Interactions Between Populations
• Traditional approaches to population interactions have been to consider just the direct pairwise interactions
• This is simplistic in that the population either interact, or they do not

Interactions Between Populations
• There are a number of ways in which the populations my impact one another, if they do

Interactions Between Populations
• Competition ( - , - ) is the most widely interaction we think of
• Both parties are negatively impacted• If the resource is in short supply or high
demand, there will be competition• If that resource is prey, the form of
competition is exploitation competition

Interactions Between Populations
• Other kinds of competition also occur• It may be direct (agonistic) encounters such as
allelopathy or territorial defense (interference)

Interactions Between Populations
• Predation, parasitism, and Batesian mimicry• Predation is usually killing another organism,
although can you think of exceptions?• Parasitism could be considered a form of
‘weak’ predation

Interactions Between Populations
• One mite lives in Panterpe and Eugenes, others are specialists
• Even though suitable ‘habitat’ is found in other flowers, they are not found there..why?
• Male mites will actively fight/kill other species of mites within the same flower

• It has been hypothesized that ‘endosymbiosis’ exists
• The certain of the cell organelles found in higher organisms, particularly chloroplasts and mitochondria, are actually the remnants of symbiotic prokaryotic organisms that have since been permanently incorporated into the eukaryotes

Interactions Between Populations
• Producing nectar and pollen (and fruit) has costs
• Rewards must be sufficient to allow returns to get them to specialize on a particular species (why?)
• However, they must be small enough to the animal will travel the distance between plants

Interactions Between Populations
• There are also ‘food-chain mutualisms’ (aka cascading effects)
• Aquatic example: plants, minnows, and bass
• Is it ‘bottom-up’ or ‘top-down’?

Interactions Between Populations
• Consider three species’ populations at the same trophic level (horizontal interactions)
• P1 and P3 are mutualists because they both inhibit P2

Interactions Between Populations
• A four-species system that results in an indirect mutualism is termed facilitation
• Consumers indirectly interact as they eat similar, but different prey items (but the plants themselves compete)

• Conditions that can lead to CM
• There is a considerable time lag in the indirect effects of CM
