COMMUNITY INTERACTIONS
BIOLOGY 2 – ZOOLOGY
PREDATION
• In predation, one individual, the predator,

individual, the prey.
MIMICRY
• In a defense called mimicry, a harmless
species resembles a poisonous or

method of
concealing

indiscernible from
the surrounding
environment.
COMPETITION
• Competition results
from fundamental
niche overlap—the use
of the same limited
resource by two or
more species.
MUTUALISM
• Mutualism is a
cooperative
relationship in which
both species derive
some benefit.
COMMENSALISM
• Commensalism is an interaction in which
one species benefits and the other is not
affected.
PARASITISM
• Parasitism is a species interaction that
resembles predation in that one individual
is harmed while the other individual
benefits.
