Bid Idea 4

1. Altruistic Behavior: This pictures in its entirety depicts the plea to help dwindling orangutan populations by donating money. This is an example of altruistic behavior, or selflessness, because people do not necessarily gain anything by helping these creatures.

4. Climax Community: This picture of a section of land beside the river is a climax community in that it has reached a relatively steady state.

17. Population: This is the entirety of this specific population of zebras, the total number of a species in a finite area.

12. Mutualism: The huge amount of fungi that live on these plants demonstrate mutualism because they help protect the plants in return for nutrients.

13. Niche: Each organism in a community plays a specific role, its niche, and when one organism is lost, the whole community is affected, as the sign in this picture discusses.

6. Competition: This snow leopard in its natural habitat would compete for resources every day, fighting for its food among other predators.

3. Biomes: The American River makes up part of the valley biome, a biome often filled with rivers that run down from mountains and bring water and life to the valley, as seen here.

9. Introduced Species: This species of lizard is not native to the Sacramento area, but rather was introduced to the area.

15. Parasitism: This picture depicts bait used for fishing. Fishing is a parasitic activity in some regards because the person fishing gains something while the fish is actually hurt by the relationship.

18. Predation: This red panda is victim to predation in its native environment. It is not easily caught but is a highly targeted prey because it sticks out.
