  2. Intraguild predation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraguild_predation

    Intraguild predation is common in nature and widespread across communities and ecosystems. [2] Intraguild predators must share at least one prey species and usually occupy the same trophic guild, and the degree of IGP depends on factors such as the size, growth, and population density of the predators, as well as the population density and behavior of their shared prey. [1]

  3. Exploitative interactions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploitative_interactions

    Exploitative interactions can have significant biological effects. [3] For example, exploitative interactions between a predator and prey can result in the extinction of the victim (the prey, in this case), as the predator, by definition, kills the prey, and thus reduces its population. [2]

  4. Biological interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_interaction

    Predation is a short-term interaction, in which the predator, here an osprey, kills and eats its prey. Short-term interactions, including predation and pollination, are extremely important in ecology and evolution. These are short-lived in terms of the duration of a single interaction: a predator kills and eats a prey; a pollinator transfers ...

  5. Interspecies communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interspecies_communication

    Much of the communication between predators and prey can be defined as signaling. In some animals, the best way to avoid being preyed upon is an advertisement of danger or unpalatability, or aposematism. Given the effectiveness of this, it is no surprise that many animals employ styles of mimicry to ward off predators. Some predators also use ...

  6. Interspecies friendship - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interspecies_friendship

    Two goats and a cat sitting in the shade. An interspecies friendship is a nonsexual bond that is formed between animals of different species. [1] Numerous cases of interspecies friendships among wild and domesticated animals have been reported and documented with photography and video. [1]

  7. Pack hunter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pack_hunter

    A well known pack hunter is the gray wolf; humans too can be considered pack hunters. Other pack hunting mammals include chimpanzees, dolphins, such as orcas, lions, dwarf and banded mongooses, and spotted hyenas. Avian social predators include the Harris's hawk, butcherbirds, three of four kookaburra species and many helmetshrikes.

  8. Consumer–resource interactions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer–resource...

    Consumer–resource interactions are the core motif of ecological food chains or food webs, [1] and are an umbrella term for a variety of more specialized types of biological species interactions including prey-predator (see predation), host-parasite (see parasitism), plant-herbivore and victim-exploiter systems.

  9. Coevolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coevolution

    Coevolution includes many forms of mutualism, host-parasite, and predator-prey relationships between species, as well as competition within or between species. In many cases, the selective pressures drive an evolutionary arms race between the species involved.
