SPECIES INTERACTIONS
Community: all the interacting organisms in one area
Symbiosis: the relationship between different species living in one area
5 Major Types:1) Predation 4) Mutualism2) Parasitism 5) Commensalism3) Competition

1) PREDATION
Predator: captures, kills, and consumes another organism (the Prey)
Adaptations include: venom, fangs, claws, speed, camouflage
Prey: organism being consumedAdaptations include: speed, camouflage, poisons, thorns, mimicryMimicry: a defense in which one organism resembles another that is dangerous or poisonous

2) PARASITISM
Parasitism: an interaction in which one individual is harmed and the other benefits
Parasite: feeds on another individual (the “Host”)

3) COMPETITION
Competition results from limited resources in a community
Competitive Exclusion: when one species is eliminated due to competition
Character Displacement: evolution of anatomical differences to reduce competition
i.e.: Darwin’s finches evolved specialized beaks

4) MUTUALISM
Mutualism: a cooperative relationship in which both species benefit
Pollination is an important mutualistic relationship
Flowers can reproduce and spreadAnimals receive food from plants

5) COMMENSALISM
Commensalism: a relationship in which one species benefits and the other is not affected
i.e.: Clown fish and sea anenome

PROPERTIES OF COMMUNITIES
Species Richness: the # of species in a community
Species Diversity: abundance of each species type

SUCCESSIONSuccession: the gradual regrowth of species in an area
2 Types: 1) Primary Succession: in an area that has not previously
supported life 2) Secondary Succession: follows a disruption of an
existing community i.e. flood, fire, etc.
Pioneer Species: the first species to colonize a new habitat
Climax Community: the end result of succession which remains constant over time
