•
Give an example of a
community:
–
An assemblage of
different populations that
live together in a defined
area
ESSENTIAL
QUESTION:
•
How do communities
interact yet still stay
viable (able to survive)?
COMPETITION
•
In any community, there is
more than one kind of
organism attempting to use
various essential resources
•
When organisms attempt to
use the same limited
ecological resources in the
same place at the same time,
competition occurs
•
Competition can occur both
among members of the same
species, as well as between
members of different species
Right side
Summarize in your own words
COMPETITIVE EXCLUSION
PRINCIPLE
•
Direct competition between different species almost always produces
a winner and a loser—and the losing species dies out
•
Competitive exclusion principle
states that no two species can
occupy exactly the same niche, in exactly the same habitat, at exactly
the same time
•
Instead of competing for resources, species usually divide them

SYMBIOSIS
•
Any relationship in which two species live closely together is called
symbiosis
•
There are three ways in which symbiosis can occur
•
Mutualism
in which both species benefit from the relationship
–
Ex: Clownfish live among the sea anemone’s tentacles and protect the sea
anemone by chasing away would-be attackers
•
Parasitism
in which one organism lives on or inside another organism
and harms it
–
Ex: tapeworms living in the intestines of mammals where they absorb large
amounts of their host’s food
•
Commensalism
in which one organism benefits and the other is
neither helped nor harmed
–
Ex: barnacles attached to the skin of grey whales; barnacle benefits from the
constant movement of water and the food particles in it; the whale is not
harmed but the barnacle is fed
Right side
Mutualism:
Clownfish &
sea anemone
Benefits: Both
Parasitism:
Fleas on dogs
Benefits flea;
harms dog
Commensalism
Barnacles on whales
Benefits barnacles;
doesn’t bother whale

Explore the dynamics of community interactions, including competition and symbiosis, in ecological systems. Learn about mutualism, parasitism, and commensalism as examples of symbiotic relationships within ecosystems. Understand the implications of the competitive exclusion principle and how species coexist in shared habitats.
