Front 1

Ecology

Back 1

the scientific study between organisms and their environment

Front 2

evolutionary time vs. ecological time

Back 2

ecological time is measured in minutes, months and years.
evolutionary time is measured in decades, centuries, millenia, and longer.

Front 3

organismal ecology

Back 3

is concearned with the morphological, physiological, and behavioral ways in which individual organisms meet the challenges posed by bothe their biotic and abiotic environments

Front 4

population

Back 4

all the members of species in a given area that makes up a breeding group

Front 5

population ecology

Back 5

concentrates on factors that determine how many individuals of a particular species live in an area

Front 6

community

Back 6

all the populations in a given area

Front 7

community ecology

Back 7

deals with various species liviving in an area (not just one species like _____ ecology)

Front 8

Ecosystem

Front 16

biogeography

Back 16

study of past and present DISTRIBUTION of individual species

Front 17

major abiotic factors of the atmosphere

Back 17

Temperature, Water, Sunlight, Wind,(these first 4 have to do with climate) Rock and Soil, Periodic disturbances (fires, tornadoes, etc.)(the second two have to do with the weather conditions at a particular location)

Front 18

biome

Back 18

broad geographic region with characteristic plant and animal life

Front 19

Back 19

get ready, refer back to the packet to make sure you can label the picture

Front 20

Oceanic pelagic

Back 20

low nutrients, open blue water, deep OCEAN

Front 21

abyssal zones

Back 21

low light, high nutrients, not inhabited by much life. bottom of the ocean OCEAN

intertidal zones

Back 22

periodically submerged and exposed by tides(on the shore part of the picture), rocky, sandy, high oxygen levels OCEAN

Front 23

coral reefs

Back 23

formed by calcium carbonate skeletons of coral, high oxygen levels OCEAN

Front 24

wetlands

Back 24

FRESHWATER develop in shallow basins, nutrient rich, support aquatic plants

Front 25

rivers and streams

Back 25

FRESHWATER silty bottoms, currents, more sediment

Front 26

lakes and ponds

Back 26

FRESHWATER different types, standing bodies of water

transitions between rivers and seas

Front 28

look at lake stratification? and seasonal turnover
