Build the hierarchy
A common sequence is organism → population → community → ecosystem → biome → biosphere.
Population ecology links individual physiology to community and ecosystem patterns.
Pair levels with questions
Organismic ecology is strongly physiological. A habitat cannot be described by physical and chemical conditions alone; biotic interactions also matter.
OlympIQ exam lens
- ✓Organism precedes population, then community and biome.
- ✓Organismic ecology is physiological ecology.
- ✓Habitat includes biotic as well as abiotic context.
OlympIQ trap
Population is not the first level above organism: several conspecific organisms form a population.
