| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| symbiosis | one of the species live in/on the other species, can be positive or negative |
| predation | an individual of one species kills and consumes multiple individuals of other species |
| carnivory | an individual of another species consumes another animal |
| herbivory | an individual of another species consumes part or rarely all of a plant |
| parasitism | one species consumes certain tissues in one or a few individuals of another species without always killing them |
| mutualism | both species benefit |
| commensalism | one species benefits while the other is "unaffected" |
| amensalism | One participant is unaffected by the other is harmed |
| arms race | Adaptation in one species may lead to evolution of an adaptation in a species it interacts with |
| aposematism/ warning coloration | Play species that are toxic me advertise say the fact with bright coloration or warning signs |
| batesian mimicry | Non-toxic species resembles a toxic species |
| müllerian mimicry | The number of aposematic species converge on a common color pattern |
| oligophagous | Specialists on one or few related plant species |
| polyphagous | species feed on many unrelated plant species |
| microparasites | Much smaller than host, generally live and reproduce inside host |
| ectoparasites | live outside their host |
| keystone species | Plays critical role into determining community membership |
| intraspecific competition | occurs among individuals of the same species |
| interspecific competition | occurs among individuals of different species |
| niche | role of species |
| habitat | refers to living place of species |
| fundamental niche | physiological capabilities |
| realized niche | interactions with other species |
| limiting resources | a resource that is in short supply |
| competitive exclusion | one species prevents another from using essential resources |
| competitive coexistence | ability to coexist despite sharing limiting resources |
| interference competition | Competition interferes with another's access to a resource |
| exploitation competition | one competitor is more efficient in using a resource than another |
| resource partitioning | dividing up or participation allows them to coexist |
| character displacement | Individuals with in a species have different behavior or morphology depending on whether they are competing with another species |
