Part B: VOCABULARY APES Study Guide: Unit 1 The Global Ecosystem This unit will introduce/reacquaint you with some of the concepts fundamental to understanding the ecology of the Textbook reference: Miller, G. Tyler, and Scott Spoolman. Living in the Environment, AP Edition. Belmont, C.A.: Brooks/Cole, Cengage Learning, 2012. Print. Ch 3, 4, 5 Outside Reading: Barron’s AP book Vocabulary: Make sure to title each new Chapter of vocabulary at the TOP of a new page, and number your vocabulary words. ALL VOCAB MUST BE HANDWRITTEN in vocab notebook. MOST of these words are taken from your textbook, and the chapters loosely represent the chapters of your Miller, Living in the Environment Textbook. abiotic producers species richness aerobic respiration pyramid of energy flow theory of evolution anaerobic respiration secondary consumers ammensalism autotrophs tertiary consumers coevolution biomass trophic level commensalism biosphere adaptation/adaptive competition biotic trait environmental carnivores background extinction resistance chemosynthesis biological diversity exponential growth communities biological evolution inertia/persistence consumers differential (of an ecosystem) decomposers reproduction interspecific detritivores ecological niche/niche competition ecology endemic species limiting factor ecosystem fossils mutualism ecotone foundation species parasitism food chain genetic resistance population food web geographic isolation population crash gross primary indicator species population density productivity (GPP) keystone species predator herbivores mass extinction predation heterotrophs mutations predator-prey net primary native species relationship productivity (NPP) natural selection primary ecological omnivores reproductive isolation succession organisms specialist species range of tolerance photosynthesis speciation resilience (of an population species ecosystem) primary consumers species evenness resource partitioning
