1 Community Ecology Chapter 56 1
2 Biological Communities Community Species that occur at any particular locality Characterized by Species richness Number of species present Primary productivity Amount of energy produced Interactions among members govern many ecological and evolutionary processes 2
3 An African savanna community 3
4 Ecological Niche Niche: the total of all the ways an organism uses the resources of its environment Space utilization Food consumption Temperature range Appropriate conditions for mating Requirements for moisture and more 4
5 Ecological Niche Interspecific competition Occurs when two species attempt to use the same resource and there is not enough resource to satisfy both Interference competition Physical interactions over access to resources Exploitative competition Consuming the same resources 5
6 Ecological Niche Fundamental niche Entire niche that a species is capable of using, based on physiological tolerance limits and resource needs Realized niche Actual set of environmental conditions, presence or absence of other species, in which the species can establish a stable population Other causes of niche restriction Predator absence or presence Absence of pollinators Presence of herbivores 6
7 Ecological Niche Copyright The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Chthamalus Chthamalus realized niche Chthamalus fundamental niche High tide Semibalanus Low tide Semibalanus realized niche Semibalanus fundamental niche S.balanoides and C.stellatus competing C.stellatus fundamental and realized niches are identical when S.balanoides is removed. J.H. Connell s classical study of barnacles 7
8 Ecological Niche Principle of competitive exclusion If two species are competing for a limited resource, the species that uses the resource more efficiently will eventually eliminate the other locally G.F. Gause s classic experiment on competitive exclusion using three Paramecium species shows this principle in action 8

13 Number of Individuals Predator Prey Predation Consuming of one organism by another Predation strongly influences prey populations Copyright The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display Didinium Paramecium 800 Didinium Paramecium Days 13
14 Predator Prey Prey populations can have explosions and crashes White-tailed deer in Eastern U.S. Introduction of rats, dogs, cats on islands New Zealand: Stephen Island wren extinct because of a single cat Predation and coevolution Predation provides strong selective pressure on the prey population Features that decrease the probability of capture are strongly favored Coevolution race may ensue 14
15 Copyright The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Predator Prey Plants adapt to predation (herbivory) by evolving b. mechanisms to defend themselves Chemical defenses: secondary compounds Oils, chemicals to attract predators to eat the herbivores, poison milky sap, and others Herbivores coevolve to continue eating the plants a. a: Edward S. Ross. b: Raymond Mendez/Animals Animals 15

Brower Chemical defenses in animals Monarch butterfly caterpillars feed on milkweed and dogbane families Monarchs incorporate cardiac glycosides from the plants for protection from predation Butterflies are eaten by birds, but the Monarch contains the chemical from the milkweed that makes the birds sick 16
17 Predator Prey Poison-dart frogs of the family Dendrobatidae produce toxic alkaloids in the mucus that covers their brightly colored skin 17
18 Defensive coloration Insects and other animals that are poisonous use warning coloration Organisms that lack specific chemical defenses are seldom brightly colored Camouflage or cryptic coloration help nonpoisonous animals blend with their surroundings Camouflaged animals do not usually live together in groups 18
19 Predator Prey Mimicry allows one species to capitalize on defensive strategies of another Resemble distasteful species that exhibit warning coloration Mimic gains an advantage by looking like the distasteful model Batesian mimicry Mimics look like distasteful species Müllerian mimicry Several unrelated but poisonous species come to resemble one another 19

