Communities

Mr. Anderson discusses ecology, focusing on community interactions and population dynamics. He explains the BBECPO levels, from biosphere to organism, and delves into community structure, symbiosis, and species diversity. The video also covers population growth, highlighting exponential and logistic growth, and the impact of limiting factors. Human population dynamics are explored, including age structure and demographic trends.
