1. Notes – Community Interactions
France—On a bright summer morning a captive-bred male harvest mouse perches acrobatically in an Alsace wheat field. This species—the smallest European rodent—boasts a prehensile tail and builds a round nest that resembles a bird's

2. Competition
Individuals within a species try to use a resource in the same space at the same time
Each of these warbler species has a different niche in its spruce tree habitat. By feeding in different areas of the tree, the birds avoid competing with one another for food.

Individuals within a species try to use a resource in the same space at the same time
“Zebras migrate with well over a million wildebeests and gazelles. A taste for different plant parts keeps the grazing competition down.” -NatGeo sept

4. Competition

5. Predation Predator = species that eats another species
Prey = species that is eaten by a predator

6. Mutualism
Two species interact in a way that helps the survival of both of them.
Aphids secrete a sugary snack for ants that protect them.

7. Mutualism
Two species interact in a way that helps the survival of both of them.
Example: Pollinators are insects or other animals that spread pollen from one plant to another while obtaining a sugar-rich nectar from the flowers.

12. Parasitism
