an african leopard chases a wildebeest and catches the antelope. the chase attracts the attention of a pride of lions. as the leopard tries to kill the wildebeest the lions try to take advantage by charging the leopard. the leopard climbs a tree to gain safety. the lions catch the injured wildebeest and eat it. what kind of species interaction is this and why?

on the african savanna warthogs regularly visit a group of banded mongooses. the warthog lies down and the banded mongooses pick off parasites and bugs off of the warthog. the end result is the band mongooses get a free meal and the warthog gets cleaned. what kind of species interaction is this and why?
Two related species of salamanders were found living on opposite sides of a mountain. One species lives in along a shady forest stream on the leaf covered-ground and is brown with dark green spots. The other species live along the bright, sandy banks of a larger river is light tan in color. What is most likely cause of the difference between these two species of salamander? Group of answer choices Competition Predation Mating seasons Different habitats
the cattle egret follows cattle around because the cattle disturb the insects making them easier for the egrets to catch. this action causes no harm to the cattle nor does it benefit the cattle. what kind of species interaction is this and why?
Predation is an interaction between two species best described how? One species benefits from the interaction at a cost to the other species. Both species benefit from the interaction. One species benefits from the interaction, and the other is unaffected. Neither species benefit from the interaction.
Which competition is exclusively intraspecific? competition for shelter competition for mates competition for food competition for water
In exploitative interactions, one species gains a fitness advantage at the cost of another species. Which of the following is an example of exploitation? O A squirrel uses a hole in a tree as shelter A large grouper fish is cleaned of parasites by a cleaner shrimp O A millipede feeds on dead fragments of plants and animal feces OA dragonfly kills and eats a beetle Algae grows inside the tissue of a coral and produces nutrients for both
Read this quote from Charles Darwin (from Origin of Species). What is he describing? "Thus, I can understand how a flower and a bee might slowly become, either simultaneously or one after the other, modified and adapted to each other in the most perfect manner, by the continued preservation of all the individuals which presented slight deviations of structure mutually favorable to one another." An interaction network. A predator/prey cycle. O Coevolution. An obligate mutualism.
Which of the following can typically decrease genetic variation? toxins Opredator-prey relationships competition new habitat disasters increased food supply
The following picture represents mussels, goose barnacles, sea stars, anemones, etc. competing over space. Gary Luhm/Danita Delmont Stock Photography If the species ended up in each location by chance and are using up space without direct interactions, this would be an example of competition. If the species are actively competing with one another over who gets to live in which location (uplifting/crushing), this would be an example of competition. Act Go to
The Earth is currently experiencing the sixth mass extinction event. Conservation efforts attempt to identify and focus on the species most at risk of going extinct. Which characteristics make species more vulnerable to extinction? species that have a generalized diet species that have a small population size species that are not negatively affected by introduced species species that are used by humans for food and clothing species that have a long life span
Define predation. How does the predator-prey relationship differ from the parasite-host relationship? Why is the evolutionary race be-tween predator and prey one that the predator cannot afford to win?
Which type of competition does not happen between members of the same species? protecting territory interference finding a mate maintaining a shelter
