生態學 Ecology 關永才 (介紹環境及個體生態) 林良恭 (族群生態及種間互動 4/1) 孫義方 (群聚生態及生態系 5/13)
Overview of Ecology • Ecology: Study of relationships between organisms and the environment. • Simple definition does not convey the extreme breadth of this discipline.
Organisms interact with the environment in the context of the ecosystem Biotic factors Abiotic factors
Ecologists use scientific methods • Ecology: Study of relationships between organisms and the environment. • Wide variety of approaches. • Large temporal and spatial scales. • Field • Lab • Observational • Manipulative
實驗性研究分兩類: • 相關性分析(Correlation analysis) • 操縱性實驗(Manipulative experiment)
相關性分析(Correlation analysis) • 研究兩個或更多變數(variables)的相關性 • 例: 期中考成績和溫習功課時間的關係 • 例: 期中考成績和吃零食多寡的關係
期中考成績和溫習功課時間的關係 。 。 。 。 成績 。 。 。 。 溫習功課時間 (小時)
期中考成績和吃零食多寡的關係 。 。 。 。 成績 。 。 。 。 吃零食量 (包)
相關 不一定等於 因果 !!!!!! 相關 不一定等於 因果 !!!!!!
操縱性實驗(Manipulative experiment) • 設控制組及實驗組 • 儘量維持兩組的條件相同,只留下一個可改變的條件
Ecology of Bumblebees • Bumblebees live in many cool regions. • Heinrich estimated energy budget of individuals foraging on different flowers and under different temperatures. • Energy Gain / Loss • Energy Intake - Energy Expenditure.
個案2: Ecology of Forest Birds Robert H. MacArthur
Ecology of Forest Birds • MacArthur studied ecology of five species of warblers in spruce forests in N.A. • Theory predicted two species with identical ecological requirements could not coexist indefinitely.
Forest Nutrient Budgets • Likens and Bormann estimated 90% of nutrients in a New Hampshire forest were locked up in soil organic matter. • Approximately 9.5 % was tied up in vegetation. • Streamflow output amounted to < 1%.
個案4:Vegetation Change: Pollen Records • Many environmental changes occur over large spatial or temporal scales. • Davis monitored plant pollen deposited in lake sediments in the Appalachian Mtns. • Documented large temporal changes to nearby plant communities.
