TejaTscharntke’s studies of the food web associated with Phragmites reeds revealedthat:a.only a single parasitoid species can persist exploiting a single speciesof herbivore.b.only a single herbivore species can persist attacking a single speciesof plant.c.predation by birds actually protects herbivores, because the birds feedon parasitoid-infested herbivore galls but not uninfested galls.d.within local food webs, all interactions tend to be of roughly the samestrength.e.recognizing variation in interaction strength can greatly simplify thedepiction of a food web.

Ecological Interactions

The study of the ecological interactions between living beings and their physical environment, including humans, is ecology. It aims to understand the crucial links between plants and animals and the world around them. Ecology also gives knowledge on the advantages of ecosystems and how we may use Earth resources to ensure that future generations have a healthy environment.
