5 -1 How Do Species Interact? • Concept 5 -1 Five types of species interactions— competition, predation, parasitism, mutualism, and commensalism—affect the resource use and population sizes of the species in an ecosystem.
Species Interact in Five Major Ways • Interspecific Competition • Predation • Parasitism • Mutualism • Commensalism
Most Species Compete with One Another for Certain Resources • For limited resources • Ecological niche for exploiting resources • Some niches overlap
Some Species Evolve Ways to Share Resources • Resource partitioning • Using only parts of resource • Using at different times • Using in different ways

Fruit and seed eaters Insect and nectar eaters Greater Koa-finch Kuai Akialaoa Amakihi Kona Grosbeak Akiapolaau Crested Honeycreeper Maui Parrotbill Unknown finch ancestor Apapane Fig. 5 -3, p. 107
Most Consumer Species Feed on Live Organisms of Other Species (1) • Predators may capture prey by 1. Walking 2. Swimming 3. Flying 4. Pursuit and ambush 5. Camouflage 6. Chemical warfare
Predator-Prey Relationships Fig. 5 -4, p. 107
Most Consumer Species Feed on Live Organisms of Other Species (2) • Prey may avoid capture by 1. Run, swim, fly 2. Protection: shells, bark, thorns 3. Camouflage 4. Chemical warfare 5. Warning coloration 6. Mimicry 7. Deceptive looks 8. Deceptive behavior
(a) Span worm (c) Bombardier beetle (e) Poison dart frog (g) Hind wings of Io moth resemble eyes of a much larger animal. (b) Wandering leaf insect (d) Foul-tasting monarch butterfly (f) Viceroy butterfly mimics monarch butterfly (h) When touched, snake caterpillar changes shape to look like head of snake. Stepped Art Fig. 5 -5, p. 109
Science Focus: Threats to Kelp Forests • Kelp forests: biologically diverse marine habitat • Major threats to kelp forests 1. Sea urchins 2. Pollution from water run-off 3. Global warming
Purple Sea Urchin Fig. 5 -A, p. 108
Predator and Prey Interactions Can Drive Each Other’s Evolution • Intense natural selection pressures between predator and prey populations • Coevolution • Interact over a long period of time • Bats and moths: echolocation of bats and sensitive hearing of moths
Coevolution: A Langohrfledermaus Bat Hunting a Moth Fig. 5 -6, p. 110
Some Species Feed off Other Species by Living on or in Them • Parasitism • Parasite is usually much smaller than the host • Parasite rarely kills the host • Parasite-host interaction may lead to coevolution
Parasitism: Trout with Blood-Sucking Sea Lamprey Fig. 5 -7, p. 110
In Some Interactions, Both Species Benefit • Mutualism • Nutrition and protection relationship • Gut inhabitant mutualism • Not cooperation: it’s mutual exploitation
Mutualism: Hummingbird and Flower Fig. 5 -8, p. 110
Mutualism: Oxpeckers Clean Rhinoceros; Anemones Protect and Feed Clownfish Fig. 5 -9, p. 111
(a) Oxpeckers and black rhinoceros Fig. 5 -9 a, p. 111
(b) Clownfish and sea anemone Fig. 5 -9 b, p. 111
In Some Interactions, One Species Benefits and the Other Is Not Harmed • Commensalism • Epiphytes • Birds nesting in trees
Commensalism: Bromiliad Roots on Tree Trunk Without Harming Tree Fig. 5 -10, p. 111
Section 1 review • Define interspecific competition, predation, parasitism, mutalism, and commensalism and give an example of each. • Explain how each of these species interactions can affect the population sizes of species in ecosystems. • Describe and give an example of resource partitioning and explain how it can increase species diversity.
5 -2 What Limits the Growth of Populations? • Concept 5 -2 No population can continue to grow indefinitely because of limitations on resources and because of competition among species for those resources.
Most Populations Live Together in Clumps or Patches (1) • Population: group of interbreeding individuals of the same species • Population distribution 1. Clumping 2. Uniform dispersion 3. Random dispersion
Most Populations Live Together in Clumps or Patches (2) • Why clumping? 1. Species tend to cluster where resources are available 2. Groups have a better chance of finding clumped resources 3. Protects some animals from predators 4. Packs allow some to get prey

