Community Ecology: Interspecific Interactions: Predation

What is Community Ecology?

Carefully listen to his examples of "leap-frogging." Personally, I view the whole process as an "arms race," like the one between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R back in the cold war era.

What's co-evolution?

Define/distinguish between:

• predators

• parasites

• parasitoids

Distinguish between the following two types of coloration.

• cryptic coloration

• opposamatic coloration

Which type of coloration is called camouflage?

Define mimicry.

Interspecific Competition: Ecological Niches

Which one is a +/- relationship?

Which one is a -/- relationship?

Define competitive exclusion.

Define character displacement.

Interspecific Associations: Symbiosis

What's symbiosis?

Is it always +/+?

Distinguish between mutualism and commensalism.

Which one is +/+ and which one is +/o?
