什么是 Interspecific interactions?

Definition 27.1 University Biology — Year 1 · 第 27 章 — Interactions Between Species

An interaction between two species is classified by its effect on each: ++ (benefit), −- (harm) or 00. Competition (−/−-/-): both use a resource in short supply. Predation (+/−+/-): one kills and eats the other; herbivory (+/−+/-) when the eaten is a plant and usually survives; parasitism (+/−+/-) when the exploiter lives on or in a host it does not kill at once. Mutualism (+/++/+): both benefit. Commensalism (+/0+/0): one benefits, the other is unaffected. Amensalism (−/0-/0): one is harmed, the other unaffected. Every interaction is a selective pressure on both partners, and their reciprocal adaptation over generations is coevolution.

示例

Example 27.2 (One tree, all six)

An oak competes with its neighbours for light; its acorns are eaten by jays (predation) and its leaves by caterpillars (herbivory); mistletoe draws its sap (parasitism); its roots exchange sugars for phosphate with a fungus (mutualism); ferns grow on its bark, using it only as a perch (commensalism); and its shade kills the grass beneath it (amensalism).
