FOCUS © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Urry • Cain • Wasserman • Minorsky • Jackson • Reece Lecture Presentations by Kathleen Fitzpatrick and Nicole Tunbridge 40 Population Ecology and the Distribution of Organisms
2.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Overview: Discovering Ecology Ecology is the scientific study of the interactions between organisms and the environment These interactions determine the distribution of organisms and their abundance Modern ecology includes observation and experimentation
3.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. The rediscovery of the nearly extinct harlequin toad in Costa Rica raises many ecological questions What environmental factors limit their geographic distribution? What factors (food, pathogens) affect population size?
4.

Education, Inc. Figure 40.2 Global ecology Landscape ecology Ecosystem ecology Community ecology Population ecology Organismal ecology
6.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Global ecology is concerned with the biosphere, or global ecosystem, which is the sum of all the planet’s ecosystems Global ecology examines the influence of energy and materials on organisms across the biosphere
7.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Figure 40.2a Global ecology
8.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Landscape ecology focuses on the exchanges of energy, materials, and organisms across multiple ecosystems A landscape (or seascape) is a mosaic of connected ecosystems
9.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Figure 40.2b Landscape ecology
10.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Ecosystem ecology emphasizes energy flow and chemical cycling among the various biotic and abiotic components An ecosystem is the community of organisms in an area and the physical factors with which they interact
11.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Figure 40.2c Ecosystem ecology
12.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Community ecology deals with the whole array of interacting species in a community A community is a group of populations of different species in an area
13.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Figure 40.2d Community ecology
14.

Education, Inc. Figure 40.2f Organismal ecology
18.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Concept 40.1: Earth’s climate influences the structure and distribution of terrestrial biomes The long-term prevailing weather conditions in an area constitute its climate Four major abiotic components of climate are temperature, precipitation, sunlight, and wind
19.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Abiotic factors are the nonliving chemical and physical attributes of the environment Biotic factors are the other organisms that make up the living component of the environment Macroclimate consists of patterns on the global, regional, and landscape level
20.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Global Climate Patterns Global climate patterns are determined largely by solar energy and the planet’s movement in space The warming effect of the sun causes temperature variations, which drive evaporation and the circulation of air and water This causes latitudinal variations in climate
21.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Latitudinal variation in sunlight intensity is caused by the curved shape of Earth Sunlight strikes the tropics, regions between 23.5° north and 23.5° south latitude, most directly At higher latitudes, where sunlight strikes Earth at an oblique angle, light is more diffuse
22.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Figure 40.3a Atmosphere Low angle of incoming sunlight Sun overhead at equinoxes Low angle of incoming sunlight Latitudinal variation in sunlight intensity 90°S (South Pole) 0° (Equator) 23.5°S (Tropic of Capricorn) 90°N (North Pole) 23.5°N (Tropic of Cancer)
23.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Global air circulation and precipitation patterns are initiated by intense solar radiation near the equator Warm, wet air rising near the equator creates precipitation in the tropics Dry air descending at 30° north and south latitudes causes desert conditions This pattern of precipitation and drying is repeated at the 60° north and south latitudes and the poles
24.

Education, Inc. Figure 40.3b Global air circulation and precipitation patterns 30°N Northeast trades 66.5°N (Arctic Circle) 30°S 60°S Southeast trades Westerlies 0° 66.5°S (Antarctic Circle) 30°N 60°N Westerlies Ascending moist air releases moisture. 0° Descending dry air absorbs moisture.
25.

Education, Inc. Variation in the speed of Earth’s rotation at different latitudes results in the major wind patterns Trade winds blow east to west in the tropics Westerlies blow west to east in temperate zones
26.

Education, Inc. Regional Effects on Climate Climate is affected by seasonality, large bodies of water, and mountains
29.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Seasonality Seasonal variations of light and temperature increase steadily toward the poles Seasonality at high latitudes is caused by the tilt of Earth’s axis of rotation and its annual passage around the sun Belts of wet and dry air straddling the equator shift throughout the year with the changing angle of the sun Changing wind patterns affect ocean currents
30.

Education, Inc. Figure 40.4 Constant tilt of 23.5° June solstice 30°N December solstice September equinox 60°N 0° (equator) 30°S March equinox
31.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Bodies of Water Oceans, their currents, and large lakes moderate the climate of nearby terrestrial environments The California Current carries cold water southward along western North America The Gulf Stream carries warm water from the equator to the North Atlantic
32.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Figure 40.5 California Current PACIFIC OCEAN Gulf Stream ATLANTIC OCEAN Labrador Current
33.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. During the day, air rises over warm land and draws a cool breeze from the water across the land As the land cools at night, air rises over the warmer water and draws cooler air from land back over the water, which is replaced by warmer air from offshore
34.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Figure 40.6 Mountain range Air flow Ocean Leeward side of mountains
35.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Mountains Rising air releases moisture on the windward side of a peak and creates a “rain shadow” as it absorbs moisture on the leeward side Many deserts are found in the “rain shadow” of mountains
36.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Mountains affect the amount of sunlight reaching an area In the Northern Hemisphere, south-facing slopes receive more sunlight than north-facing slopes Every 1,000-m increase in elevation produces a temperature drop of approximately 6°C
37.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Biomes are major life zones characterized by vegetation type (terrestrial biomes) or physical environment (aquatic biomes) Climate is very important in determining why terrestrial biomes are found in certain areas Climate affects the latitudinal patterns of terrestrial biomes Climate and Terrestrial Biomes

Education, Inc. Natural and human-caused disturbances alter the distribution of biomes A disturbance is an event that changes a community by removing organisms and altering resource availability For example, frequent fires kill woody plants preventing woodlands from establishing
42.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. General Features of Terrestrial Biomes Terrestrial biomes are often named for major physical or climatic factors and for vegetation Terrestrial biomes usually grade into each other, without sharp boundaries The area of intergradation, called an ecotone, may be wide or narrow
43.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Vertical layering is an important feature of terrestrial biomes, and in a forest it might consist of an upper canopy, low-tree layer, shrub understory, ground layer of herbaceous plants, forest floor, and root layer Layering of vegetation provides diverse habitats for animals
44.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Terrestrial biomes can be characterized by distribution, precipitation, temperature, plants, and animals
45.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Tropical forest occurs in equatorial and subequatorial regions Temperature is high year-round (25–29°C) with little seasonal variation In tropical rain forests, rainfall is relatively constant, while in tropical dry forests precipitation is highly seasonal
46.

Education, Inc. Figure 40.9a A tropical rain forest in Costa Rica
47.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Tropical forests are vertically layered, and competition for light is intense Tropical forests are home to millions of animal species, including an estimated 5–30 million still undescribed species of insects, spiders, and other arthropods Rapid human population growth is now destroying many tropical forests
48.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Savanna occurs in equatorial and subequatorial regions Precipitation is seasonal Temperature averages 24–29°C but is more seasonally variable than in the tropics
49.

Education, Inc. Figure 40.9b A savanna in Kenya
50.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Grasses and forbs make up most of the ground cover The dominant plant species are fire-adapted and tolerant of seasonal drought Common inhabitants include insects and mammals such as wildebeests, zebras, lions, and hyenas Fires set by humans may help maintain this biome
51.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc. Deserts occur in bands near 30° north and south of the equator and in the interior of continents Precipitation is low and highly variable, generally less than 30 cm per year Deserts may be hot (>50°C) or cold (–30°C) with seasonal and daily temperature variation
52.

Education, Inc. Figure 40.9c Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Arizona
53.
© 2014 Pearson
Education, Inc.
