Question

describe an example of at least 3 different types species interaction

Answer 1

1.Predation

Predation is a form of symbiotic relationship between two organisms of unlike species in which one of them act as a predator that captures and feed on the other organism that serve as the prey.eg:Lion and zebra

Lions hunt large hoofed animals, such as zebras. They also scavenge on smaller prey when necessary. By preying on zebras, lions act a limiting factor for the zebras. Because zebras only make up on average about 20% of lion's diet, lion population would not be affected by removal of zebras.  

2.Commensalism

Commensalism is an association between two organisms in which one benefits and the other derives neither benefit nor harm. eg: cattle egret and cattle

Cattle egrets follow grazing cows and eat the flies and bugs that tend to bother the cattle. The movement of foraging livestock also dislodges various insects from the field, which cattle egrets feed on.

3.Mutualism

Mutualism describes the ecological interaction between two or more species where each species has a net benefit. eg:oxpeckers (a kind of bird) and the rhinoceros or zebra

Oxpeckers land on rhinos or zebras an eat ticks and other parasites that live on their skin.The oxpeckers get food and the beasts get pest control. Also, when there is danger, the oxpeckers fly upward and scream a warning, which helps the symbiont.
