M4: Community Ecology - Species Interaction Flashcards
What type of species interaction wherein both species are harmed?
Competition
What type of species interaction wherein both species benefits?
Mutualism
What type of species interaction wherein one benefits and the other is harmed?
Predation or Parasitism
What type of species interaction wherein one benefits and the other is neutral?
Commensalism
What type of species interaction wherein one is harmed and the other is neutral?
Amensalism
What type of species interaction wherein both species are unaffected?
Neutralism
What is the chemical release that kills/harms one species?
Allelopathy
What competitive interaction where it is a general classification for direct interactions between competing organisms?
Interference Competition
What competitive interaction where it has limited supply of resources?
Resource Competition
What competitive interaction where it is a competition between members of own species?
Intraspecific Competition
What competitive interaction where it is a competition between members of two or more species?
Interspecific Competition
What competitive interaction does Realized Niche implies?
Intraspecific Competition
It is where the population decreases with growing individuals?
Self-thinning
As individual grows, resources required grows leading to what kind of competition?
Intraspecific Competition
What is the relationship between density of individuals and their biomass?
Indirectly Proportional
What is the self-thinning rule?
Slope of line of - 3/2
What does G.F. Clause proposed about Competitive Exclusion Principle?
No two species with identical niches cannot coexist indefinitely. [One species are more effective competitor]
What is the Lokta-Volterra Model?
dN1/dt = r1N1(K1-N1-a12N2/K1)
and
dN2/dt = r2N2(K2-N2-a21N1/K2)
