Ecology is the study of the relationships between organisms and their environment, organized into populations, communities, and ecosystems.
Population attributes differ from individual characteristics, including birth rates, death rates, sex ratios, and age distributions.
Interactions among species can significantly influence community dynamics, including competition, predation, mutualism, and parasitism.
The number of individuals within a specific area, which influences ecological dynamics.
A growth pattern where populations increase rapidly in size when resources are abundant.
A growth pattern that occurs when a population's growth rate decreases as it approaches its carrying capacity.
An interaction where both species benefit, often involving co-evolution.
An interaction where one organism (predator) feeds on another organism (prey), transferring energy across trophic levels.
An interaction where one species benefits and the other is neither helped nor harmed.
