This document discusses different types of symbiotic relationships between species: predation, parasitism, competition, mutualism, and commensalism. It provides examples for each type, such as predators and prey, parasites like ticks, competing species like Darwin's finches, mutualistic relationships like plants and pollinators, and commensal relationships like whales and barnacles. The document explains how these relationships can influence species' adaptations through mimicry, defenses, niche partitioning, and character displacement.
This presentation summarizes the major concepts about interactions of organisms while highlighting the ecosystem, competition, symbiosis and the ecological niche.

Community
all the organisms that live together in a place
Community Ecology
study of interactions among all -populations in a common environment
In what ways do populations interact?
Community – all the organisms that live together in one place
Community ecology – study of interactions among all populations in a common environment.
Interspecific interactions – among individuals of the different species.
Intraspecific interactions – among individuals of the same species.
Species Interaction…
-A traditional approach to population interactions has been to consider the direct pair-wise interactions.
Community Ecology is the study of interactions among all populations in a common environment.
Species Interaction is a traditional approach to population interactions has been to consider the direct pair wise interactions.
Two populations may or may not affect each other; if they do, the influence may be beneficial or adverse
Types of Population Relationships:
Interspecific interactions:
Competition and Coexistence
Predation
Mutualism
Commensalism
Intraspecific Interactions
Grasshoppers provide an animal example. Individual grasshoppers deprive their fellow conspecifics of food (exploitation competition).
It is probably a major factor involved in the evolution of plumage patterns in birds.
during intraspecific competition, animals will use whatever weapons are available to them and this makes it likely that the nature of the weapons determines the nature and location of patterns.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. *Species Interactions
• *Species within a community develop close
interactions, known as symbiosis.
– “Sym” means together
– “Bio” means life
– Symbiosis means “living together” and describes the
close relationships developed between species.
• *Symbiotic relationships will always benefit at
least one organism involved.
3. Species Interactions
• *There are 5 major types of symbiotic
relationships:
– *Predation
– *Parasitism
– *Competition
– *Mutualism
– *Commensalism
4. *Predation
• *Predation is a relationship where one organism
captures and consumes another.
– Predator – organism doing the capturing
– Prey – organism being captured
• A predator’s survival depends on its ability to
catch its prey.
– Ex: rattlesnake venom, spider web, etc.
• A prey’s survival depends on its ability to avoid
being caught.
– Camouflage, mimicry, physical/chemical defenses
5. *Prey Defenses
• *Mimicry – a defense where one organism resembles
another that is dangerous or poisonous
• There are two types of mimicry:
– A harmless organism closely resembles a dangerous one
• Known as Batesian mimicry
• Predators learn to avoid both species
• Ex: King snake and coral snake
– Two harmful organisms resemble one another
• Known as Mullerian mimicry
• Added advantage to their already harmful adaptations
• Ex: Bees and wasps have similar striping
6. Prey Defenses
• *Plants have also developed adaptations
to protect them from predators.
– Physical defenses make them difficult to eat
• Ex: Spines, thorns, tough leaves
– Can produce secondary compounds
• Secondary compounds are synthesized from
products of the plant’s metabolism
• Usually poisonous, irritating, or bad-tasting
• Ex: Poision ivy and poison oak
7. *Parasitism
• *Parasitism – symbiotic relationship where
one organism is harmed and the other is
helped
– Parasite feeds on the host organism
– Unlike predation, it does not result in the
immediate death of the host
• Ex: tapeworms can live in human digestive tract for
long periods of time
8. Parasitism
• There are 2 different types of parasites:
– Ectoparasites
• External parasites – live on the outside of the host
• Ex: ticks, fleas, mosquitoes
– Endoparasites
• Internal parasites – live inside the host’s body
• Ex: bacteria, protists, tapeworms
9. *Competition
• *Competition – the use of the same limited
resource by two or more species in the same
place at the same time
– Resource = anything necessity of life (water,
nutrients, light, food, or space)
• Competition may cause the development of
different niches or physical characteristics.
10. Competition
• Competitive Exclusion Principle
– No two species can occupy the same niche in the same
habitat at the same time
– Ex: Paramecia
• Two species of paramecia will thrive separately, but when put
together, one species is eliminated
11. *Competition
• *Organisms may develop physical differences
because of competition for resources.
• Character Displacement – evolution of anatomical
differences that reduces competition
– Happens most where ranges of competitors overlap
– Ex: Darwin’s finches
• Species found in separate locations have the same beak size
• The same species found together have different beak sizes
– allows them to feed on different seeds and reduces
competition
12. Competition
• Organisms may develop differences in niches
because of competition for resources.
• Resource Partitioning – species coexist by
using only part of the available resources
– Ex: some birds eat the same insects, but hunt for
them in different places
13. *Mutualism
• *Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship
where both organisms are helped in some
way.
• Ex: *Plants and their pollinators
– Pollinators feed on the plants and pollen gets
stuck to them.
– Pollen is deposited on the next plant, allowing
the plants to reproduce sexually.
14. *Commensalism
• *Commensalism is a symbiotic
relationship where one organism benefits
and the second is neither harmed nor
helped.
• Ex: *Whales and Barnacles
– Barnacles have the benefit of moving through
waters attached to the whale
– The whale receives no benefit,
but is not harmed either
15. Name the Symbiotic Relationship…
• A eagle hunting a mouse.
– Predation
• A tick feeds on the blood of its host and may carry
disease
– Parasitism
• The flower lives on a tree and absorbs the water from
runoff and the tree is unaffected.
– Commensalism
• Two different types of finches feeding on seeds.
– Competition
• An ant protects a caterpillar from predators and the
caterpillar produces a sweet liquid for it to drink.
– Mutualism
