Describe resource, resource partitioning, character displacement, and the niche concept

Identify factors responsible for species to occupy defined niches; distinguish between
fundamental and realized niches and explain an example of this concept.

Recognize the positive, neutral, and negative pairwise effects that a species can have on another
species and be able to name and define the following interspecific interactions competition,
predation/parasitism/herbivory, and mutualism.

Explain how competition reduces fitness for both species involved and explain the long-term
consequences of competition: coexistence, competitive exclusion, resource partitioning, and
character displacement

Give a biological example of a mutualism and describe how mutualisms are vulnerable to
cheating.

Explain how predators can exert strong selection on prey.
