  • Ecology is the study of how living organisms interact with each other and with their physical surroundings.
  • Species Interaction describes the relationship among organisms of different species living in the same location.
  • Predation is an interaction where an organism, the predator, kills and eats another organism, the prey.
  • Intraspecific competition is a type of ecological interaction where members of the same species compete for limited resources, such as food, water, mates, or territory.
  • Interspecific competition is a type of ecological competition where individuals from different species compete for the same resources in an ecosystem
  • Biodiversity is typically understood in three levels: genetic diversity, species diversity, and ecosystem diversity.
  • Again, Genetic diversity emphasizes variations within species, species diversity highlights the variety of organisms, and ecosystem diversity deals with diverse habitats and their interactions.
  • When we say In-situ conservation, it is the conservation of species within their natural habitat. In this method, the natural ecosystem is maintained and protected.
  • This method involves the breeding and maintenance of endangered species in artificial ecosystems. There is less competition for food, water and space among the organisms.
  • ecology, it studies how organisms interact with their environment and other organisms.
