(38 cards)

Obligate parasite

Front

needs a host to survive

Back

Predation succes steps

Front

search, recognition, capture, handling

Back

Optimal foraging theory

Front

organisms attain maximum possible energy return depending on foraging conditions (constrained by time or energy)

Back

Parasitism interaction

Front

Species a-Benefits; Species b-Suffers

Back

Predation interaction

Front

Species a-Benefits; Species b-Suffers

Back

Commensalism interaction

Front

Species a-Benefits; Species b-No effect

Back

Heterxenous parasite

Front

infects many different types of hosts

Back

Temporary parasite

Front

acts as parasite at some points; ticks

Back

competitive exclusion principle

Front

two species can not coexist indefinitely on the same limiting resource

Back

Batesian mimicry

Front

palatable prey mimic unpalatable prey or mimic predator

Back

Contest competition

Front

Small fraction of population successfully obtain resource

Back

Exploitation

Front

one species reduces the amount or availability of the limiting resource

Back

Effects of competition

Front

growth, fecundity, biomass

Back

Renewable resources

Front

Constantly regenerated (via birth or growth)

Back

Predation

Front

the consumption of one organism (living) by another

Back

Mutualism interaction

Front

Species a-Benefits; Species b-Benefits

Back

Evolutionary arms race

Front

the series of escalating adaptations and counteradaptations evolving in the predator and prey (intensity of selection isn't symmetrical- one will be favoured over other each time period)

Back

Competition

Front

Density-dependent population regulation

Back

Nonrenewable resource

Front

Once used, gone (fossil fuels)

Back

Facultative parasite

Front

an get food from live or dead host.

Back

Mechanisms of competition

Front

stress, dispersal, social interactions

Back

Intraspecific competition

Front

Competition between individuals of the same species

Back

Mullerian mimicry

Front

unpalatable species mimic each other

Back

Monoxenous parasite

Front

only infects one type of host

Back

Precocial offspring

Front

young that are almost immediately independent after being birthed

Back

Crepuscular

Front

active at dawn and dusk

Back

Scramble Competition

Front

High density of individuals competing for limited resource (each individ. leaves with small fraction)

Back

Exploitative interactions

Front

one species benefits from exploiting another as a food source

Back

Exploitative Competition

Front

One individual reduces the amount of availability of the limiting resource (SPECIES COMPETING MAY NEVER ENCOUNTER EACH OTHER)

Back

Resource

Front

Any substance or factor that is consumed

Back

Niche

Front

relational position between species and ecosystem (i.e. how a population responds to resources and enemies and how it affects those factors)

Back

Indirect effect of competition

Front

impact of one species on another requires (at least) a third species

Back

Altricial offspring

Front

young that are totally helpless after being birthed

Back

Crypticity (prey adaptation)

Front

color matching, outline break-up, countershading

Back

"Not altered by use" resources

Front

Space ("Renewed when consumer leaves")

Back

Direct effect of competition

Front

physical interaction between two species

Back

Competition interaction

Front

Species a- Suffers; Species b-Suffers

Back

Agressive mimicry

Front

predators use mimcry (pheromones, looks) to lure prey

Back
