OBJECTIVES:
1) List the levels of complexity found in the natural world. 2) Contrast the ways in which density-dependent and density independent factors affect population size. 3) Explain growth models, reproductive strategies, survivorship curves, and metapopulations. 4) Describe species interactions and the role of keystone species. 5) Discuss the process of ecological succession. 6) Explain how latitude, time, area, and distance affect the species richness of a community. |
