ECOLOGY Ecology is concerned with the study of organisms and their habitats. This includes the interdependence of various populations‚ their impact on each other and their surroundings‚ the effect of the surroundings on their behaviour‚ as well as the ways in which the organisms and the environment change in response to each other. A pond and its inhabitants provide a good example of these interrelationships. A pond contains: a. soil consisting of rock‚ minerals and dead remains of organisms b. water

Elk (Wapiti) Preferred Habitat: The most productive habitat for elk is aspen. Aspen areas can contain and support large numbers of elk. Some other preferred habitats are oakbrush‚ mountain shrub‚ conifer‚ spruce fir‚ and ponderosa pine. Oakbrush can provide coverage and food for the elk. Most of these habitats provide coverage‚forage‚ and security for elk. Place in the food web: Below is a picture of a food web of animals in Yellowstone National Park.

My test species the Phrynosoma Hernandesi‚ is an animal that is relatively a small and slow‚ making it an easy target for predation. Due their physical nature‚ P. Hernandesi relies heavily on camouflage to survive (James 2007). Thus hue similarity between the P. Hernandesi and its habitat will increase its chances of survival

But deforestation has a negative impact on the environment‚ and the loss of habitat for millions of species is a very dramatic one. According to the World Wildlife Fund Organization‚ forests are home to 80% of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity‚ and the majority of these species cannot survive the destruction of their homes.
