A species is a living organism which follows the biological species concept of parasitism‚ commensalism‚ and mutualism. The biological species concept: Parasitism: one benefits from the other; taking over a host‚ (+/- reaction) (Ex: plasmodium apicomplexa taking over a human host causing malaria‚ tapeworm) Commensalism: one benefits and one doesn’t care‚ (+/0

for a large period of the life cycle. In 1879 German botanist Heinrich Anton de Bary coined the term "symbiosis" to describe these relationships‚ meaning the living together of different species of organisms. Many people associate symbiosis with mutualism‚ interactions that are beneficial to the growth‚ survival‚ and/or reproduction of both interacting species. But symbiotic interactions also include commensalism (one species receives benefit from the association and the other is unaffected)‚ amensalism

Species Interaction * The relationships between two species in an ecosystem. * The interactions between two species need not be through direct contact. Species may affect each other through intermediaries such as shared resources or common enemies. Major factors in evolution and adaptation: * Predation * Competition for scarce resources Terminologies: * Habitat – the actual physical location where a species lives. * Conditions – physical or chemical attributes of the

Some possible interactions between the two species were neutralism‚ commensalisms‚ mutualism‚ and parasitism. It was hypothesized that the relationship would be commensalism‚ with Spanish moss benefited and the Southern live oak neither benefited nor harmed. The type of symbiotic relationship was determined using two factors‚ the relative
