EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The symbiotic relationship between predator and host is where the predator kills the host instead of causing harm for a long time. One example is the relationship between hermit crabs and sea anemones. Sea anemones ride on the shells of the hermit crabs.

Detailed explanation-4: -Pistol shrimps and gobies. Aphids and ants. Woolly bats and pitcher plants. Coral and algae. Oxpeckers and large mammals. Clownfish and anemones. Honeyguides and humans. The senita cactus and senita moth.
