Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line

Eco chapter 18 (part 1)

front 1

What does community structure refer to? (3)

back 1

the composition of species in a community, the relative abundance of each species, and the relationships among the species

front 2

What is an ecotone?

back 2

boundaries made by sharp changes in environmental conditions and species composition over a relatively short distance

front 3

Explain why species richness is often higher at an ecotone than not at an ecotone.

back 3

Some species can move between environments created by ecotones while others can specially adapt to the ecotone environment. Species from neighbouring communities can also sometimes bleed into the ecotone.

front 4

What makes a community interdependent?

back 4

species within the community depend on each other to exist

front 5

What makes a community independent?

back 5

species in the community do not depend on each other to exist

front 6

What is species richness?

back 6

The number of species in a community

front 7

How is relative abundance different from regular abundance?

back 7

Abundance can be explained in absolute terms, but relative abundance is specifically the proportion of individuals in a community represented by each species

front 8

How do rank abundance curves plot species abundance?

back 8

They plot the relative abundance of each species in a community in rank order from the most to least abundant species

front 9

What is species evenness?

back 9

A comparison of the relative abundance of each species in a community.
