III. Ecological Context of Inter-Order Interactions - Coggle Diagram
Topics and Subtopics:
- Niche Partitioning Across Orders
- How different orders occupy different ecological niches to reduce competition.
- Example: Herbivores of different orders feeding on different plant species or parts.
- Food Webs and Trophic Interactions
- Role of different orders in food webs and trophic pyramids.
- The concept of keystone species and their impact on other orders.
- How energy is transferred between orders in ecosystems.
- Co-evolution and Ecological Relationships
- Case studies of co-evolution between different orders (e.g., predator-prey co-evolution).
- How these co-evolutionary dynamics shape biodiversity.
- Biodiversity and Ecosystem Stability
- Effects of loss of one order on the balance of ecosystems (e.g., extinction of an apex predator).
- How interactions between orders contribute to biodiversity and ecosystem resilience.
