Deseribe in detail on population interaction

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Organisms belonging to different populations interact for food, shelter, mating or for other necessities. The interaction may be intra specific (interaction within the members of same species) or interspecific (among organisms of different species). The intra-specific association is observed for all livelihood processes like feeding, territoriality, breeding and protection.
Interspecific associations or interactions can be: Neutral: where different species live together but do not affect each other.
Positive: it is a symbiotic relationship in which no organism in an association is harmed and either one or both may be benefitted. It is of two types Mutualism and Commensalism. Negative: One or both of the interacting organisms will be affected as in case of competition, predation and parasitism
