Species interaction
-
Herbivores may employ different feeding strategies (e.g. mucivores feed on plant sap, granivores feed on seeds, etc.)
-
Certain types of beetle may feed voraciously on the leaves / foliage of crop plants (folivores), causing crop failure
Fruit-eating animals (frugivores) spread the seeds from a fruit in their faeces, promoting overall seed dispersal
Predation
-a biological interaction whereby one organism (predator) hunts and feeds on another organism (prey)
-If the prey population drops (e.g. due to over-feeding), predator numbers will dwindle as intra-specific competition increases
-If the prey population rises, predator numbers will increase as a result of the over-abundance of a food source
