... and in turn the brine shrimp are eaten by phalaropes and gulls, reducing the population of shrimp. Predation can occur at any stage in the life cycle of an organism, including eggs and seeds, young, mature, and old. Populations are limited by removal of individuals as they are eaten. Diseases limit ...

Organisms and their environment
... All organisms depend on others directly or indirectly for food, shelter, reproduction, or protection. If you study an individual organism, such as a male white-tailed deer, you might find out what food it prefers, how often it eats, and how far it roams to search for food. However, studying a singl ...
