Species Interactions
There are 5 categories of species interactions. Some of these may be pretty familiar to you. Can you name all 5?

Categories of Species Interactions
1.Predation
2. Competition
3.Parasitism
4.Mutualism
5.Commensalism
Each category is based on the effect each species has on the other

Predation-Predation is when one organism of 1 species (predator) consumes part or all of another organism of another species (prey)
-Can be: herbivores (plant-eaters) or carnivores (meat-eaters)
-This is a win-lose relationship (predator wins, prey loses)

Typically the above photos are what we think of when we think of predation,but the photo at the sideis also an example

What makes a good predator more effective?
- speed - heightened senses like hearing,
vision- claws or teeth for grabbing and
shredding- camouflage (to sneak up on prey)

Revenge of the prey – how do they survive?
Prey animals may develop speed, heightened awareness, colonial living, camouflage or mimicry
Mimicry is when 1 species looks like another species (usually 1 that is venomous or bad-tasting)
The coral snake is venomous but the CA king snake isn’t

Plants can’t run and hide, so how do they protect themselves?
Plants can have physical defenses like thorns, needles, tough leaves
They can also have chemical defenses that are poisonous, irritating or bad-tasting Animals who
encounter poison ivy are also affected & learn real quick to leave it alone!

Competition
Interspecific competition is competition between 2 different types of species for the same resource
Examples include:- plants competing for light or space- 2 predators competing for the
same prey

Results of competition:
2.Competitive exclusion – 1 species is eliminated from the community because it is worse at getting the resource
3.Reduced niche size – species lives in a more limited environment than it can actually tolerate
4.Character displacement – competitors evolve slight differences so they no longer compete for the same resource

Balanus grows faster & crowds out Chthamalus in the lower tidal zones (excludes) leaving Chthamalus to survive in the dryer upper zone (reduced niche)

Results of competition cont.:
4. Resource partitioning – species share resources by using different parts
Which of the above photos shows resource partitioning and which shows character displacement?

SymbiosisSymbiosis = long-term close relationship
between 2 different organism
There are 3 types:3.Parasitism (win-lose situation)
parasite benefits from its relationship to its host (usually does not kill host)
- ectoparasite – lives on outside of host (ex. flea, tick)
- endoparasite – lives inside host (ex. Tapeworm)

Perhaps not the wisest of diet plans. Is this an endo or ectoparasite?

Symbiosis cont…
2. Mutualism (win-win situation)- both species benefit
- examples include:* flowers and their pollinators* clownfish & sea anemones* zebras, hippos & oxpicker birds

News Alert:•New field studies suggest that the oxpicker birds aren’t helping remove as many ticks as previously thought!
•Perhaps this is not a case of mutualism
•Apparently they pick at wounds on the zebras or prefer to eat ticks that have engorged themselves on blood so maybe they are really ________?

Commensalism
3. Commensalism – one species benefits, the other is not affected (although it actually may be mutual but we don’t understand the benefits!)
Ex: - scavengers who feed on dead things - buffaloes & cattle egrets (buffalo displace insects as they walk & egrets feed on them)

CommensalismCattle don’t get much benefit but egrets get small prey items flushed out into the open
Scavenger – special case of commensalism. The vultures did not kill the hyena (also a scavenger!) but now get the benefit from eating it.
