Chapter 56.1, Problem 1R

Summary Introduction

To review:

The reason due to which communities are defined by creating subsets of species and the type of community subset by which toads and frogs, in the ponds were defined, on Mount St. Helens.

Introduction:

The term “community” is often used in ecology to define a species group that live together at same time and place. Different communities interact in different ways, which infer a characteristic feature to that community. For example, a competitive interaction exists between two communities of a frog that feed on same types of insects.
