Document Summary
Assignment: how to find answers: come up with an important question (will be marked) and find 3 reliable and 3 unreliable websites to investigate the answer. State why the reliable sites are good and why the unreliable sites are bad: site cannot be a journal article, looking for a more general site. Primate community ecology: community: species that occur together in a place and time. Linked by feeding relationships and other interactions: examples: used in a broad variety of ways. Community living on one species of tree. Look at all parasites within a host an1d how that travels between different organisms. Ecotone: regions of rapid replacement of species along a gradient: people talk about it along different scales. Succession: sequential change in community composition subsequent to disturbance. Sometimes fire can be a good thing: there is such a thing as an appropriate fire cycle (before biomass gets too old and dry and may lead to disastrous fires)
