DISTRIBUTION E
• LIMITS
Homeostasis occurs over a range of
conditions which vary geographically
*Homeostasis is the way animals maintain a stable
internal balance in their body. It allows animals to
function in the changing external conditions
surrounding their body.
• Biotic
• Abiotic
Biotic
- factors that are living or once-living organisms in the ecosystem.
- Organisms are affected by herbivores, predators, competitors, parasites, and pathogens
Abiotic
- factors that refer to non-living physical and chemical elements in the ecosystem.
- Moisture, temperature, pH, sunlight, nutrients, etc.
NICHE
- Fundamental Niche
Hypervolume (the environments
a species can live in.
- Realized Niche
The actual environments a species
lives due to biotic factors (competition)
Patterns on Small Scales
Random – Equal chance of being anywhere.
- Uniform distribution of resources
• Mammals tend to have higher population densities than birds of the same size.
Commonness and Rarity
• Rabinowitz devised commonness
classification
based on 3 factors.
• Geographic Range of Species
• Habitat Tolerance
• Rarity II
- Extensive Range, Narrow Habitat Tolerance,
Large Populations
- Passenger Pigeon
• Rarity II
- Restricted Range, Narrow Habitat Tolerance,
Small Populations
- California Condor
