Warm Up Shown here is some lichen on a rock . . • A. What is lichen? • B. What type of biotic interaction would it be classified as? Why? • C. What role does it serve in ecological succession? Once you’ve answered the questions above, sign up for a biome to do your homework on – the sign up is on the front board on the clipboard

Niche vs. habitat Habitat the address Niche the role
Biotic Interactions Competition & the Competitive Exclusion Principle
Biotic Interactions Predation (+/-)
Symbiotic Biotic Interactions Mutualism (+/+)ant/catepillar Commensalism (+/0) Parasitism (+/-) (how’s this different from predation?)
Succession • Orderly change over time of natural species replacement in a community or ecosystem
Succession communities: 3. Climax community 2. Intermediate species • Pioneer • species
Pioneer species: • Lichens (algae & fungi) break apart rock to make soil • Grasses • Annual flowers • Mosses
Climax Community: final set of organisms suited to that climate
Primary 1st time plants or animals are established New island Volcanoes Glaciers Bare soil, rock Secondary After a “blowout” Re-establish a community Already had living organisms Fire, flood, human disruption Types of Succession
BOTH PRIMARY & SECONDARY have these Succession communities: 3. Climax community 2. Intermediate species • Pioneer • species
