Discussion Proper:

Ecological relationship

Ecological communities consist of interacting or potentially interacting


species in the same environment.

This is what we call ecological relationship.


Types of ecological relationship:
1) Mutualism

Mutualism is a relationship in which both species benefit.


For example, bees get the nectar they need to make honey by traveling
between flowers.
2) Commensalism

Commensalism is a relationship in which one organism benefits while the


other is neither helped nor harmed.
 For example, birds that live in the hollows of trees are commensal.
3) Amensalism

 Amensalism is an interaction where an organism conflicts harm to another


organism without any cost or benefits received by itself.
 For example, the black walnut tree that secretes chemical to it's
neighboring plants.
4) Parasitism

 Parasitism is a relationship in which one organism benefits and the other


organism is harmed, but not always killed.
 The organism that benefits is called the parasite, and the one that is harmed
is the host.
 For example, a tick on a dog.
5) Predation

 Predation is when one organism eats another organism to obtain nutrients.


 The organism that is eaten is called the prey.
 For example, lion that eats gazelles.
6) Competition

 Competition is when individuals or populations compete for the same


resource, and can occur within or between species.
 An example are lions and hyenas that compete for prey.
