Where we live and what we do Habitat: Where an organism lives and all the
resources (biotic and abiotic) it needs to survive Niche: The species’ role in its environment
e.g., type of food, predators, ability to reproduce, habitat needs
Competition: When organisms attempt to use the same resource in the same place and time
Competitive exclusion principle: No two species can occupy the same niche in the same habitat at the same time.

What Is Symbiosis? Symbiosis: a close ecological relationship
between the individuals of two (or more) different species (sym = together; bio = life) Competition: Both organisms are harmed Mutualism: Both organisms benefit Commensalism: One organism benefits, other is
unaffected Parasitism: Parasite benefits, host is harmed (but
not killed) Predation: Predator benefits, prey is killed Herbivory: Herbivore benefits, plant is harmed or
killed

Competition – introduced species• Kudzu was introduced to the
• United States in 1876 at the• Centennial Exposition in • Philadelphia, PA.
Kudzu “outcompetes” other
native plants so they don’t
have a place to grow.

Mutualism - Dove and cactus
Cactus provides fruit for the dove; dove eats the fruit (including the seed) and transports the seed (along a dose of fertilizer!) to a new location.

Commensalism - Shark and Remora
Remora (attached by a sucker) gets a ride on the shark, sometimes also gets food dropped by shark

Commensalism – whale and barnacle
The barnacle larvae swim around, attach to the whale, and form the adult; whale habitat is good location for finding food

Predation – Spider and prey insects
In this Predator-Prey relationship, the spider is eating an insect that it has trapped.

Predation – Snake and mouse
• The snake is the only one benefiting in this relationship!

Predator/Prey “Arms Race” Predators and prey are involved in an ever-
escalating evolutionary “arms race”! e.g., antelope gets faster, so cheetah gets faster
For many populations predation is the main cause of death. BUT the prey determines the predator
population When the prey population increases, predator
population increases When prey population decreases, predator population
decreases
