  1. Introduction to Ecology

  2. What is Ecology? To answer this question, look carefully at the pictures in the following slide:

  3. Now, what is Ecology? Ecology is the study of how organisms interact with each other and with the environment.

  4. What is the main difference between groups A and B?

  5. What is the main difference between groups A and B? NON LIVING LIVING

  6. What is the main difference between groups A and B? NON LIVING LIVING ABIOTIC BIOTIC

  7. Biotic vs Abiotic Factors Biotic Factor: - A living part of an environment • An interaction between organisms in an environment • Example: animal, plant, human… Abiotic Factor: • A nonliving part of an environment • Example: rock, sky, temperature, rainfall, soil, sunlight…

  8. Video Recap Watch this video (What is Ecology? • Define ecology. • Give four examples of living things (biotic factors). • Give four examples of non-living things (abiotic factors). • Provide an example of an interaction between two living things. • Provide an example of an interaction between a living thing and a non-living thing.

  9. What are the levels of organization in an environment?

  10. What are the levels of organization in an environment?

  11. 1. Individual - One living thing; one biotic factor

  12. 2. Population • A group of individuals of the same speciesthat live in the same place at the same time. - Species: Organisms that are closely related and can mate to produce fertile offspring.

  13. Population: Yes or No? A. Ten elephants living in Africa and ten elephants living in the U.S.

  14. Population: Yes or No? A. Ten elephants living in Africa and ten elephants living in the U.S.

  15. Population: Yes or No? B. Ten elephants living in Africa and ten giraffes living in Africa.

  16. Population: Yes or No? B. Ten elephants living in Africa and ten giraffes living in Africa.

  17. Population: Yes or No? C. Ten elephants living in Africa in 2010 and ten elephants living in Africa in 2020.

  18. Population: Yes or No? C. Ten elephants living in Africa in 2010 and ten elephants living in Africa in 2020.

  19. Population: Yes or No? D. Ten elephants living in Africa.

  20. Population: Yes or No? D. Ten elephants living in Africa.

  21. 3. Community - All the populations that live and interact in an area.

  22. Community: Yes or No? A. Ten elephants living in Africa and ten elephants living in the U.S.

  23. Community: Yes or No? A. Ten elephants living in Africa and ten elephants living in the U.S.

  24. Community: Yes or No? B. Ten elephants living in Africa eating with ten giraffes living in Africa.

  25. Community: Yes or No? B. Ten elephants living in Africa eating with ten giraffes living in Africa.

  26. Community: Yes or No? C. Ten elephants living in Africa in 2010 and ten elephants living in Africa in 2020.

  27. Community: Yes or No? C. Ten elephants living in Africa in 2010 and ten elephants living in Africa in 2020.

  28. Community: Yes or No? D. Ten elephants living in Africa.

  29. Community: Yes or No? D. Ten elephants living in Africa.

  30. 4. Ecosystem - A community of organisms and their nonliving (abiotic) environment.

  31. 5. Biome • Large regions characterized by their climate and communities. • It can contain many ecosystems. • Climate: The usual weather of a certain region. It includes temperature and rainfall.

  32. 6. Biosphere - The Earth.

  33. Where do you live? HABITAT

  34. What is your role in your environment? NICHE

  35. Video Recap Watch this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_wSPbW-dFE) then answer the following questions: • What is the difference between habitat and niche? • Identify the habitat and niche of a tiger. • Identify the habitat and niche of a house mouse.
