(10 cards)

Interference competition

Front

individuals interact directly with one another by physical force or intimidation

Back

Exploitation competition

Front

individual is affected by amount of resources that remains after it has been exploited by the other neighboring individuals; occurs ONLY when resources are limited

Back

niche partitioning

Front

When two species naturally divide different resources based on competitive advantages; ex: one squirrel eats from the ground and one squirrel eats from the top of trees

Back

role of disturbance for maintaining species richness

Front

Revenge of wimps: species that cannot out compete just grow in areas that no other species will

Back

Gause's competitive exclusion principle

Front

If two species have the same niche they cannot remain for long in the same habitat. One will lose out and be eliminated (or at least reduced to a very small population.)

Back

interspecific competition

Front

Species competing against another species

Back

intraspecific competition consequences

Front

leads to density-dependent birth and death rates; the effects of intraspecific competition on any individual is greater the more competitors there are

Back

character displacement

Front

Species evolve non-overlapping traits to avoid competition

Back

intraspecific competition

Front

competition between members of the same species

Back

interspecific competition consequences

Front

competition between individuals of different species, but birth and death rates of one species vary with the population density of the other species, and vice versa
