Chapter 56 Flashcards
symbiosis
species interactions
1. antagonistic- 1 benefits, 1 harmed
2. mutualism- both benefit
3. competition- 2 species compete for the same source
4. commensalism
5. predation
predation
- fright
- concealment
- warning coloration
- vigilance
- mimicry
mimicry
-batesian- non toxi resembles toxic
-mullerian- number of toxic species coverage on a common pattern, all benefit fro providing a stronger recognition signal to predators
intraspecific comp.
individuals of same species
interspecific comp.
indviduals of different species
interferences comp.
a competitor interferes with another to access a resource
exploitation comp.
one competitor is more efficient in using a resource than another
competitive exclusion
no 2 species can long coexist sharing the same limiting resource
resource partitioning
selection pressures from interspecific comp. can change the ways the competing species use the limiting resource if changes allow
fundamental niche
physiological capabilities
realized niche
interactions with other species (narrowing)
commensalism
1 benefits, other unaffected
ammensalism
1 unaffected, 1 is harmed
