interactions with other species
Interactions with other species refer to the various ways different organisms engage with one another in their environments. These interactions can be beneficial, harmful, or neutral and include relationships such as predation, competition, and symbiosis. For example, in a symbiotic relationship, two species may work together for mutual benefit, like bees pollinating flowers while obtaining nectar.
These interactions play a crucial role in ecosystems, influencing population dynamics and community structure. They can affect the distribution of species and their adaptations over time. Understanding these relationships helps scientists study biodiversity and the health of ecosystems, as well as the impact of human activities on the natural world.
