Ecological Interactions

The study of the ecological interactions between living beings and their physical environment, including humans, is ecology. It aims to understand the crucial links between plants and animals and the world around them. Ecology also gives knowledge on the advantages of ecosystems and how we may use Earth resources to ensure that future generations have a healthy environment.

Describe the predation strategy (i.e., actively searching or ambush) of zebrafish under a well-lit environment.
Since 1972, Dr. Jim Estes had been studying a food chain of kelp -> urchins -> sea otters, and then in the early 1990s orcas began eating the sea otters. The data collected by Dr. Estes are shown. Panel A shows sea otter abundance around four different islands from 1972 to 1997. Panel B shows the amount of sea urchins (sea urchin biomass) in 1987 and 1997. Panel C shows the amount of kelp that sea urchins ate over a 24- hour period (grazing intensity) in 1991 and 1997. Panel D shows the number of kelp plants within a specific area (density of kelp) in 1987 and 1997. The thickness of the arrows illustrates the strength of the effect one species has on the species below it in the food web. Sea otter abundance -Amchitka L N. Adak I. Kagalaska i. L Riskal.

Which of the following is NOT an assumption of the basic Lotka-Volterra model of predatory-prey dynamics? Prey are the primary food source for the predators There is no immigration or emigration of predators or prey All prey in the population are accessible to predators, e.g. there are no prey refuges Prey population growth can be limited by food and other resources Predators are the main cause of mortality for the prey
The yellow perch is a fish found in freshwater lakes. It is a generalist predator, consuming a variety of prey species, including crayfish, small fish, insect larvae and snails. You examine the predation rate of yellow perch on snails, and obtain the following data. Identify the type of functional response, and a plausible reason for why it has that type of response. 60- 40- 20- Perch Predation Rate
If the rate of some process is governed by the abundance of prey individuals, we say that it is prey-dependent. Give some examples of prey-dependent processes.
