one of the more significant interactions that occur within ecosystems is competiton. Simply stated, competition occurs when two or more individuals have need of a resource that is in limited supply. For discussion this week, I’d like everyone to tell a story about a time when you had to compete with others when there wasn’t enough of something for everyone to have the amount they desired. Examples could include a particular dish at a family meal, supplies for a project at school or work, or even space to occupy in a crowded setting. As you develop your response please include the following:
The item that you competed for and the circumstances in which the competition occurred.
Your initial reaction to the need to compete.
The approach you took to try to acquire your share of the resource.
The responses of others to your approach.
The final outcome for you, the others around you, and the resource in question.
A description of how the outcome of the competition was similar to the ones that occur among natural populations (i.e. resource partitioning, exclusion of competitors, etc.)
Your thoughts about how competition among humans for resources affects natural ecosystems.
A gentle reminder, please try to submit your response early enough for others to read and comment. I really want to start seeing interaction amongst the class.
All thats needed is about 2 paragraphs of a brief discription of a story about a time in your life. I’m a woman with six children so you can write as if it was in my 20’s or as a mother in competions with other mothers. hahaha. Send email with any questions. My daughter is in cheer leading my son is a huge track and football athlete. ideas. This is and Ecology class I have to right this quick statement for.
