Growth rate = unlimited rate – selfcrowding effects – detrimental effects of
the other species

2 Coevolution
Coevolution is a type of community evolution.
Coevolution is the joint evolution of two or more
noninterbreeding species that have a close
ecological relationship, such as plants and
herbivores, large organisms and their
microorganism symbionts, or parasites and their
hosts.
 Through reciprocal selective pressures, the evolution
of one species in the relationship depends in part on
the evolution of the other.

3 Evolution and Cooperation:
Group Selection
 group selection, is defined as natural
selection between groups or assemblages
of organisms that are not necessarily
closely liked by mutualistic associations.
Group selection leads to the maintenance
of traits favorable to groups that may be
selectively disadvantageous to genetic
carriers within populations.

4 Interspecific Competition
and Coexistence
Interspecific competition
Interference competition
Exploitation competition
Competitive exclusion principle
Gause principle

The logistic equation
dNi/dt = riNi (1-Ni/Ki)
dNi/dt = riNi (1-Ni/Ki - aijNj/Ki)
dNj/dt = rjNj (1-Nj/Kj - ajiNi/Kj)
at equilibrium
(Ki - Ni - aijNj) / Ki = 0
(Kj - Nj - ajiNi) / Kj = 0

Fig. 7-5. the effect of competition on habitat distribution.
When intraspecific competition dominates, the species
spreads out and occupies less favorable areas,
Where interspecific competition is intense, the species
tends to be restricted to a narrower range, representing
the optimum conditions.

5 Positive/Negative Interactions:
Predation, Herbivory, Parasitism,
and Alleopathy
Predation and parasitism
Hervivory
Alleopathy
chap. 7. community ecology
23
Examples
Deer populations are often cited as
examples of populations that tend to irrupt
when predator pressure is reduced.
The most violent irruptions occur when a
species is introduced into a new area.
Negative interactions become less
negative with time if the ecosystem is
sufficiently stable and spatially diverse to
allow reciprocal adaptations.

Biodiversity and stability
The relationship between species diversity
and stability is complex.
A positive relationship may be secondary and
not causal, in that stable ecosystems promote
high diversity but not necessarily the other
way around.
Species is very much influenced by the
functional relationships between trophic levels.
• Moderate predation may increase diversity.
chap. 7. community ecology
50
Pattern diversity
Stratification patterns (vertical layering)
Zonation patterns (horizontal segregation)
Activity patterns (periodicity)
Food web patterns (network organization)
Reproductive patterns (parent-offspring)
Social patterns (flocks and herds)
Coactive patterns (resulting from competition,
antibiosis, or mutualism)
Stochastic patterns (resulting from random
forces)
chap. 7. community ecology
51
Biodiversity and productivity
In low-nutrient natural environments, an
increase in biodiversity seems to enhance
productivity.
In high-nutrient or enriched environments, an
increase in productivity increases dominance
and reduces diversity.
Hypothesis
Diversity-productivity hypothesis
Diversity-stability hypothesis

9 Paleoecology: Community
Structure in Past Ages
Paleoecology, is the study of the
relationships of ancient flora and fauna to
their environment.
The basic assumptions
The operation of ecological principles has
been essentially the same throughout various
geological periods
The ecology of fossils may be inferred from
what is known about equivalent or related
species now living
