A group of populations that are separated by space but consist of the same species. These separated populations interact as individual members. Acquisition of knowledge that leads an organism to act a certain way. An instinct of an organisms to behave a certain way High fecundity, small body size, unstable environment, dependant offspring, short life cycle, early maturity - small, reproduce fast, plants, bacteria, insects Actual reproductive rate of organism or population, measured by the number of gametes (eggs), seed set, or asexual reproductive structures A species on which other species in an ecosystem largely depend, such that if it were removed the ecosystem would change drastically. An event which is closest to, or immediately responsible for causing, some observed result.
