How Do Ecologists Learn About Ecosystems?
Back to Bio: A Crap-ton of Definitions- Welcome to your Sophomore Year - back to memorization
Admit it, you've all misspelled it - organisms Not to be confused with that-thing-you-lacked-in-high-school - populations
- "Totally Spherical, Dude" - interactions in ecosystems
- Energy Sources - it doesn't just come from CMP
- Energy Movement - it moves through an ecosystem like taco bell. "C'mon, now they're just making up prefixes!" - the biogeochemical cycles Big Fish eat Little Fish - food webs & trophic levels & energy movement
- Diversity - Not just important in your college decision
- The Dirt on Dirt - your 411 on all things earthy (Acronym: Oh, the ABC's in Bed)

Law of ToleranceThe existence, abundance and distribution of a species is determined by whether the levels of physical or chemical factors fall within the range tolerated by that species.
Limiting Factor PrincipleToo much or too little of any abiotic factor can limit or prevent growth of a population, even if all other factors are at optimum levels.http://www.marietta.edu/~biol/102/ecycle.gif

The Land Before Time: Everything is Dead Now- Past, Schmast - what's so great about it anyways?
- Evolution and Genetics - you'll feel like a genius after this. "Microwaves, right? No, wait, I swear it started with 'Micro', right?" - micro/macroevolution Last to be picked for every dodgeball team - natural selection
Cooperation, but aggressive cooperation - coevolution
- I Still Don't Know How to Pronounce Niche - nitch? nesh? quiche?
- Change Is Good - how speciation and extinction lead to biodiversity. "You two behave, or I'll separate you!" - speciation
Just like zombies, some things are better off left dead - extinction
- The fuuuuuuuuture! - has science finally gone too far? probs.

Chapter 6 - Climate & Terrestrial Biodiversity
Weather: A Brief IntroductionClimate: A Brief Introduction
Biomes: Climate and Life on LandDesert Biomes
Grassland, Tundra and Chaparral BiomesForest Biomes
Mountain Biomes
The Local Weatherman & Travel Agent: Biomes
- It's Raining, It's Pouring - this presentation's got me snoring. I'm walking on sunshine - weather
Peer pressure - atmospheric pressure systems
- Long-Term Relationship - climate & you 4EVA <3 Bad Influence - what influences climate Surf's Up! - oceans
It's a gas-tastrophe! - atmosphere gases Candy mountain, Charlie! - topography
- There is no pun for Biome - it's like orange, nothing rhymes with it. A horse with no name - desert biomes "We're not in Kansas anymore, Toto!" - grassland biomes
Make like a tree and leaf - forest biomes Take a hike - mountain biomes
