Adapting to the Environment

• Every organism has a

variety of adaptations that

are suited to its specific

living conditions.

Interactions Among Living Things

Predator - Prey Interactions • On Isle Royale, an

island in Lake

Superior, the

populations of

wolves (the

predator) and moose

(the prey) rise and

fall in cycles.

Interactions Among Living Things

Predator - Prey Interactions

–Year; numbers of

wolves and moose

• Reading Graphs:

– What variable is

plotted on the x-axis?

What two variables

are plotted on the y-

axis?

Interactions Among Living Things

Predator - Prey Interactions

–The moose population

increased and then

decreased; the wolf

population increased.

• Interpreting Data: – How did the moose

population change between 1965 and 1972? What happened to the wolf population from 1973 through 1976?

Interactions Among Living Things

Predator - Prey Interactions

–As the moose

population increased,

more food was available

to the wolf population and

it increased.

• Inferring:

– How might the change in the moose population have led to the change in the wolf population?

Interactions Among Living Things

Predator - Prey Interactions

–The wolf population increased.

• Drawing Conclusions:

– What is one likely cause of the dip in the moose population between 1974 and 1981?

Interactions Among Living Things

Predator - Prey Interactions

–Disease would cause a decrease in the wolf population, so fewer moose would be eaten and the population could increase.

• Predicting:

– How might a disease in the wolf population one year affect the moose population the next year?

Interactions Among Living Things

What You Know

What You Learned

Review

1. Organisms interact in different ways.

1. Organisms are adapted to their environments. 2. Organisms have niches, which are their roles in their habitats. 3. Organisms compete for resources. Some organisms eat

others, and this affects the size of populations. 4. Some organisms live together in symbiotic relationships, of

which there is mutualism (both benefit), commensalism (one benefits, the other is not helped or harmed), and parasitism (one benefits, the other is harmed).

population density–the number of individuals in

a specific area.

There are four main ways to determine the size of a population.

Count each

individual

Count signs

(ie. nests)

Count a small

math

calculations to

Changes in Population Size

• Populations can

change in size

when new

members join

the population or

when members

leave the

population.

Studying Populations

Question Answer

How do you determine

population size?

Some methods of determining population

size are direct observation, indirect

observation, sampling, and mark-and-

recapture studies.

What causes populations to

change in size?

Some factors include birth, death,

immigration, and emigration.

What are limiting factors? These are factors that can limit population

growth if they are unfavorable for the

organisms in the population. Food and

water, space, and weather conditions can

be limiting factors.
