• Predation is an interaction in which one organism
(the predator) captures and eats all or part of another
individual organism (the prey).

prey, whereas prey species have adaptations to
avoid capture.

host).

Objectives
• Describe the factors that affect species richness in a
community.

• Distinguish between types of succession, and
explain why succession may not be predictable.

Species Richness
• Species richness is the number of species in a
community.
• Species evenness is the relative abundance of each
species.

Species Richness, continued
• Latitude and Species Richness
– In general, species richness is greatest near the
equator, and larger areas support more species.

• Species Interactions and Species Richness
– Species interactions such as predation can
promote species richness.

• Community Stability and Species Richness
– Disturbances can alter a community by
eliminating or removing organisms or altering
resource availability.
– Species richness may improve a community’s
stability.
– Areas of low species richness may be less stable
in the event of an ecological disturbance.

composition of a community over time.

Successional Changes in Communities,

• Primary Succession
– Primary succession is the assembly of a
community on newly created habitat.
– Primary succession occurs in areas that have
been recently exposed to the elements and lack
soil.

• Secondary Succession
– Secondary succession is the change in an
existing community following a disturbance.
– Secondary succession occurs in areas where the
original ecosystem has been cleared by a
disturbance.

Chapter 20
The Complexity of Succession
• The traditional description of succession is that the
community proceeds through a predictable series of
stages until it reaches a stable end point, called the
climax community.
• Primary succession typically proceeds from lichens
and mosses to a climax community.
• Secondary succession typically proceeds from weeds
to a climax community.

Multiple Choice
1. A certain tropical tree has a fruit that is eaten by only

excretes the wastes of the fruit, it drops seeds in new
locations. Which of the following is the correct term
for the relationship between the bat and the tree?
A. predation
B. mutualism

Explain the role of these adaptations in an
ecological community.
Answer: Secondary compounds are defensive
chemicals synthesized by plants to prevent
plants from being eaten. Strychnine and nicotine
are two examples.

Extended Response
Base your answers to parts A & B on the
information below.
The gradual, sequential change in species in an
area is called ecological succession.
Part A Describe the stages of primary succession.
Part B Compare primary succession and secondary
succession.

Resources

Chapter 20
Extended Response, continued
Answer:
Part A Primary succession starts with the exposure of bare
land. Lichens colonize the rock. Decaying lichens as well
as minerals from the rock lead to soil formation. Soil leads
to colonization by pioneer species, such as moss and
weeds. Large plants, such as shrubs and trees, replace
pioneer species. Various trees become dominant, and
succession ends with a mature forest.
Part B Primary succession occurs when bare rock is
exposed by geological events, such as island formation or
glacier retreat. Secondary succession occurs after a
disturbance clears away an existing community, but the
soil remains intact.
