What to Focus On

  • Ecology studies biotic and abiotic interactions.
  • The four levels of ecological organisation are organisms, populations, communities and biomes.
  • Population ecology connects ecology with evolution and population genetics.

  • Birth rate and death rate are population-level attributes, not individual-level attributes.
  • Population density is technically called population density and is designated N.
  • Age pyramids show the age structure of a population.

  • Natality means births added to the population.
  • Mortality means deaths in the population.
  • Immigration increases density.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Population size is always just the total number of individuals.

Birth rate and death rate apply to individual organisms in the same way they apply to populations.

Population change depends only on births and deaths; immigration and emigration can be ignored in all cases.

Memory Tips

Levels of ecological organisation

Two types of biological questions

Population attributes versus individual attributes

Population density and when biomass or cover is better
