1 Community Ecology Chapter 56 1
2 Biological Communities In communities, species respond independently to changing environmental conditions Community composition changes gradually across landscapes 2
3 Number of Trees per Hectare Copyright The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display Wet Moisture Gradient Dry Abundance of tree species along a moisture gradient in the Santa Catalina Mountains of Southeastern Arizona Each line represents the abundance of a different tree species Community composition changes continually along the gradient 3
4 Species of Plant Biological Communities Copyright The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Sometimes the abundance of species in a community does change geographically in a synchronous pattern Ecotones: places where the environment changes abruptly Normal soil Ecotone Serpentine soil Black oak Poison oak Iris Douglas fir Hawkweed California fescue Snakeroot Canyon live oak Collomia Ragwort Yarrow Buck brush Small fescue Fireweed Knotweed Distance Along Transect (m) 4
5 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 5
6 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 6
7 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 7
8 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 8
9 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 9

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 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
16 Copyright The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. a. b. a-b: Lincoln P. 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
20 Copyright The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Battus philenor Papilio glaucus a. Batesian mimicry: Pipevine swallowtail butterfly (Battus philenor) is poisonous; Tiger swallowtail (Papilio glaucus) is a palatable mimic. Heliconius erato Heliconius melpomene Heliconius sapho Heliconius cydno b. Müllerian mimicry: Two pairs of mimics; all are distasteful. Mimicry 20
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 Mutualism benefits both species Coevolution: flowering plants and insects Ants and acacias Acacias provide hollow thorns and food Ants provide protection from herbivores 23
24 Mutualism Ants of the genus Pseudomyrmex live within the hollow thorns of certain species of acacia trees in Latin America 24
25 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 25
26 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 26
27 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 27
28 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 28
29 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 29
30 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 30
31 Beavers construct dams and transform flowing streams into ponds, creating new habitats for many plants and animals 31
32 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 32
33 Nitrogen Concentration (g/m 2 of surface) Copyright The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display b c Nitrogen in forest floor Nitrogen in mineral soil a. Year 1 Pioneer Mosses Year 100 Invading Alders Alder Thickets Year 200 Spruce Forest b. c. d. b-d: Tom Bean 33
34 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 34
35 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 35
