Competition
• when two or more individuals or populations try to use the same resource (food, water, shelter, sunlight)
![Page 5: Interaction between organisms](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061506/568130af550346895d96bf1f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
CompetitionCompetition can happen within a population, like these elk who are fighting over the same territory or mate.
Or competition can happen between different populations, like these different species of trees and plants who are competing with each other for sunlight and space.

Predators and Prey – one organism eating the other
• prey – the organism being eaten• predator – the one who eats the prey
When a bird eats a worm, the worm is the prey and the bird is the predator.

Who’s the predator, who’s the prey?
Lion and zebra

With the predator being so powerful, we start to feel bad for the prey. But nature has given prey a few methods and abilities to help them out.
3 Prey adaptations
Camouflage Defensive Chemicals Warning Coloration
![Page 11: Interaction between organisms](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061506/568130af550346895d96bf1f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
camouflage – blending in with the background
• One way animals avoid being eaten is by being hard to see. Many animals mimic twigs, bark, leaves, stones, or other material in their environment.
A snow fox and a toad are using camouflage to hide.

Another prey adaptation is the use of chemicals to defend themselves
• defensive chemicals – inject or spray attackers
Who might do this?
![Page 23: Interaction between organisms](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061506/568130af550346895d96bf1f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Defensive Chemicals
• The skunk and the bombardier beetle both spray predators with irritating chemicals.
![Page 24: Interaction between organisms](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061506/568130af550346895d96bf1f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Defensive Chemicals
• Bees, ants, and wasps inject a powerful acid into their attackers.
![Page 25: Interaction between organisms](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061506/568130af550346895d96bf1f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Defensive Chemicals
• The skin of both the poison arrow frog and a bird called the Hooded Pitohui contain a deadly toxin. Any animal that eats, or tries to eat either of these animals will likely die.
![Page 26: Interaction between organisms](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061506/568130af550346895d96bf1f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Our last prey adaptation is the use of warning colors
• warning coloration – warn predators that they are dangerous
Predators will avoid any animal that has the colors and patterns they associate with pain, illness, or unpleasant experiences.
![Page 27: Interaction between organisms](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061506/568130af550346895d96bf1f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The most common warning colors are red, yellow, orange, black, white
![Page 28: Interaction between organisms](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061506/568130af550346895d96bf1f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Some species have very close interactions with other species
• Symbiosis - close, long-term association between two or more species
Mutualism Commensalism Parasitism
3 main types include:
![Page 29: Interaction between organisms](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061506/568130af550346895d96bf1f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Mutualism
• both benefit
![Page 30: Interaction between organisms](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061506/568130af550346895d96bf1f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Mutualism
• Example: good bacteria in your intestines
The bacteria get a meal from you while they help break down food, and you get vitamins that the bacteria produce.
![Page 31: Interaction between organisms](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061506/568130af550346895d96bf1f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Mutualism
• The aphid and the ant
The ant will protect the
aphid in return for
the honeydew that aphids
produce
![Page 32: Interaction between organisms](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061506/568130af550346895d96bf1f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Commensalism
• one benefits and other unaffected
![Page 33: Interaction between organisms](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061506/568130af550346895d96bf1f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Commensalism
• Example: remoras and sharks
Remora fish attach themselvesto sharks to hitch
a ride and eat any scraps left
by the sharks. Sharks are unaffected.
![Page 34: Interaction between organisms](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061506/568130af550346895d96bf1f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Commensalism
• Clown fish and sea anemone
The clown fish lives among the tentacles of the sea anemone as protection. Seaanemone is unaffected.
![Page 35: Interaction between organisms](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061506/568130af550346895d96bf1f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Parasitism
• one benefits and the other is harmed
![Page 36: Interaction between organisms](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061506/568130af550346895d96bf1f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Parasitism
• Parasite – the one that benefits• Host – the one that is harmed
The mosquito is the parasite and the human is the host
![Page 37: Interaction between organisms](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061506/568130af550346895d96bf1f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Parasitism
• Example: wasp & caterpillar
Wasp lays her eggs on the
caterpillar. When the eggs hatch,
they eat the caterpillar as
food.
Who is the host and who is the parasite?
![Page 38: Interaction between organisms](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061506/568130af550346895d96bf1f/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Parasitism
• In the example of the wasp and the caterpillar, the host dies. Most parasites don’t kill their hosts because parasites depend on their hosts. If a parasite were to kill it’s host, the parasite would have to find another one.
![Page 39: Interaction between organisms](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061506/568130af550346895d96bf1f/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Parasitism
• Roundworms and dogs
Roundworms live inside the dog and feed off its intestinal material, harming the dog.
Who is the host and who is the parasite?
![Page 40: Interaction between organisms](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061506/568130af550346895d96bf1f/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Let’s practice!
Mutualism Commensalism Parasitism
Both benefit One benefitsOther unaffected
One benefitsOther harmed
![Page 41: Interaction between organisms](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061506/568130af550346895d96bf1f/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Mutualism, Commensalism, or Parasitism?
• Barnacles and whales
Barnacles attach themselves to the bodies of whalesand are transported tovast areas where food might be. Whales are unaffected.
![Page 42: Interaction between organisms](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061506/568130af550346895d96bf1f/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Mutualism, Commensalism, or Parasitism?
• Ticks and humans
Ticks suck blood from the human
![Page 43: Interaction between organisms](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061506/568130af550346895d96bf1f/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Mutualism, Commensalism, or Parasitism?
• The Oxpecker and the rhino
The Oxpecker bird eats blood sucking insects off the Rhinos skin.
![Page 44: Interaction between organisms](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061506/568130af550346895d96bf1f/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Mutualism, Commensalism, or Parasitism?
• Cowbirds and dickcissel birdsCowbirds will lay their eggs in the nest of dickcissel birds. When the eggs hatch, the baby cowbirds push out the dickcissel babies and the cowbirds are fed and raised by the dickcissel parents.
![Page 45: Interaction between organisms](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061506/568130af550346895d96bf1f/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Mutualism, Commensalism, or Parasitism?
• The boxer crab and small anemones
The boxer crab will carry small anemones in its claws to scare off predators. In return, the anemones eat any scraps that fall when the crab eats.
![Page 46: Interaction between organisms](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061506/568130af550346895d96bf1f/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Mutualism, Commensalism, or Parasitism?
• Cattle crane and cattle
The cattle crane eats the insects that the cattle stir up as they graze in pastures. Cattle are unaffected.
