Abstract


Further development of the study about the consortion as a biological phenomenon that characterizes interrelations between the biotic and abiotic components within a single system is reviewed. In particular, an attention is drawn to the necessity of analysis of the ethological relations between the consortion determinant and its consorts that haven’t been studied under this point of view yet. The ethological relations are displayed mainly on the level of heterotrophic consortions. An assumption is made that the information as the carrier of ethological relations can be displayed on the level of visual, chemical, thermal, mimic signals etc. Some literary data about the ethological relations between the determinant and its consorts are presented. Summing up the consortion is supposed to be the possible elementary unit of ecosystem evolution.
