Community Ecology Concept Map Basics
A community ecology concept map shows how the living organisms in one area interact. A community is all the populations of different species living together in a defined place. The map usually divides into species interactions such as predation, competition, mutualism and parasitism, plus community structure (species richness, evenness, trophic levels), and community change through ecological succession.
- Species interactions: predation, competition, mutualism, parasitism and commensalism
- Community structure: species richness, evenness and food web layers
- Diversity measures: how species counts and abundances are summarized
- Succession: primary and secondary change after disturbance
- Keystone species: species with an outsized effect on community composition
Use the map to review how each interaction changes population sizes, then revise weak branches. Build a personalized community ecology map from your own notes with CogniGuide.

Community Ecology Map Questions
Quick answers on the topic and on making your own map.
What is the difference between a community and an ecosystem?
A community includes only the living organisms in an area. An ecosystem includes those organisms plus the non-living factors, such as water, soil and climate, that they interact with.
What does species richness measure?
Species richness is the number of different species in a community. It does not account for how many individuals each species has, which is measured by evenness.
Which files can I use to build my community ecology concept map?
You can upload a PDF, Word (DOCX) or PowerPoint (PPTX) file, a text or Markdown file, or an image. You can also type a topic instead.
Can I turn my community ecology map into a quiz?
Yes. The map can become a quiz to test yourself. The free plan allows 5 creations a week.
