Finding Gold in a Costa Rican Cloud Forest Golden toads lived in Costa Rica’s Monteverde cloud forest. Golden toads were first described in They were extinct by Golden toads lived in Costa Rica’s Monteverde cloud forest. Golden toads were first described in They were extinct by Talk About It Why is the extinction of the golden toad a global concern?

Lesson 4.1 Studying Ecology Ernst Haeckel defined ecology in 1866 as “the body of knowledge concerning the economy of nature—the total relations of the animal to both its inorganic and organic environment.”

Levels of Ecological Organization The study of how organisms interact with each other and with their environments Scientists study ecology at various levels of organization. The study of how organisms interact with each other and with their environments Scientists study ecology at various levels of organization. Lesson 4.1 Studying Ecology

Biotic and Abiotic Factors Biotic factors: Parts of an ecosystem that are living or used to be livingBiotic factors: Parts of an ecosystem that are living or used to be living Abiotic factors: Parts of an ecosystem that have never been livingAbiotic factors: Parts of an ecosystem that have never been living Lesson 4.1 Studying Ecology Did You Know? Decaying organisms are biotic factors as long as their structure remains cellular.

Habitat The specific environment in which an organism lives Habitats provide an organism with resources—anything an organism needs to survive and reproduce, including food, shelter, and mates. The specific environment in which an organism lives Habitats provide an organism with resources—anything an organism needs to survive and reproduce, including food, shelter, and mates. Lesson 4.1 Studying Ecology

Lesson 4.2 Describing Populations From 1900 to 2000, the white-tailed deer population of New York state grew from about 20,000 to more than 1 million. Densities of more than 100 deer per sq mi occur in some metropolitan areas.

Population Size Lesson 4.2 Describing Populations The number of individuals in a population at a given time Sudden and dramatic decreases in population size can indicate an unhealthy population headed toward extinction. Ecologists often use sampling techniques to estimate population size. Did You Know? The passenger pigeon was once North America’s most abundant bird. Hunting drove them to extinction in less than 100 years. Counting Laysan Albatross Nests

Population Density Lesson 4.2 Describing Populations Measure of how crowded a population is Larger organisms generally have lower population densities. Low population density: More space, resources; finding mates can be difficult High population density: Finding mates is easier; tends to be more competition; more infectious disease; more vulnerability to predators Northern pintail ducks

Population Distribution Lesson 4.2 Describing Populations How organisms are arranged within an area: Random distribution: Organisms arranged in no particular pattern Uniform distribution: Organisms evenly spaced Clumped distribution: Organisms grouped near resources; most common distribution in nature

Age Structure Lesson 4.2 Describing Populations Relative number of organisms of each age group within population Can be used to predict future population growth of a population

Sex Ratios Lesson 4.2 Describing Populations Proportion of males to females Age structure diagrams give information about sex ratios. For a monogamous species, the ideal sex ratio is 50:50.

Lesson 4.3 Population Growth From 1800 to today, the human population has grown from about 1 billion to more than 6.8 billion—an exponential rate of increase.

DO NOW Go up to the fish tank, one table at a time and observe Answer the following questions: 1)List the abiotic/biotic factors in the tank 2)Describe the habitat of the organisms living there 3)Is there one population of species? Or multiple? 4)What makes this ecosystem unique to the organisms inhabiting it?

Birth and Death Rates Lesson 4.3 Population Growth A population’s relative birth and death rates (mortality and natality) affect how it grows. Survivorship curves show how the likelihood of death varies with age.

Immigration and Emigration Lesson 4.3 Population Growth In addition to births and deaths, population growth is affected by immigration and emigration—individuals moving into and out of a population. Migration, seasonal movement into and out of an area, can temporarily affect population size.

Population Growth Lesson 4.3 Population Growth Growing populations have a positive growth rate; shrinking populations have a negative growth rate. Usually expressed in terms of individuals per 1000 Did You Know? Immigration contributes more than 1 million people to the U.S. population per year.

Exponential Growth Lesson 4.3 Population Growth Population increases by a fixed percentage every year. Normally occurs only when small populations are introduced to an area with ideal environmental conditions Rarely lasts long

Logistic Growth and Limiting Factors Lesson 4.3 Population Growth Growth almost always slows and stops due to limiting factors. Limiting factors: Environmental characteristics slow population growth and determine carrying capacity. Density-dependent: Influence changes with population density. Density-independent: Influence does not change with population density.

Biotic Potential Lesson 4.3 Population Growth An organism’s maximum ability to produce offspring in ideal conditions Many factors influence biotic potential, including gestation time and generation time. Organisms with high biotic potential can recover more quickly from population declines than organisms with low biotic potential.
