Ecosystem Interactions
![Page 2: Ecosystem Interactions Interactions The organisms in a community are capable of interacting with each other in some very complex ways. – They can: Hurt](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/5697bf9b1a28abf838c92970/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Interactions
• The organisms in a community are capable of interacting with each other in some very complex ways.– They can:• Hurt Each other• Help each other• Live indifferently

Competition• Competition occurs when 2 or more organisms
(same or different species) attempt to us the same resource at the same time and place.
• Resource: any necessity of life – Ex. Water, nutrients, light, food, space, etc…
• Two types:– Intraspecific: members of the same species
compete for a resource– Interspecific: members of different species compete

Predation• An interaction in
which one organism captures and feeds on another
• Predator- organism that does the killing and eating
• Prey- organism that is the food
• This relationship can have a drastic effect on the community (more on this later)

Symbiosis
• The relationship in which there is a close and permanent association between organisms of different species
• Three kinds of symbiosis are: – Mutualism
– Commensalism
– parasitism.

mutualism• Relationship in which
both species benefit from the interaction
e.g., intestinal bacteria, lichens, pollinators

commensalism
• Relationship in which two organisms live together …one benefits and the other is unaffected
e.g., barnacles on whales, orchids

parasitism• a member of one species
derives benefit at the expense of another species: usually harm but don’t kill host
• Parasite- organim that obtains benefit
• Host- organism that the parasite feeds from– e.g., ticks, mistletoe,
disease-causing bacteria
