Define Community-
Describe two adaptations prey have to protect them from predators.

2. Notes: Responses to Predation

3. Organism Population Community (interaction of different species) Ecosystem Biosphere

4. PREDATION (+/-)
one species eats another species
predator: eater and prey: eaten
Types: carnivores, herbivores and omnivores

5. cyclic in nature
↑ in prey leads to ↑ in predators (vice versa)
Lag time

6. RESPONSES TO PREDATION
1. Camouflage: Cryptic coloration disguises an animal so it’s less visible to predators or prey

7. Disruptive coloration
Breaks up the outline of an organism with a strongly contrasting pattern

8. countershading
Protective coloration in which parts normally in shadow are light and those exposed to the sky are dark.

9. Brightly Colored AND Toxic
2. Warning Coloration (aposematism): intended not to camouflage an organism but to make it more noticeable - Bright coloring to warn potential aggressors of toxicity

10. 3. Mimicry: physical (or behavioral resemblance) of one species to another

12. 4. Action by Prey: Action by prey just before death that is unexpected by predator

13. Lizard video

14. 5. Alluring Coloration: animals are colored so a predator's attention is drawn to a non-vital part of the prey's body

15. 6. Deceptive Markings: Markings that resemble fake eyes or false heads to startle predator.