21 Species Interactions Symbiosis 2 or more kinds of organisms interact in more-or-less permanent relationships Potential for coevolution Three major types of symbiosis Commensalism Mutualism Parasitism 21
22 Species Interactions Commensalism benefits one species and is neutral to the other Spanish moss: an epiphyte hangs from trees 22
23 Species Interactions When commensalism may not be commensalism Oxpeckers and grazing animals Oxpeckers eat parasites off of grazers Sometimes pick scabs and drink blood Grazers could be unharmed by the insects the oxpeckers eat 23
24 Species Interactions Mutualism benefits both species Coevolution: flowering plants and insects Ants and acacias Acacias provide hollow thorns and food Ants provide protection from herbivores 24
25 Mutualism Ants of the genus Pseudomyrmex live within the hollow thorns of certain species of acacia trees in Latin America 25
26 Species Interactions Not all ant and acacia relationships are mutualism In Kenya, several species of ants live on acacias One species clips the acacia branches to prevent other ants from living in the tree Clipping branches sterilizes the tree A parasitic relationship 26
27 Species Interactions Parasitism benefits one species at the expense of another External parasites Ectoparasites: feed on exterior surface of an organism Parasitoids: insects that lay eggs on living hosts Wasp, whose larvae feed on the body of the host, killing it 27
28 External parasite: the yellow vines are the flowering plant dodder; it is a parasite that obtains its food from the host plant it grows on 28
29 Species Interactions Internal parasites Endoparasites live inside the host Extreme specialization by the parasite as to which host it invades Structure of the parasite may be simplified because of where it lives in its host Many parasites have complex life cycles involving more than one host 29
30 Species Interactions Dicrocoelium dendriticum is a flatworm that lives in ants as an intermediate host with cattle as its definitive host To go from the ant to a cow, it changes the behavior of the ant Causes the ant to climb to the top of a blade of grass to be eaten with the grass Copyright The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Infected ant 30
31 Species Interactions Ecological processes have interactive effects Predation reduces competition Predators choice depends partly on relative abundance of the prey options Superior competitors may be reduced in number by predation This allows other species to survive when they could have been outcompeted 31
32 Species Interactions Copyright The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. a. b. a: F. Stuart Westmorland/Photo Researchers, Inc. b: Ann Rosenfeld/Animals Animals Starfish eat barnacles, allowing other species to thrive instead of being crowded out by the explosive population of barnacles 32
33 Species Interactions Parasitism may counter competition Parasites may affect sympatric species differently, changing the outcome of interspecific interactions Flour beetles and a competition experiment Without a parasite: T. castaneum is dominant With the parasite: T. confusum is dominant 33
34 Species Interactions Keystone species Species whose effects on the composition of communities are greater than one might expect based on their abundance Sea star predation on barnacles greatly alters the species richness of the marine community Keystone species can manipulate the environment in ways that create new habitats for other species Beavers 34
35 Beavers construct dams and transform flowing streams into ponds, creating new habitats for many plants and animals 35
36 Succession and Disturbance Succession Communities have a tendency to change from simple to complex Primary succession occurs on bare, lifeless substrate Open water Rocks Organisms gradually move into an area and change its nature 36

Year 1 Pioneer Mosses Year 100 Invading Alders Alder Thickets Year 200 Spruce Forest b. c. d. b-d: Tom Bean 37
38 Succession and Disturbance Secondary succession Occurs in areas where an existing community has been disturbed but organisms still remain Field left uncultivated Forest after a fire Succession happens because species alter the habitat and the resources available in ways that favor other species entering the habitat 38
39 Succession and Disturbance Three dynamic concepts in the process Tolerance: early successional species are characterized by r-selected species tolerant of harsh conditions Facilitation: early successional species introduce local changes in the habitat. K-selected species replace r-selected species Inhibition: changes in the habitat caused by one species inhibits the growth of the original species 39
40 Succession and Disturbance Animal species in a community can also change over time Krakatau island Volcanic eruption Fauna changed in synchrony with the vegetation Changes in animals affect plant occurrences; pollination, animal dispersion 40

42 Succession and Disturbance Communities are constantly changing as a result of Climatic changes Species invasions Disturbance events Nonequilibrium models that emphasize change rather than stability are used to study communities and ecosystems 42
43 Succession and Disturbance Intermediate disturbance hypothesis Communities experiencing moderate amounts of disturbance will have higher levels of species richness than communities experiencing either little or great amounts of disturbance Patches of habitat will exist at different successional stages May prevent communities from reaching the final stages of succession 43
44 Succession and Disturbance Disturbance is common, rather than exceptional in many communities Understanding the role that disturbances play in structuring communities is an important area of ecology 44
