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