(b) Uniform (creosote bush) Fig. 5 -12 b, p. 112
(c) Random (dandelions) Fig. 5 -12 c, p. 112
Populations Can Grow, Shrink, or Remain Stable (1) • Population size governed by • • Births Deaths Immigration Emigration • Population change = (births + immigration) – (deaths + emigration)
Populations Can Grow, Shrink, or Remain Stable (2) • Age structure • Pre-reproductive age • Reproductive age • Post-reproductive age
Some Factors Can Limit Population Size • Range of tolerance • Variations in physical and chemical environment • Limiting factor principle • Too much or too little of any physical or chemical factor can limit or prevent growth of a population, even if all other factors are at or near the optimal range of tolerance • Precipitation • Nutrients • Sunlight, etc
Lower limit of tolerance Few organisms Abundance of organisms Few organisms No organisms Population size No organisms Higher limit of tolerance Zone of intolerance physiological stress Low Optimum range Temperature Zone of physiological intolerance stress High Fig. 5 -13, p. 113
No Population Can Grow Indefinitely: J-Curves and S-Curves (1) • Size of populations controlled by limiting factors: • • • Light Water Space Nutrients Exposure to too many competitors, predators or infectious diseases
No Population Can Grow Indefinitely: J-Curves and S-Curves (2) • Environmental resistance • All factors that act to limit the growth of a population • Carrying capacity (K) • Maximum population a given habitat can sustain
No Population Can Grow Indefinitely: J-Curves and S-Curves (3) • Exponential growth • Starts slowly, then accelerates to carrying capacity when meets environmental resistance • Logistic growth • Decreased population growth rate as population size reaches carrying capacity
Number of sheep (millions) 2. 0 Population overshoots carrying capacity Carrying capacity 1. 5 Population recovers and stabilizes 1. 0 Exponential growth Population runs out of resources and crashes . 5 1800 1825 1850 1875 Year 1900 1925 Fig. 5 -15, p. 115
Science Focus: Why Do California’s Sea Otters Face an Uncertain Future? • Low biotic potential • Prey for orcas • Cat parasites • Thorny-headed worms • Toxic algae blooms • PCBs and other toxins • Oil spills

When a Population Exceeds Its Habitat’s Carrying Capacity, Its Population Can Crash • A population exceeds the area’s carrying capacity • Reproductive time lag may lead to overshoot • Population crash • Damage may reduce area’s carrying capacity
Population overshoots carrying capacity Number of reindeer 2, 000 1, 500 Population crashes 1, 000 500 Carrying capacity 0 1910 1920 1930 Year 1940 1950 Fig. 5 -17, p. 116
Species Have Different Reproductive Patterns (1) • Some species • • Many, usually small, offspring Little or no parental care Massive deaths of offspring Insects, bacteria, algae
Species Have Different Reproductive Patterns (2) • Other species • • Reproduce later in life Small number of offspring with long life spans Young offspring grow inside mother Long time to maturity Protected by parents, and potentially groups Humans Elephants
Under Some Circumstances Population Density Affects Population Size • Density-dependent population controls • • Predation Parasitism Infectious disease Competition for resources
Several Different Types of Population Change Occur in Nature • Stable • Irruptive • Population surge, followed by crash • Cyclic fluctuations, boom-and-bust cycles • Top-down population regulation • Bottom-up population regulation • Irregular

Humans Are Not Exempt from Nature’s Population Controls • Ireland • Potato crop in 1845 • Bubonic plague • Fourteenth century • AIDS • Global epidemic
Section 2 Review • Describe four variables that govern changes in population size and write an equation showing how they interact. • What is a population’s age structure and what are three major age groups called? • Distinguish between the environmental resistance and the carrying capacity of an environment, and use these concepts to explain why there always limits to population growth in nature.
5 -3 How Do Communities and Ecosystems Respond to Changing Environmental Conditions? • Concept 5 -3 The structure and species composition of communities and ecosystems change in response to changing environmental conditions through a process called ecological succession.
Communities and Ecosystems Change over Time: Ecological Succession • Natural ecological restoration • Primary succession • Secondary succession
Some Ecosystems Start from Scratch: Primary Succession • No soil in a terrestrial system • No bottom sediment in an aquatic system • Takes hundreds to thousands of years • Need to build up soils/sediments to provide necessary nutrients

Secondary Ecological Succession in Yellowstone Following the 1998 Fire Fig. 5 -21, p. 120
Some Ecosystems Do Not Have to Start from Scratch: Secondary Succession (2) • Primary and secondary succession • Tend to increase biodiversity • Increase species richness and interactions among species • Primary and secondary succession can be interrupted by • • • Fires Hurricanes Clear-cutting of forests Plowing of grasslands Invasion by nonnative species
Science Focus: How Do Species Replace One Another in Ecological Succession? • Facilitation • Inhibition • Tolerance
Succession Doesn’t Follow a Predictable Path • Traditional view • Balance of nature and a climax community • Current view • Ever-changing mosaic of patches of vegetation • Mature late-successional ecosystems • State of continual disturbance and change
Living Systems Are Sustained through Constant Change • Inertia, persistence • Ability of a living system to survive moderate disturbances • Resilience • Ability of a living system to be restored through secondary succession after a moderate disturbance • Some systems have one property, but not the other: tropical rainforests
Three Big Ideas 1. Certain interactions among species affect their use of resources and their population sizes. 2. There always limits to population growth in nature. 3. Changes in environmental conditions cause communities and ecosystems to gradually alter their species composition and population sizes (ecological succession).
