Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -This interaction between these biting flies and insectivorous frogs thus manifests as a double-edged, predator-prey relationship.
Detailed explanation-2: -Perhaps the classical example of species interaction is predation: the symbiotic relationship in which one species survives on consuming the other species. The species that consume or win is the predator and the species that is eaten is the prey.
Detailed explanation-3: -Competition and predation are ecological relationships but are not symbiotic. Predation does not occur over a long period of time, and competition is an indirect interaction over resources.
