  2. Community (ecology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_(ecology)

    A bear with a salmon. Interspecific interactions such as predation are a key aspect of community ecology.. In ecology, a community is a group or association of populations of two or more different species occupying the same geographical area at the same time, also known as a biocoenosis, biotic community, biological community, ecological community, or life assemblage.

  3. Ecological classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_classification

    Ecological classification or ecological typology is the classification of land or water into geographical units that represent variation in one or more ecological features. . Traditional approaches focus on geology, topography, biogeography, soils, vegetation, climate conditions, living species, habitats, water resources, and sometimes also anthropic factors.

  4. Community - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community

    Community ecology is the branch of ecology that studies interactions between and among species. It considers how such interactions, along with interactions between species and the abiotic environment, affect social structure and species richness, diversity and patterns of abundance. [ 9 ]

  5. Ecosystem diversity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecosystem_diversity

    Ecological diversity can also take into account the variation in the complexity of a biological community, including the number of different niches, the number of and other ecological processes. An example of ecological diversity on a global scale would be the variation in ecosystems, such as deserts , forests , grasslands , wetlands and oceans .

  6. Association (ecology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_(ecology)

    In phytosociology and community ecology an association is a type of ecological community with a predictable species composition and consistent physiognomy (structural appearance) which occurs in a particular habitat type.

  7. Metacommunity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metacommunity

    An ecological metacommunity is a set of interacting communities which are linked by the dispersal of multiple, potentially interacting species. [1] [2] [3] The term is derived from the field of community ecology, which is primarily concerned with patterns of species distribution, abundance and interactions.

  8. Domain (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_(biology)

    Carl Linnaeus made the classification "domain" popular in the famous taxonomy system he created in the middle of the eighteenth century. This system was further improved by the studies of Charles Darwin later on but could not classify bacteria easily, as they have very few observable features to compare to the other domains.

  9. Consumer–resource interactions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer–resource...

    Consumer–resource interactions are the core motif of ecological food chains or food webs, [1] and are an umbrella term for a variety of more specialized types of biological species interactions including prey-predator (see predation), host-parasite (see parasitism), plant-herbivore and victim-exploiter systems.
