    This document provides a summary of key concepts in population ecology, community ecology, animal behavior, and ecosystem ecology covered in an AP Biology Unit 6 exam. It defines important terms like biotic and abiotic factors, fundamental and realized niches, density-dependent and density-independent population growth, species richness and diversity. It also summarizes interspecific interactions like competition, predation, symbiosis, community succession, animal communication and social behaviors. Finally, it outlines important chemical cycles and models for energy flow through ecosystems.
