  4. Unit 2: Ecology Part I: Introduction

  5. Vocabulary • Ecology: the study of the interactions among living things, and between livings and their surroundings

  6. What is Ecology? • The study of interactions that take place between organisms and their environment.

  7. Interactions • What are they? • How different organisms act on each other. In wetlands, living organisms interact with nonliving parts of the environment. • Fish interact with the water • Snails interact with the grasses • Seagulls interact with snails.

  8. Who Studies Ecology? • Ecologist : A person who studies the interactions between living things (ecology) • Ecologists… • Teach and advise students • Give advice to local, state and federal policy makers • Solve environmental problems • Conduct research outdoors and in laboratories • Help manage natural resources

  9. Ecologist • Average Salary: $50,000 • Education: • 4-year Bachelor degree of Science • Ph. D • Extremely hands-on and is perfect if you like working outdoors

  10. Field Biologist • Works outdoors, collects data from plant surveys, and counts birds • Find ways to protect the environment and prevent species’ extinction

  11. Examine the Interactions

  12. Activity • In 60-seconds, list as many interactions you see in the previous picture.

  13. Vocabulary • Population • Community • Ecosystem • Biome

  14. Population • Population: A group of the same species that lives in one area

  15. Community • Community: A group of different species that live together in one area

  16. Ecosystem • Ecosystem: All the living and nonliving things in an area

  17. Biome • A major regional or global community of organisms, characterized by the climate condition and plant communities that thrive there

  18. What Ecologist Study • Nature on different levels • From small  to large

  19. Levels of Organization • Organism • Population • Community • Ecosystem • Biome

  20. Biomes • Biome: An area that has the same climate and plant communities. • (Examples: Desert, Tundra, etc)

  21. Ecosystem • Ecosystem: All of the organisms and climate, soil, water, rocks, and nonliving things in an area

  22. Community • Community: A group of different species that live together in one area • Alligators, Turtles, birds, fish, and plants

  23. Population • Population:A group of the same species that lives together in one area

  24. Organism • An individual living thing
