CommModuley Ecology

• A community is a group of species living in close proximity to one another, with the opportunity for interaction. In this Lesson, we'll look at the structure of communities, asking why particular combinations of organisms form communities.

• We’ll also examine the types of interactions that exist among organisms in a community, from competition between consumers for specific resources to the relationship between predators and prey.

• Finally, we’ll study the dynamics of communities over time, from the coevolution of species to the succession of communities that take hold after an ecosystem has been disturbed.
