| 7410053077 | Community | An assemblage of populations of various species living close enough for potential interaction | 0 | |
| 7410053078 | Interspecifc interactions | Relationships between species in a community | 1 | |
| 7410053080 | Competitive | an interaction between organisms or species in which both the organisms or species are harmed. Limited supply of at least one resource (such as food, water, and territory) used by both can be a factor. | 2 | |
| 7410053081 | Competitive exclusion principle | States that two species competing for the same limiting resources cannot coexist in the same place | 3 | |
| 7410053082 | Ecological niche | The total of a species' use of biotic and abiotic resources | 4 | |
| 7410053083 | Resource partitioning | Differentiation of ecological niches enabling similar species to coexist in a community | 5 | |
| 7410053085 | Fundamental niche | All the places an organism could live without competition | 6 | |
| 7410053086 | Realized niche | Where an organism actually lives | 7 | |
| 7410053087 | Predation | Refers to interaction where one species, the predator, kills and eats the other, the prey | 8 | |
| 7410053088 | Cryptic coloration | camouflage, makes prey difficult to spot | 9 | |
| 7410053089 | Aposematic coloration | Animals with effective chemical defense often exhibit bright warning coloration | 10 | |
| 7410053090 | mimicry | allows on species to look like another less desireable specie | 11 | |
| 7410053092 | Herbivory | Refers to an interaction in which an herbivore eats parts of a plant or alga | 12 | |
| 7410053093 | Symbiosis | A relationship where 2 or more species live in direct and intimate contact with one another | 13 | |
| 7410053094 | Parasitism | One organism derives nourishment from another organism, its host which is harmed in the process | 14 | |
| 7410053097 | Mutualism | Is an interspecific interaction that benefits both species | 15 | |
| 7410053100 | Commensalism | One species benefits and the other is apparently unaffected | 16 | |
| 7410053101 | Species diversity | The variety of organisms that make up the community | 17 | |
| 7410053102 | Species richness | The total number of different species in the community | 18 | |
| 7410053103 | Relative abundance | The proportion each species represents of the total individuals in the community | 19 | |
| 7410053104 | Trophic structure | Is the feeding relationships between organisms in a community | 20 | |
| 7410053105 | Food chains | Link trophic levels from producers to top carnivores | 21 | |
| 7410053106 | Food web | A branching food chain with complex trophic interactions | 22 | |
| 7410053111 | Invasive species | Typically introduced to a new environment by humans often lack predators or disease | 23 | |
| 7410053113 | Facilitation | an interaction in which one species has positive effects on another species without direct and intimate contact | 24 | |
| 7410097177 | temporal partitioning | use of niches at different times. ex: night and day | 25 |
