Q

symbiosis

A

intimate relationship or association between two or more members of a species

30
Q

mutualism

A

symbiotic relationship in which both symbionts benefit

31
Q

commensalism

A

symbiotic relationship in which one symbiont is benefited and the other is neither helped nor harmed

32
Q

obligate mutualism

A

mutualism that is essential to the survival of both symbionts

33
Q

facultative mutualism

A

mutualism in which either symbiont can live on its own under certain condititions

34
Q

Examples of mutualism

A

nitrogen fixing bacteria and legume
reef-building animals and zooxanthellae
mycorrhizae

35
Q

mycorrhizae

A

mutualistic associations between fungi and the roots of plants

36
Q

parasitism

A

symbiotic relationship in which one symbiont is benefited and the other is harmed

37
Q

parasite

A

benefits from parasitism

38
Q

host

A

harmed by parasites in parasitism

39
Q

pathogen

A

parasite that causes disease and sometimes the death of its host

40
Q

ectoparasites

A

ticks and other parasites that live outside of the host’s body

41
Q

endoparasites

A

parasites like tapeworms that live within the host’s body

42
Q

Entamoeba histolytica

A

amoebic dysentery

43
Q

Plasmodium

A

an apicomplexan that causes malaria

44
Q

ecological niche

A

a species’ ecological role within the structure and function of a community

45
Q

factors a niche considers

A

abiotic and biotic parts of existence
habitat, predation, and competition
interaction with abiotic factors

46
Q

fundamental niche

A

potential ecological niche of a species

47
Q

realized niche

A

lifestyle a species actually pursues and the resources it actually uses

48
Q

habitat

A

local environment in which a species lives

49
Q

structural, physiological, and behavioral adaptations…

A

determine tolerance for environmental extremes

50
Q

limiting resource

A

any environmental resource that because it is scare or unfavorable tends to restrict the ecological niche of species

51
Q

examples of limiting resources

A

soil’s mineral content
temperature extremes
precipitation amounts

52
Q

keystone species

A

certain species that are crucial in determining the nature of the entire community (its species composition and ecosystem functioning)

53
Q

characteristics of keystone species

A
  • usually not the most abundant
  • often affect the amount of limiting resources
  • difficult to measure direct and indirect impacts on ecosystem
  • many are apex predators
54
Q

dominant species

A

greatly affect the community because they are very common

55
Q

examples of dominant species

A
  • trees in a forest
  • cordgrass in salt marshes
  • coral in coral reefs
56
Q

species richness

A

number of species in a community

57
Q

factors determining number of species

A 
structural complexity of habitats
geographic isolation
habitat stress
closeness to the margins of adjacent communities
geological history
58
Q

species richness is ___ related to geographic isolation

why?

A

inversely

distance effect
isolated areas are smaller and have fewer niches

59
Q

distance effect

A

difficulty encountered by many species in reaching and successfully colonizing the island

60
Q

species richness is ___ related to environmental stress; why?

A

inversely; species richness- energy hypothesis

61
Q

species richness- energy hypothesis

A

suggests that different latitudes affect species richness because of variations in solar energy

62
Q

species richness is ___ related to closeness to margins of communities; why?

A

directly; more ecological niches because of being in the ecotone

63
Q

ecotone

A

transitional zone where two or more communities meet

64
Q

species richness is ___ related to structural complexity; why?

A

directly; greater complexity= more niches to fill

65
Q

species richness is ___ related to less disturbed, stable communities

A

directly; time hypothesis

66
Q

time hypothesis

A

idea that older, more stable habitats have greater species richness than habitats subjected to frequent widespread disturbances

67
Q

disturbance

A

any event in time that disrupts community or population structure

68
Q

community stability

A

ability of a community to withstand disturbances

69
Q

species diversity-

A

measure of the relative importance of each species within a community

70
Q

diversity indices

A

mathematical expression to represent species diversity
