Ch26: Community Ecology
Diversity
Diversity and Scale
-
larger areas have more soil variation, topography, geology, etc
-
-
-
-
several species have an abundance of individuals and are common, whereas most species have just a few individuals and are rare
local, region, biome, biogeographical region
Diversity and Latitude
the farther north you go, the lower diversity of species found
theories proposed surrounding this ex: tropics near the equator have relatively benign environments, whereas those at higher latitudes have more severe conditions
Climax community: habitat is altered by various species in a community to where its beneficial to them (for thousands of years) but not to others
Succession: new groups of organisms alter the environment so that they are excluded and new species come in
