Community Ecology: Interspecies Interactions: Crash Course Biology #6

12th - Higher Ed
Community ecology is the study of interactions between different species of living things, and lets ecologists examine the effects of predator-prey relationships, parasites, and mutually beneficial interactions. In this episode of Crash...

Community Ecology: Feel the Love - Crash Course Ecology

12th - Higher Ed
Interactions between species are what define ecological communities, and community ecology studies these interactions anywhere they take place. Although interspecies interactions are mostly competitive, competition is pretty dangerous,...

Community Ecology and Landscape Ecology

9th - Higher Ed
With a better understanding of population ecology, we are ready to zoom out and look at community ecology, which involves interactions between species, as well as landscape ecology, which will broaden our understanding of ecosystems. How...

Scales of Ecology Part 2: Communities

9th - Higher Ed
Moving on from organisms and populations, the next tier on the scales of ecology is communities. These involve all the populations of organisms of different species that live in an area. How do they interact? How is the community...
