Landscape -interaction of environment; grassland and waterland. Population -group of same form interacting together. Defined area in which one specie is observed. Example: bearing more or less offspring due to population size. Two or more populations of different species living in the same area and interacting. Example: sea urchin, crab and plant life. Species compete for a resource in short supply. Strong competition can lead to competitive exclusion. Fundamental: full area an organism could occupy. Realized: the area an organism can occupy. A harmless species mimics the coloration of a harmful one. A form of competition in which one species consumes parts of an algae or plant. A relationship in which two or more species live in direct and intimate contact with one another: Secondary, tertiary, quaternary( and so on) consumer. Certain species have a large impact on a community structure: Play a pivotal role in community dynamics.
