ORGANISMS CAN INTERACT IN DIFFERENT WAYS
... Organisms Interact in Different Ways • PREDATOR/PREY: predator is an animal that eats another; prey is an animal eaten by a predator; in a food chain, an animal may be both(a small bird feeds on grasshopper, then is eaten by a falcon). • The sick & elderly usually are the members of a population th ...

Since 1980, the amount of old growth forest on the islands of Amami and Tokuno has declined by an alarming 70 to 90 percent. In addition, predation by introduced mammalian predators, such ...
