- - - - Cooperation
        
        Cooperation is a modality of intraspecific relationships that includes the colony,
        society, gregarious and family associations; They are characterized by mutual help between
        organisms of the same species that make up the population.
        
        Categories
        
        Colony
        
        It consists of the permanent and close union between organisms of the same species that
        collaborate functionally, in which the individuals are physically united. They present division of
        labor, so that organisms specialize in certain functions such as reproduction, defense, obtaining
        food, etc.
        
        Society
        
        They are groups formed by a large number of organisms of the same species, in which
        they all live together, it is permanent and they maintain dependency relationships between them, they present a division of labor and a high degree of specialization that is manifested in
        morphological differentiation and social ranking of group members.
        
        Gregarious
        
        They are made up of a large number of organisms of the same species, they are
        occasional or temporary, with or without ties of kinship, which have common activities and come
        together.
        
        Family associations
        
        : It occurs between members of a family; it can be temporary or they can be
        united for several generations. They have the purpose of grouping for learning and caring for the
        young, protection, recognition of family members or to reproduce.
      - Competition
        
        It manifests itself as a social behavior, since the individuals involved belong to the
        same species, therefore, they tolerate each other, which limits the number of organisms that live in a
        given place, and compete for the same resources
        
        There are two types of competition which are:
        
        Hierarchy by dominance
        
        It occurs in animals of the same species that live in social groups and
        consists of the stratification of individuals according to the dominance or influence they exert on the
        rest of the organisms
        
        Territoriality
        
        It consists of the delimitation and defense of an exclusive territory or area that is not
        going to be shared with rivals, it is carried out by males, females, couples or social groups.
- - - - Commensalism
        
        This type of relationship is beneficial for one of the two individuals involved (called a diner ), without this benefit causing any kind of damage or discomfort to the other body. This is well explained in the name of the term, which comes from the Latin cum mess , that is, “share the table.”
      - Predation
        
        Predation is a type of interspecific relationship that causes damage ( death ) to one of the two species involved , since the other feeds on it, destroying and consuming its tissues. The consuming species is called the predator or predator , and the consumed species is known as prey .
      - Mutualism
        
        Unlike commensalism, in the case of mutualism the association between the two species is mutually beneficial , being useful to both diners. This often implies some degree of tolerance or explicit cooperation between them.
      - Parasitism
        
        This interspecific relationship also causes harm to one of the two members involved, while benefiting the other . It is similar in that sense to predation, only that the damage is not massive and immediate, but slower and prolonged in time, to the extent that the parasitic species consumes fluids or tissues of the parasitized, which suffers the consequences.
      - Symbiosis
        
        It is a very narrow degree of cooperation between species , so much so that both lead a joint life in intimate association, to the point of being often indiscernible from each other. This cooperation generally has benefits for both (or at least one) of the species.
      - Competition
        
        The competition takes place when two species benefit from the same niche , feeding on their resources or obtaining some kind of well-being, but they cannot do so at the same time or in a peaceful way, so they must fight for access to the resource and deter some way to the other species to look for some other food source.
