Density Dependent or independent Limiting Factors
Disease
Density dependent
What kind of adaptation is a tigers sharp teeth?
Structural
strongly interacting species that have a large impact on their ecosystems relative to their abundance
Keystone Species
Camouflage Animals that can change their appearance to blend in with their environment.
Camouflage
Temperature
Density independent
what kind of adaptation in migration?
Behavioral
Species such as wolves that help maintain the population sizes of prey species, and sometimes even other predators, in an ecosystem.
Keystone Predator
Animals that are active during the cooler night hours and rest during the day
Nocturnal
Competition
density dependent
What kind of adaptation is a snakes venom?
Physiological
Species that, with their growth, are able to change the feature of the habitat where they live.
Keystone Engineer
Animals release moisture (sweat) to help regulate body temperatures when overheated
Sweating
Drought
Density independent
What kind of adaptation is camouflage?
Structural
Plants and other producers that provide food and shelter for keystone species
Keystone Host
Animals dig burrows to escape the intense heat of the day and protect themselves from predators.
Burrowing
Extreme weather (tornado, hurricane, etc.)
Density independent
What kind of adaptation is a penguins blubber?
Physiological
Two or more species that engage in mutually beneficial interactions. A change in one species would impact the other, and change the entire ecosystem.
Keystone Mutualist
Animals that spend most of their time in the trees to avoid predators, find food, and stay safe.
