• secondary consumers and higher
   
  

1. Interspecific Interactions Within Communities:
    
   
   1. competition
       
      
      • effects of competition
         
        
      • competitive exclusion
         
        
      • ecological niche
         
        
      • resource partitioning
         
        
      • character displacement
         
        
   2. predation
       
      
      • herbivory
         
        
      • parasitism
         
        
      • aposematic coloration
         
        
      • mimicry
         
        
      • Batesian mimicry
         
        
      • Mullerian mimicry
         
        
      • adaptive coloration
         
        
   3. mutualism
       
      
   4. commensalism
       
      
2. Controls on Community Structure:
    
   species diversity:
    
   
   • species richness
      
     
   • relative abundance
      
     
   trophic structure
    
   dominant species
    
   keystone species
    
   foundation species
    
   
3. Community structure over time:
    
   disturbance
    
   succession
    
   primary succession
    
   secondary succession
    
   intermediate disturbance hypothesis
    
   
4. Biogeography and community structure:
    
   lattitude effects
    
   area effects
    
   island biogeography species equilibrium
    
   effects of island size
    
   effects of distance of island
    
   effects of immigration and extinction
