Document Summary

Scientific study of our home/environment: includes abiotic and biotic factors, interactions between individuals and between individuals and environment. Applies to decrease in our abundance of natural resources (water, arable land, sea ice volume, fisheries, # of species) Ocean acidification, pollution, cause of biodiversity loss. Biotic and abiotic components considered as a whole. Organisms can produce more of the same module. Ramet = genet produced module (not an individual) Subpopulation in habitat patches of a population so they are spatially separated by individuals still move between them. Pattern of growth, development reproduction in a lifetime. Considers maturation age + size, reproduction techniques, average # of offspring, senescence, longevity. Due to intrinsic factors and extrinsic factors reproduction. Asexual and sexual each have own benefits and costs: asexual high population growth but loss of variation, sexual genetic recombination but mating and gamete production requires a lot of energy.
