Population Ecology and the CHAPTER 40 Distribution of Organisms Key Concepts 40.1 Earth’s climate influences the distribution of terrestrial biomes 40.2 Aquatic biomes are diverse and dynamic systems that cover most of Earth 40.3 Interactions between organisms and the environment limit the distribution of species 40.4 Biotic and abiotic factors affect population density, dispersion, and demographics 40.5 The exponential and logistic models describe the growth of populations 40.6 Population dynamics are influenced strongly by life history traits and population density Figure 40.1 What limits the distribution of this tiny frog? Overview Discovering Ecology and pathogens, affect the size of their populations? Questions like these are the subject of ecology (from the Greek oikos, Kneeling by a stream during an expedition to Papua New home, and logos, study), the scientific study of the interactions Guinea in 2008, Cornell University undergraduate Michael between organisms and the environme
