Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to construct explanations of community interactions.
Appears in: Science, High School
Expectations
SEC3.aConstruct an argument based on evidence to support how species interactions (e.g., predation, parasitism, mutualism, commensalism, and competition) and adaptations are a response to selective pressures.)
SEC3.bObtain, evaluate, and communicate information about various ecological niches within habitats and determine how interactions between species lead to resource partitioning.
SEC3.cConstruct an explanation based on evidence that describes the impact of keystone, invasive, native, indicator, and rare species in Georgia ecosystems.
SEC3.dConstruct an explanation about species diversity and how it relates to the stability of ecosystems and communities.
SEC3.eDevelop a model to explain ecological succession in terms of changes in communities over time and the impact of disturbance on community composition.
