What is it called when two or more species live together in the same habitat usually with some type of competitive interaction?
When two or more species live together in the same habitat and engage in competitive interactions, it is referred to as "symbiosis," specifically in the context of competition, it can be termed "interspecific competition." This interaction occurs when species compete for the same resources, such as food, space, or light, which can influence their survival and reproductive success.

When two or more species live together in the same habitat?
When two or more species live together in the same habitat, it is referred to as a community or an ecological community. These interactions can be cooperative, such as mutualism, where both species benefit, or competitive, where they vie for the same resources. The dynamics of these relationships can greatly influence biodiversity, ecosystem stability, and the overall health of the habitat. Such interactions are crucial for processes like nutrient cycling and energy flow within ecosystems.
Example of neutralism in context to microbial interaction?
Neutralism is an ecological interaction where two microbial species coexist in the same habitat but do not affect each other. For example, in a soil environment, one species of bacteria may metabolize organic matter while another species may break down mineral compounds, with no direct interaction or competition between the two species.
The many species that live together in a habitat are called a?
the answer is =community
What principle states that no two species can occupy the same niche in the same habitat at the same time?
The habitat is where an organism lives and has many different organisms within it. The niche is the purpose that organism fulfills in that habitat. No two species can occupy the same niche in the same habitat due to competition for that role.
Do species of freshwater fish that live together in a lake form a habitat?
No, they form a community
When two species use the same resource one species may drive the other to extinction?
This is a phenomenon known as competitive exclusion, where one species outcompetes the other for resources such as food or habitat. It can lead to niche differentiation, where the competing species evolve to occupy different niches to coexist. This competition can be a strong driver of natural selection.
What is the difference between a habitat and a ecosystem?
A habitat is the place where a plant or animal lives and an ecosystem is the interaction between all living species in an area and includes the abiotic factors (light, temperature, soil fertility etc.).
What is the difference between a ecosystems and a habitat?

What impact has the culling of whales had on the environment?
well if you think about it, every specie is part of the food chain and has some sort of interaction with other similar species in the habitat.
Is a competition between two species for food symbiosis relationship?
No, a competition between two species for food is not a symbiotic relationship. Symbiosis is a close and long-term interaction between two different species, where at least one of them benefits. In a competitive relationship, both species are negatively affected as they compete for limited resources.
Interacting populations in a particular area is reffereed to as?
An interaction between populations in a particular area is referred to as a community. In ecology, a community represents the different species living together in a specific habitat and the interactions that occur among them. These interactions can include competition, predation, mutualism, and parasitism.
What occurs when an interaction benefits one species but has little effect on the other?
This is known as commensalism, where one species benefits while the other is neither harmed nor helped. An example of this is the relationship between barnacles and whales, where barnacles attach to the skin of whales to gain a habitat and feeding ground, while the whales are not significantly affected.
