Energy producer primary secondary consumer consumer E parasites parasites parasites Food chain Photosynthetic food chain Trophic levels respiration decomposition autotroph herbivore predator each trophic level regulates population of its prey parasites (diseases) regulate population of hosts
K N t Population density also changes behavior Rats in 1/4 acre pens all the food & water they need 5,000 150 social behavior destroyed
can also regulate diversity of their community Predators e.g. marine rocky coast intertidal zone
Predators can also regulate diversity A tide pool
dozens of species a diverse community
Starfish prey on mollusks when starfish removed dozens of species a diverse community
Starfish prey on mollusks when starfish removed mussels overgrow everything many species wiped out Starfish are keystone predators They promote species diversity
