COMMUNITY INTERACTIONS: COMPETITION AND PREDATION Response to Predation Definition Example Picture of Example Camouflage Warning Coloration Mimicry Action by Prey Alluring Coloration Deceptive Markings Interaction Intraspecific Competition Interspecific Competition Competitive Exclusion Predation Definition Species A ( + or -) Species B (+ or -) Example For each scenario prove with evidence which type of interaction is occurring from the above options. 1 Monarch butterflies are toxic to birds. As a result, birds avoid eating the monarchs. Over time, the viceroy butterfly has adapted to look very similar to monarch butterflies. Even though the viceroys are non-toxic to birds, the birds avoid the viceroys because they look so similar to the monarch. 2 A serval is a member of the cat family that lives in the grasslands of Africa.Its adaptations include spots for camouflage, sharp claws and teeth, keen sense of smell, hearing and sight. 3 The barred owl has been moving into the habitat of the spotted owl. The barred owl outcompetes the spotted owl causing the spotted owl to only live around the edge of the habitat. 4 Two oak trees living next to each other compete for water, light, and nutrients. 5 A particular species of snake was accidentally introduced into a region where it had no natural enemies. These introduced snakes fed on birds and insects that were the food of native snake species. 6 This a spider, Synemosyna formica, that looks like an ant species to avoid predation from birds 7 The marmorated stink bug releases an oder when a bird attempts to eat him.
