If a scientist in New Zealand was studying how a group of herbivores interacted with a group of omnivores, and all of their abiotic surroundings, what level of ecology would she be studying?
Community
Population
Species
Ecosystem
Biome
Ruby-throated hummingbirds live in woodland areas, but also frequent gardens where flowering plants are plentiful. They hover to feed on flowers, nectar, and sap. During this floral feeding process, the birds pollinate many plants. These tiny birds are omnivores, sometimes feeding on insects and spiders.

photosynthesis
Sun

Why are autotrophs so crucial to an ecosystem?

this type of evolution happens on a small scale, typically within a single population
microevolution
macroevolution
natural selection
artificial selection
large-scale evolutionary change that takes place over long periods of time
microevolution
macroevolution
body parts in different organisms that have the same basic structure, but may have different functions
analagous structures
homologous structures
vestigal structures
body parts in organisms that have the same functions, but have different structures
analagous structures
homologous structures
vestigal structures
body parts found in living organisms that no longer serve a purpose (not necessary for the organisms survival)
analagous structures
homologous structures
vestigal structures
selective pressure exerted by humans on populations in order to improve or modify particular desirable traits
natural selection
artificial selection
the process by which characteristics of population change over many generations as organisms with heritable traits survive and reproduce, passing their traits to offspring
natural selection
artificial selection
a change in a population or species over time
