UNIT 9 I. Population Structure and Dynamics Module 36.2 Density
... Module 37.3 Predation leads to diverse adaptations in both predator and prey. A. The predator is the eater, and the prey is the eaten (including plants). No species is entirely free of predation, at least when young. Predation is the interaction between species when one kills and eats the other spe ...
