SPECIES INTERACTIONS, ECOLOGICAL SUCCESSIONS, AND POPULATION CONTROL,…

- - - - Birth/Death
      - Immigration
      - Population's age structure
      - Emigration
  - - - High rate of population increase
      - Short life spans
      - Usually small offspring
      - Not provide much parental care/protection
    - - Do well in competitive conditions when the population size near carrying capacity
      - .
        
        Fewer offspring with longer life spans
        
        Develop inside mother
        
        Reproduce later in life
- - - - Withstand external stress
    - - Inertia (persistence)
        
        The ability of an ecosystem to survive moderate disturbances
      - Resilience
        
        The ability of an ecosystem to be restored through secondary ecological succession after a more severe disturbance
  - - - Takes a few weeks
      - Develop in places containing soil or bottom sediment.
        
        Where an ecosystem has been disturbed, removed, or destroyed, but some soil or bottom sediment remains
    - - The gradual establishment of biotic communities in lifeless areas
        
        Where there is no soil in a terrestrial ecosystem or no bottom sediment in an aquatic system
      - Takes hundreds to thousands of years
- - - - Mimicry - non-poisonous species look like poisonous
      - Behavior strategies (puffing up, exhibiting warning coloration (indicating “eating me is risky”)
