Community Ecology
Predator-prey interactions
Predator selection among multiple prey
Very common system among herbivores
System where only one species of predator consumes multiple species of prey
Competition between species
System wheres multiple species compete for the same resources
One predator, one prey
The simplest system of predator-prey interactions
System where only one species of prey is attacked by only one species of predator
Apparent competition
System where a decrease in one plant species is associated with an increase in another species, which looks like competition even though they are not competing for resources
Diversity
Scale
The size of a community
Important to consider when studying a community's diversity
The relationship between area and species richness is the species-area relationship
Latitude
Can severely limit the diversity of a community
Beneficial interactions between species
Mutualism
Both species benefit from the interaction
Metapopulations in patchy environments
Areas where several populations are connected by migration and gene flow
Crucial to preserving endangered species
Interconnectedness of species
Food chains
Follows only one line of consumption from start to finish
Food web
Follows multiple potential relationships in a community
