PLANTS AND ANIMALS FULL Flashcards
Interspecific: Predation
Predation is when one species kills and consumes another species
Interspecific: Herbivory
An animals species that eat parts of a plant species
Interspecific: Competition
Members of different species compete for the same resources.
Eg; When food is scarce.
Interspecific: Parasitism
a explotiative relationship between the two living species in which one organism is benefitted at the expense of the other. The organism that is benefitted is called the parasite, while the one that is harmed is called the host.
Interspecific: Mutualism
two organisms of different species in a relationship benefit from the activity of the other
Interspecific: Commensalism
a relationship where one species benefits from it and the other is unaffected by it
Intraspecific: Sexual Dimorphism
The difference in appearance between males and females of the same species.
Eg; Colours, Shape, Size, and Structure.
Intraspecific: Hierarchies
Order of dominance in a social group with individual with high rank has top choices to resources
Aggressive Behaviours
Is when another species intentionally inflicts harm on another same species and can either be inter or intra
Intraspecific: Agonisitic Behaviours
Ritualistic behaviour between members of the same species to reduce competition and maintain hierarchy. no harm done
Intraspecific: Pair Bond
a relationship a male and a female of the same species, ensuring cooperative behaviour in mating and the rearing of the young.
Intraspecific: Aultrisitic Behaviour
where a member of a group reduces their chance of reproduction in favour of another member of their group.
Gause Principle
two species competing for the same resources cannot coexist in a stable environment where one species will be better adapted and will outcompete and eliminate the other
Intraspecific: Courtship
a series of behaviour that an individual (usually male) will use to attempt to attract an individual of the opposite sex, for the purpose of mating.
Intraspecific
relationship between two of the same species;
Interspecific relationships
Interactions among organisms of different species and always benefit one species
Cooperation Competition
the process where groups of organisms work or act together for common or mutual benefits
Home Range
An area where organisms roam to find resources and mates. It may overlap other organisms’ home ranges. It is not actively defended.
Territory
an area that contains food supply, nesting site, or the valuable source where it will be actively guarded/defended from other species known as territorial.
if an intruder breaks in its a process of sign post warning to ritualized fighting than last is actual fighting.
Linear Hierarchy
Each individual dominates the individuals that is below them
Complex Hierarchy
A group has a social structure controlled by a dominant
(alpha) member and is ordered. It is different from linear as it has subordinates, bonding pairs, family groups, division of labour.
Explotiation
An interspecific relationship where one species benefits and the other is harmed
Ammensalism
An interspecific relationship where one species is unaffected and the other species is harmed
Kin Selection
Altruistic behaviour towards related individuals. This behavior can increase the chances of passing on shared genes to the next generation.
Intraspecific Competition
members of the same species compete for limited resources
