Ecology
46
Terms


Punctuated equilibrium – In the fossil record,
long periods of apparent stasis (equilibrium), in
which a species undergoes little or no
morphological change, interrupted by relatively
brief periods of sudden change.
Epiphytic plant – a plant that nourishes itself
but grows on the surface of another plant for
support (often on trunks of tropic plants)
47
Terms


Ecological niche – sum total of an organisms
use of biotic and abiotic resources as it “fits
into” an ecosystem
Fundamental niche – resources a population is
capable of using
48
Terms cont’d



Realized niche – resources a population
actually does use
Limiting factor - something needed for
productivity (like water, O2 or CO2 for plants)
Resource partitioning – different niches allow
similar species to coexist in community
49
50
Terms cont’d



Dominant species - one in community that has
the most biomass
Biomass - sum weight of all individuals in
population
Keystone species - not abundant but has control
by role not numbers i.e.. sea star pg. 1184
51
Terms cont’d


Carrying capacity – maximum amount that can
live there without harming the species
Logistic growth – population growth that levels
off as population reaches carrying capacity
52
Terms cont’d

K – selected population - a population living
at or near its carrying capacity
- Produces relatively few offspring that have a
good chance for survival.
- Long life, low mortality rate (death rate)
53
Terms cont’d

R- selected population - a population where
densities fluctuate with little competition.
- short life span, high mortality rate ie.
dandelions
54
Terms cont’d


Altruism behavior – puts the needs of the
population before itself
Kin selection – needs of family come first


Aka Geometric population growth


J-shape is characteristic of populations that are
introduced into a new environment or whose
numbers have been drastically reduced by a
catastrophic event and they are now rebounding.
