Ecology-Interspecific Interactions
Introduction
The niche is one of the most important concepts in ecology. In essence, an organism’s niche is how it makes a living: the environmental conditions it tolerates, the important resources it needs to survive, and its ways of obtaining those resources. In obtaining energy, nutrients, etc., populations of one species frequently interact with populations of other species. This leads us to discuss specific types of interactions between species.
