Population Dynamics
Inquiry question: What effect can one species have on the other species in a community?
Students:
● investigate and determine relationships between biotic and abiotic factors in an ecosystem, including:
– the impact of abiotic factors
– the impact of biotic factors, including predation, competition and symbiotic relationships
– the ecological niches occupied by species
– predicting consequences for populations in ecosystems due to predation, competition, symbiosis and disease
– measuring populations of organisms using sampling techniques
● explain a recent extinction event (ACSBL024)
