Chapter 6 (141-170)
Chapter 7 (180-185)

Goals: Community Ecology

 * Compare and contrast the major types of species interactions (competition, predation, symbiosis)
 * Characterize feeding relationships and energy flow, using them to construct trophic levels
 * Understand and apply the 10% Rule
 * Distinguish characteristics of a keystone species
 * Characterize the process of succession and the debate over the nature of communities
 * Perceive and predict the potential impacts of invasive species in communities
 * Explain the goals and methods of ecological restoration
 * Describe and illustrate the biomes of the world

Goals: Ecosystem Ecology

 * Describe the nature of environmental systems
 * Define ecosystems and evaluate how living and nonliving entities interact in ecosystem-level ecology
 * Outline the fundamentals of landscape ecology
