| The number and relative abundance of species in a biological community | ||
| animal that hunts and eats other animals | ||
| Resources a population actually uses; biological constraints | ||
| Host is harmed | ||
| Symbiont benefits, host is unaffected | ||
| A change in the symbiont affects the host | ||
| Begins in areas eventually barren of life due to lack of formed soil or on rubble | ||
| A type of camouflage that makes potential prey difficult to spot against its background | ||
| Bears a superficial resemblance to another species | ||
| animal hunted or caught for food | ||
| Describes interactions involving reciprocal evolutionary adaptations in 2 species | ||
| an animal or plant that lives in or on a host; harms host | ||
| An interaction in which an herbivore eats parts of a plant or alga | ||
| Attach or briefly feed on the external surface of the host | ||
| Colonization by species from distant areas not directly associated with the disturbed patch or its immediate vicinity | ||
| Bright colorization; coloring acts as a warning of another physical or chemical defense | ||
| Resources a population is a theoretically capable of using under ideal conditions | ||
| If an existing community has been created by some disturbance that leaves the soil in tact | ||

| The smaller participant in a symbiotic relationship, living in or on the host | ||
| Live within host's tissues or body cavities | ||
| Transition in species' composition over time | ||
| Sum of the total of an organism's use of biotic and abiotic resources in its environment; how an organism "fits" into its environment | ||
| interaction in which one organism captures and feeds on another organism | ||
| A platable species mimics a bad tasting model | ||
| Form of interspecific interaction in which a host species and a symbiont maintain close association | ||
| an animal or plant that nourishes and supports a parasite | ||
| in a community competition for resources among members of the same species | ||
| Occurs when populations of different species in a community rely on similar limiting resources |
