Blog 2 Ecology Unit Vocabulary

The unit Ecology studies the interactions between organisms and the environment. The diversity of the community is important because this way animals in environment can be balanced with consumers battling with other consumers to survive. An ecologist may examine the behavior of organisms around their environment. Fixed action pattern is a sequence of behavioral traits that the animal get in a habit to and can't change. Immigration and migration are important because if there are too many organisms in the ecosystem then there will be too much competition and many animals may die out. If there too little then the ecosystem may be abandoned because there may be not enough resources.
