Question
Chapter 19, Problem 7WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The examples of some adaptations that allow a species to compete with each other gather food, avoid herbivory and predatory and live inside another species. The way by which each of these adaptations contributes to the fitness of organisms.
Introduction:
Adaptations are important for the survival of organism under the changing environmental conditions. The organism which is readily adapted towards the environmental changes can live for a longer time.

Students have asked these similar questions
What is predator management?
What is the linkage between the evolution of prey and predator species and how this relates to the regulation of population size?
please answer both
An association of individuals of different species living in the same habitat and having functional interactions is what?
Given your knowledge of how predators and resources can affect life history traits, hypothesize how the four combinations of high resources, low resources, predator presence, and predator absence would affect the size at maturity of a prey species.

Individuals migrate to another area in order to avoid competition for limited resources in the current ecosystem. Individuals that have traits that allow them to outcompete others survive better and produce more offspring. Individuals must become stronger to compete for resources, and this increased strength is passed on to the next generation. Individuals that must compete for limited resources are more likely to have diseases that cause mutations.arrow_forward
