Ecology(Biotic Interactions) Flashcards
Grouping is when…
individuals from the same specie, that may not be blood related, live together and benefit from interacting. Ex: penguins
Family is when…
a group of closely related organisms that build strong links among themselves. Ex: gorillas
Society is when…
a group of organisms that are very well organised and do so hierarchically. Ex: ants, bees.
Competition happens when…
when the relationship of 2 organisms creates a negative effect on them. They compete for the same resources to survive, grow and reproduce. Ex: elephant seal
Predations happens when…
an organism consumes another organism from another specie. The organism that is hunting, the predator, is in advantage. Ex: lion eating a zebra.
Symbiosis is…
the interaction between species that live together in a close relationship.
Commensalism is…
a relationship when a specie benefits from another one without hurting it.
Mutualism happens when…
different species interact and both get benefited from it
Parasitism happens when…
when two organisms from different species interact and one gets benefited and the other one gets harmed.
