Predation and Predator-Prey Relationships

• Predation involves one organism benefiting at the expense of harming another.
• The organism benefiting from predation is known as the predator.
• The organism being harmed in predation is referred to as the prey.
• Predation is also referred to as the predator-prey relationship.
• This interaction is a fundamental aspect of ecological systems and food webs.
• Examples of predators include lions, sharks, and eagles.
• Examples of prey include zebras, seals, and rabbits.
• Predators have adaptations for hunting and capturing prey, such as sharp teeth, keen senses, and speed.
• Prey have evolved defense mechanisms, such as camouflage, speed, and protective armor, to avoid being captured.
• The predator-prey relationship has a significant impact on population dynamics and ecosystem stability.
• Understanding predation is crucial for conservation efforts and managing natural resources.
• The study of predator-prey interactions contributes to our understanding of evolutionary processes and biodiversity.
