populations of different species living close enough to interact](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649de65503460f94adf650/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
not just where an organism lives but also what it eats, when it eats, who eats it, how many resources it uses, how much & what type of wastes it produces, what its parasites are, etc
Niche
![Page 9: Campbell & Reece Chapter 54. a group of populations of different species living close enough to interact](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649de65503460f94adf650/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
3 birds live in spruce tree: each lives in different level so there is no competition even though all live in same trees
Niches: Resource Partitioning
![Page 10: Campbell & Reece Chapter 54. a group of populations of different species living close enough to interact](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649de65503460f94adf650/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
closely related species may have populations that are sometimes allopatric (geographically separate) & sometimes sympatric (geographically overlapping)
Character Displacement
![Page 11: Campbell & Reece Chapter 54. a group of populations of different species living close enough to interact](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649de65503460f94adf650/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
allopatric populations will be morphologically more similar & use similar resources
sympatric populations more likely to show differences in body structures & in the resources they use

many have complex life cycles requiring multiple hosts
some change behavior of their host to increase probability of it being transferred

Shannon diversity is an index of diversity based on species richness & abundance

summary of trophic relationships of a community
tells whom eats whom
Food Webs
![Page 43: Campbell & Reece Chapter 54. a group of populations of different species living close enough to interact](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649de65503460f94adf650/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Why are they short?1. Energetic Hypothesis
length limited by inefficiency of nrg transfer
2. Dynamic Stability Hypothesis longer food chains less stable population fluctuations @ lower trophic
levels magnified @ higher levels
Limits of Food Chain Length

the more abundant species in a community
are highly competitive
Dominant Species
![Page 45: Campbell & Reece Chapter 54. a group of populations of different species living close enough to interact](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649de65503460f94adf650/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
1 way to measure effect is to study what happens when a dominant species is removed:
ex: tree, American Chestnut was dominant tree in deciduous forests before 1910
fungal disease chestnut blight introduced: killed almost all of them didn’t bother maples, beeches, oak, or hickories, or birds, or mammals, but 7 species of moths & butterflies became extinct

proposes a unidirectional influence from lower to higher trophic levels presence or absence of mineral nutrients
(N) controls plant (V) #s which in turn controls herbivore (H) #s which in turn controls predator (P) #s
N V H P adding or removing #s of P will not effect
lower trophic levels but adding or removing N will affect biomass of all higher trophic levels

an event (storm, flood, fire, drought, overgrazing, or human activity) that changes a community by removing organisms from it or altering resource availability
Disturbance
![Page 57: Campbell & Reece Chapter 54. a group of populations of different species living close enough to interact](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649de65503460f94adf650/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
evidence suggests that disturbance & lack of equilibrium not stability & equilibrium, are the norm for most communities
Nonequilibrium Model
![Page 58: Campbell & Reece Chapter 54. a group of populations of different species living close enough to interact](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649de65503460f94adf650/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
type of disturbance, their frequency & severity vary among communities’
high level of disturbance is generally the result of a high intensity & high frequency disturbance
Characterizing Disturbance
![Page 59: Campbell & Reece Chapter 54. a group of populations of different species living close enough to interact](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649de65503460f94adf650/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
says moderate levels of disturbance can foster higher species diversity than can low or high levels of disturbance
Intermediate Disturbance Hypothesis

the sequence of community & ecosystem changes after a disturbance
Primary Succession: type of ecological succession that occurs in an area where there were originally no organisms present & where soil has not yet formed
Ecological Succession

type of succession that occurs where an existing community has been cleared by some disturbance that leaves the soil or substrate intact
Secondary Succession
![Page 63: Campbell & Reece Chapter 54. a group of populations of different species living close enough to interact](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649de65503460f94adf650/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
early arrival species may facilitate the arrival of late arriving species by making environment more hospitible
sometimes the early species inhibit establishment of later species so the later species succeeds in spite of the presence of early species
early species may be completely independent of later species which tolerate conditions created by early species
Succession

humans are the most widespread agents of disturbance
man‘s effects usually reduce species diversity
humans also interfere with natural disturbances like fires which can be important disturbances to some communities

species richness generally declines along a latitudinal gradient from the tropics the poles
tropics are much older which may contribute to species richness but it is also affected by climate (amt heat, sunlight, water)

the biodiversity pattern that shows that the larger the geographic area of a community is, the more species it has

Species richness of North American trees increases most predictably with actual evapotranspiration (evaporation of water from soil + transpiration of water from plants) which is a function of solar radiation, temp, & water availability

explanation for this phenomena: the larger areas offer greater diversity if habitats & microhabitats

are generally isolated, limited size so ideal for studying biogeographic factors that affect biodiversity
“islands” = oceanic islands + habitat islands ex: mountain tops Lakes woodland fragments

Immigration & Extinction Rates: equilibrium # of species on an island
represents a balance between the immigration of new species & extinction of established species

Effect of Island Size: larger islands may ultimately have a
larger equilibrium # of species than smaller islands because immigration rates tend to be higher & extinction rates lower on larger islands

Near islands tend to have larger equilibrium #s of species than far islands because immigration rates to near islands are higher & extinction rates are lower
