Detailed explanation-1: -Symbiosis is a term describing any relationship or interaction between two dissimilar organisms. The specific kind of symbiosis depends on whether either or both organisms benefit from the relationship.
Detailed explanation-2: -What happens to a population and to competition when there is a reduction of living space? The population expands and competition intensifies.
Detailed explanation-3: -Population Explosions The most obvious result of the removal of the top predators in an ecosystem is a population explosion in the prey species. Predators keep herbivore populations in check. The reverse is also true, of course–predator populations are limited by the availability of prey.
