Environmental Science Midterm-Module 6

A group of living organisms with similar individual capabilities of exchanging genes or interbreeding

A state of having diversity or variety

The number of different species in a particular area,

The abundance of individual members of a particular species.

The specific ecological role of species.

A place or type of ecosystem where species live and obtain needs for survival.

• Species that have a broad way of life
• Can eat different food
• Tolerate different environmental changes/challenges. 

• Species with narrow niche
• Lives in specific habitat
• Eat special food.
• Vulnerable to extinction. 

TYPES OF SPECIES: Species that live in one place and nowhere else.

TYPES OF SPECIES: Species that are invasive or alien. They deliberately or accidentally migrate to new ecosystems.

TYPES OF SPECIES: Species that give early warning to environmental changes in a community

Reduction of species to such low abundance that although still exists it no longer interacts with other species.

Compose of all members belonging to similar species living in the same area.

Population of all different species/organisms that live in the same area.

Characteristics of Population: The spread of population is even.

Characteristics of Population: The spread of population is unpredictable and strange.

The number of individuals in a population per unit area.

TYPES OF SPECIES INTERACTION: Type of relationship where both organisms benefit from each other.

TYPES OF SPECIES INTERACTION: One organism benefit and the other is unharmed or not affected.

TYPES OF SPECIES INTERACTION: One organism benefit and the other is harmed in the process.

TYPES OF SPECIES INTERACTION: Type of relationship where each organism occupies same space but no interaction or effect on each other.

TYPES OF SPECIES INTERACTION: Predators hunt and eat prey for food.

TYPES OF SPECIES INTERACTION: Groups of organisms occupy the same space and compete for resources such as food, water, and shelter.
