15
Carrying Capacity : the largest population that an environment can support at any given time
Commensalism : the relationship between two organisms in which one organism benefits and the other is unaffected
Competition : the relationship between two species (or individuals) in which both species (or individuals) attempt to use the same limited resource such that both are negatively affected by the relationship
Density : the number of individuals of the same species that live in a given unit of area
Dispersion : in ecology, the pattern of distribution of organisms in a population
Exponential Growth : logarithmic growth, or growth in which numbers increase by a certain factor in each successive time period
Growth Rate : an expression of the increase in the size of an organism or population over a given period of time
Limiting Resource : a particular natural resource that, when limited, determines the carrying capacity of an ecosystem for a particular species
Mutualism : a relationship between two species in which both species benefit
Niche : the unique position occupied by a species, both in terms of its physical use of its habitat and its function within an ecological community
Parasitism : a relationship between two species in which one species, the parasite, benefits from the other species, the host, and usually harms the host
Population : a group of organisms of the same species that live in a specific geographical area and interbreed
Predation : an interaction between two species in which one species, the predator, feeds on the other species, the prey
Reproductive Potential : the maximum number of offspring that given organism can produce
Symbiosis : a relationship in which two different organisms live in close association with each other
