Chapter 20, Problem 14PS

Summary Introduction

To explain: The type of interaction that takes place between all the five wildflower species that are enclosed with fences to keep out kangaroo rats, most common herbivores in the area.

Concept introduction: The intra-specific interaction is a type of interaction between species. Dominating species survive and progressively increase in this type of interaction. When the members of same or different species start living in a particular habitat; they show some effects on each other, due to limited resources. These effects produced by organisms on each other are known as biological interactions. These interactions may be short-term like predation or long-term like mutualism.
