Ecology- is the study of the
relationships of organisms to their environment and to other organism.

ANIMALS AND THEIR ABIOTIC ENVIRONMENT
Habitat – environment biotic – all living abiotic – nonliving
Tolerance range – animals live within a certain range of values
Range of optimum – a certain range of values within the tolerance range
Limiting factor – out of an animals tolerance range
Taxis – animal’s response to an abiotic factor phototaxis – respond to light

Energy- ability to do work Heterotrophic - other feeder Autotrophic - organism carry on photosynthesis or other carbon – fixing activities that supply their food source Energy budget -total energy intake and a description of how that energy is used and lost

Temperature - influences the rates of chemical
reactions in animal cells ( metabolic rate ) and affects the animal’s overall activity.

Torpor - is a time of decreased
metabolism and lowered body temperature

Hibernation - occurs in small mammals

Winter sleep- occurs in some larger
animals

Aestivation - is period of inactivity in some animals
that must withstand extended periods of drying

Other Abiotic FactorsMoisture light Geology and soil

Populations- groups of individuals of the same species that occupy a given area at the same time and have unique attributes.
POPULATION GROWTH Type 1 (convex)- survive to an old age , then die rapidly Type 2 (diagonal)- have constant probability of death throughout their lives Type 3 (concave)- experience very high juvenile mortality
![Page 13: Chapter 6 Ecology: Preserve the Animal Kingdom](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081511/589affe41a28abb85d8b463b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Exponential growth- population increases by the same
ratio per unit time Environmental resistance Carrying capacity
- symbolized by K Logistic population growth
- growth curves assume a sigmoid, or flattened S, shape and the population growth

POPULATION REGULATION- the conditions that an animal must meet to survive are unique for every species.
Population Density Density – independent factors- influence the number of animals in a population without regard to the number of individuals Density – dependent factors- more severe when population density is high ( or sometimes very low ) than they are at other densities.

Intraspecific Competition- competition among members of the
same species
INTERSPECIFIC INTERACTIONS Herbivory and predation Interspecific competition Coevolution Symbiosis
![Page 18: Chapter 6 Ecology: Preserve the Animal Kingdom](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081511/589affe41a28abb85d8b463b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Herbivory and Predation
Herbivores – animals that feed on plants
Predators – feed by killing and eating organism
![Page 20: Chapter 6 Ecology: Preserve the Animal Kingdom](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081511/589affe41a28abb85d8b463b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
- when members of different species compete for resources
Interspecific competition
![Page 21: Chapter 6 Ecology: Preserve the Animal Kingdom](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081511/589affe41a28abb85d8b463b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
- when species are competing for the same resource or during predator – prey interaction
Coevolution
![Page 22: Chapter 6 Ecology: Preserve the Animal Kingdom](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081511/589affe41a28abb85d8b463b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
symbiosis- arising through coevolution come
from two different species living in continuing, intimate associations
*Parasitism*Commensalism*Mutualism
![Page 23: Chapter 6 Ecology: Preserve the Animal Kingdom](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081511/589affe41a28abb85d8b463b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
- which one organism lives in or on second organism called host
Parasitism
![Page 24: Chapter 6 Ecology: Preserve the Animal Kingdom](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081511/589affe41a28abb85d8b463b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Commensalism- which one member of the relationship benefits , and the
second is neither helped or harm
![Page 25: Chapter 6 Ecology: Preserve the Animal Kingdom](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081511/589affe41a28abb85d8b463b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
- relationship that benefits both members
Mutualism

Other Interspecific Adaptations Camouflage - occurs when animal’s patterns help hide the animal Cryptic coloration Countershading*Aposematic coloration -when an animal shows to the predator their condition by conspicuous coloration. Mimicry - when species resembles one, or sometimes more than one, other species and gains protection by the resemblance
![Page 27: Chapter 6 Ecology: Preserve the Animal Kingdom](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081511/589affe41a28abb85d8b463b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
- when animal takes on color patterns of environment to prevent the animal by seeing from other animals
• Cryptic coloration

Countershading- common in frog and toad

Mimicry- species resembles one or more than
one , other species and gains protection by the resemblance

Communities- all populations living in an area Dominant species- species that are responsible for establishing community characteristic Community (species) diversity/richness- characterized by the variety of species contain.
THE ECOLOGICAL NICHE- includes all the attributes of an animal’s lifestyle

Community Stability Succession-a process by which the dominant members of the community change a community in predictable ways Pioneer community - the first community to become established in an area. Seral stage Sere Climax community- usually have complex structure and high species diversity

*BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLES
Cycling within Ecosystem
The flow of chemical elements and compounds between living organisms and the physical environment.

ECOLOGICAL PROBLEMSEcological Problems- Known process that has negative effects on the sustainability of the environmental quality necessary for well being of organisms living in it.
Human Population Growth Environmental PollutionResource Depletion And Biodiversity
![Page 37: Chapter 6 Ecology: Preserve the Animal Kingdom](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081511/589affe41a28abb85d8b463b/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Human population growth - is the root of virtually all environmental problems - tend to grow exponentially
![Page 38: Chapter 6 Ecology: Preserve the Animal Kingdom](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081511/589affe41a28abb85d8b463b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Environmental Pollution defined as the undesirable change in
physical, chemical and biological characteristics of our air, land and water
Classification of environmental pollution Pollution can be broadly classified according
to the components of environment that are polluted.
1. Air Pollution any imbalance in the ratio of oxygen, carbon
dioxide and nitrogen.
![Page 39: Chapter 6 Ecology: Preserve the Animal Kingdom](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081511/589affe41a28abb85d8b463b/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Air PollutionHuman Effects on Air pollution: Affects respiratory
system Skin cancer Damage to eyes
and immune system
![Page 40: Chapter 6 Ecology: Preserve the Animal Kingdom](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081511/589affe41a28abb85d8b463b/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
2.Water Pollution Any physical, biological or chemical change in water quality that adversely affects living organisms or makes water unsuitable for use.Sources of water pollution:
![Page 41: Chapter 6 Ecology: Preserve the Animal Kingdom](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081511/589affe41a28abb85d8b463b/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Human Effects on Air Pollution: Waterborne diseases
(typhoid, cholera, dysentery, hepatitis, jaundice)
The presence of acids/alkalies in water destroys the microorganisms, thereby hindering a self-purification process in the rivers or water bodies.

3.Soil Pollution(Land Degradation)Due to: Deforestation Dumping of solid
wastes

RESOURCE DEPLETION AND BIODIVERSITY
Biodiversity - the variety of living organisms in an
ecosystem
![Page 44: Chapter 6 Ecology: Preserve the Animal Kingdom](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081511/589affe41a28abb85d8b463b/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
The problems of threatened biodiversity have solutions, but none of the solution is quick and easy.
1. Money 2. Realization 3. International ethics
