Which of the following regarding species interactions is INCORRECT? a) The net effects of a mutualism on each participant is a fixed characteristic of the interaction, and is rarely influenced by external factors. b) Reciprocal parasitism is an accurate way of describing many mutualistic interactions. c) The Lotka-Volterra competition model accounts for the effects of both interspecific and intraspecific competition.

Interspecific interactions affect the survivaland reproduction of the species that engage in them. As shownin the table, these interactions can be grouped into three broadcategories: competition, exploitation, and positive interactions
Which of the following rows correctly describes the difference between predation and parasitism? Select one: a. Predation Parasitism The host species is killed to benefit the other species. The host species is not killed, but its life is barely sustained to benefit the other species. b. Predation Parasitism The host species is unharmed, and its life is sustained to benefit the other species. The host species killed or barely left alive to benefit the other species. c. Predation Parasitism The host species is not killed, but its life is barely sustained to benefit the other species. The host species is not killed, but its life is barely sustained to benefit the other species. d. Predation Parasitism The host species killed or barely left alive to benefit the other species. The host species is unharmed, and its life is sustained to benefit the other species.

Which of the following can explain why species are able to coexist, even if the competitive exclusion principle is generally true? a) Species may be competitively equivalent, with the outcome of each competitive encounter being essentially random. b) Competitive exclusion may take many generations; prior to that point, there will be coexistence. c) Spatial heterogeneity in the distribution and concentrations of limiting resources can result in variation in the strength of competition across the landscape. choose all the answers that apply.
Name the type of interaction in which one species is harmed while other is neither benefitted nor harmed?
