2a- Ecology & Living Relationships
![Page 2: Ecology 2a- Ecology & Living Relationships. Principles of Ecology Ecology – study of relationships between living and nonliving parts of the world Ernst.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032709/56649edb5503460f94bea5aa/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Principles of Ecology• Ecology – study of
relationships between living and nonliving parts of the world
• Ernst Haeckel (1866) – first to use the word to name the study of how organisms fit into their environment

Interdependence• All organisms interact with…
1. The other organisms around them2. The nonliving parts of their environment
• Survival depends on these interactions.

Parts of the Environment
• Abiotic factors – non-living parts of an organism’s environment– Air currents, temperature,
moisture, light, soil
• Biotic factors – all the living things that inhabit the environment

Niche vs. Habitat vs. Ecosystem
• Ecosystem – all the organisms in a given area and the abiotic factors that affect them
• Habitat – the place an organism lives out its life
• Niche – role and position a species has in its environment– Includes all biotic and abiotic interactions as an organism
meets its needs for survival– If two species are competing for the same niche, one will
most likely drive the other out and take control of the niche.

Niche vs. Habitat vs. Ecosystem
An egret lives around Jones Pond which is part of the Smith River Estuary. The egret and its mate eat fish, frogs, salamanders, snakes, crayfish, mice, aquatic insects, crickets, grasshoppers, and a variety of other insects in Jones Pond and build a nest in a tree along side the pond.
• What is the egret’s habitat?• What is the egret’s niche?• What is the egret’s ecosystem?

Organism Interactions: Predation• The number of
predators affects the prey population–More predators,
more risk to prey• The number of prey
affects the predator population–More prey, more
food for predators

Organism Interactions: Competition
• Competition – Organisms within a population must compete for resources– When populations grow, resources are in higher demand– If demand is greater than supply……population must
decrease• Fight and kill each other• Reproduce less

Relationships
• All living things form relationships with other living things
• Symbiotic Relationship – a relationship between organisms of two different species that live together in direct contact
![Page 12: Ecology 2a- Ecology & Living Relationships. Principles of Ecology Ecology – study of relationships between living and nonliving parts of the world Ernst.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032709/56649edb5503460f94bea5aa/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Commensalism
• One organism benefits – The other is not affected– Examples:• Spanish moss on a tree• Barnacles on a whale• Burdock seeds on a passing animal
![Page 13: Ecology 2a- Ecology & Living Relationships. Principles of Ecology Ecology – study of relationships between living and nonliving parts of the world Ernst.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032709/56649edb5503460f94bea5aa/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Mutualism• Both organisms benefit– Acacia tree and ants – tree provides food for the ants and
the ants protect the tree from animals that would eat the leaves
– Lichens: algae and fungus living together. Algae provides food (photosynthesis) and the fungus provides protection and attaches the lichen to the rock or wood where it lives.
- Bacteria living in human intestines: break down nutrients and have a safe environment
![Page 14: Ecology 2a- Ecology & Living Relationships. Principles of Ecology Ecology – study of relationships between living and nonliving parts of the world Ernst.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032709/56649edb5503460f94bea5aa/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Parasitism• One organism benefits,
the other is harmed– Some live within the host
• Tapeworms• Heartworms• Bacteria
– Some feed on the external surface of the host• Ticks• Fleas• Mistletoe
– Most do not kill their host (at least not quickly)
![Page 15: Ecology 2a- Ecology & Living Relationships. Principles of Ecology Ecology – study of relationships between living and nonliving parts of the world Ernst.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032709/56649edb5503460f94bea5aa/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What is this?
• Commensalism, Mutualism, or Parasitism?

Tube Worms and Hydrothermal Vents
![Page 17: Ecology 2a- Ecology & Living Relationships. Principles of Ecology Ecology – study of relationships between living and nonliving parts of the world Ernst.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032709/56649edb5503460f94bea5aa/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Hydrothermal Vent Communities
• Symbiotic Relationship: Bacteria live in Tube worms.
• Worm has no digestive tract, so it relies on bacteria for nutrition.
• Bacteria oxidize hydrogen sulfide that the tube worms supplies to them.
• Both need each other to survive so what type of relationship?– Mutualism
