Study Notes

Understanding Biological Communities

A biological community refers to a group of different species that coexist and interact with each other in a specific environment.

Key Properties of a Community

Collective properties: characteristics that can be observed when individual organisms are grouped together, such as population density and species richness.
Emergent properties: unique characteristics that arise from the interactions among individual organisms, such as resource competition and predator-prey relationships.

Species Diversity in a Community

Species diversity represents the variety of different species present in a community, including the number of species, their relative abundance, and their distribution.

First Steps in Community Analysis

The first job when given a designated community is to identify and inventory the species present, including their abundance and distribution.

Individuals in Nature

Individuals are rarely found alone in nature, as they often exist as part of a larger community, interacting with other organisms and their environment.
