Interactions that affect all of Earth. question: What is the effect of increased CO2 levels in the atmosphere on Earth's climate?, fungus affecting the American Chestnut trees which is a parasitic relationship: Fungus + ; Chestnut -, population structure including demography: age structure of the population (more when constructing CMap#3), What is the effect of fire on communities in the New Jersey pine barrens? with fire releasing Nitrogen; Phosphorous; Carbon, Interactions among different communities and addresses Energy Flow, an individual interacting with its environment and addresses physiological intrxns, Biotic = Living interactions for example Competiition for food between species, Competiition for food between species in which dominant species gets food: +, the relationship between Organisms and the Environment addresses questions of interest to Medical Professionals because of the health care effects, Approximately 75% of newly emerging infectious diseases are from wildlife or carried by wildlife For Example: Bats may be the "Ebola Virus reservior", at 7 hierarchical levels including organismal, Living and Nonliving, and energy exchanges Question: What is the effect of limited milkweed populations on Monarch butterfly migrations?, of interest to Medical Professionals because of the health care effects for example Approximately 75% of newly emerging infectious diseases are from wildlife, How do camels survive in deserts? possible answer: metabolize stored water, How can rainforests support many different animals and plants, despite the terrestrial soil being very low in available nutrients ? possible answer: Many plants and animals live on the Epiphytes, the midge & Canada Goldenrod question? Which type of symbiotic relationship?, communities defined as interaction between populations of different species
