Ecology concept map
An ecology concept map connects organisms, their interactions, and the physical conditions around them. It combines levels of organization with processes, making it possible to trace how a population fits within a community and how that community relates to nonliving conditions.
When it helps
Use it to combine lessons on populations, food webs, ecosystems, and biomes. Choose a narrower food web when the main task is to track feeding relationships among named organisms.
What to check
- Keep levels distinct. A population concerns one species; a community includes multiple species.
- Include nonliving conditions. Light, water, temperature, and other factors belong in an ecosystem explanation.
- Explain arrow direction. Feeding arrows and causal arrows need different interpretations.
- Separate energy and matter. Do not describe energy flow as though it were nutrient recycling.
- Mark uncertainty. A plausible interaction is not the same as an observed one.
Build it with MyMap
MyMap can branch your ecology topics and add connections through follow-up prompts. The example groups populations, communities, ecosystems, biomes, and ecological relationships. Add specific relationship labels when using that overview for a more detailed concept-mapping exercise.

Common questions
How is this different from a food web?
A food web centers on feeding relationships. An ecology concept map can also include populations, environmental conditions, and broader processes.
Can I map a local habitat?
Yes. Supply the species, conditions, and observations you have. Ask that uncertain relationships be marked for investigation.
Should biomes and ecosystems be separate branches?
They can be, provided the map explains their relationship. Use the definitions and level of detail expected in your course.
