Which type of interaction is signified by
Introduction:
Ecology is defined as the study of interaction between organisms and its environment at various levels that include individuals, populations, communities, and ecosystems.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Population ecology is a subfield of ecology that studies the interaction between the population of organisms of species and its environment. It deals with study of the growth of a population and how other species and the environment influence that growth.
Conclusion
Hence, it may be concluded that, population ecology deals with the interaction between organisms of a species with its environment.
