5 Habitat vs. Niche HABITAT All organisms have an established habitat. The habitat is the place where a particular species lives and from which it obtains what it needs for survival. EXAMPLE Brook Trout ( PA state game fish. Called brookies ) are native to Eastern North America. Prefer cold, clean, highly oxygenated water (moving water) Stocked in numerous bodies of water in PA.

6 Habitat vs. Niche NICHE The role an organism plays in their habitat is called its niche. A niche, or it s lifestyle, is when the organism is active, how it eats, or when it EXAMPLE Brook trout have a diverse diet and will eat just about anything that fall into the water. Spawning occurs in the fall. A short-lived species, usually less than five years in the wild.

7 PA State Record: 22 -inch, 7-pound brook trout. World Record: 14 lbs. 8 oz.

8 ECOLOGY MAY MR. SCHULLER Objective: Explain the different types of relationships that can exist between organisms.. Activities: 1. Quick notes on Relationships. 2. Directions for the Creature Poster. May work with a partner. No groups! 3. Biology Keystone Exam Information. On the website: If you are interested in reviewing the major concepts of Biology in preparation for the Biology Keystone Exam, try this link: There are podcasts for each of the nine major topics. Also there are practice quizzes you can take to test your knowledge on each of the nine topics. Homework: Creature Posters are Due Tuesday May 7 th.

9 Relationships There are 3 major types of relationships 1. Competition - with others of the same species or other species for resources. Wild Brook trout have to compete with hatchery raised brook trout for resources in the wild. 2. Feeding - all animals are predators to some degree. Herbivores prey on plants. Carnivores prey on other animals. Omnivores prey on both plants and animals. Most ecosystems tend to have a top carnivore or omnivore. Brook trout are preyed on by mink and fish-eating birds. (like osprey)

10 Relationships 3. Symbiotic are when two organisms live in close association with each other. The relationship can be beneficial, harmful or indifferent. Mutualistic - both organisms benefit. Parasitism one organism benefits (the parasite) and one organism is harmed. (the host) Commensalism one organism benefits and the other organism is neither helped nor harmed.
