Are you the kind who moves to a new neighborhood and never bothers to know the next-door neighbor? Well this is just for you. Take the quiz to understand how best you can interact with the communities around you.
A competition between two species that harms one and benefits the other
The particular space within an ecosystem occupied by a species
A process wherein two interacting species act as agents of natural selection on one another
A mechanism that results in death of one of the competing individuals
An interaction between two species that benefits both
Rate this question:
