Predator Prey Dynamics

When two species evolve in response to the pressure each puts on the other we call this:

• microevolution

• macroevolution

• speciation

• coevolution

The predator - prey relationship is based primarily on the quest for:

• space

• symbiosis

• energy

• help

Eats only plants..predator on plants:

• carnivores

• omnivores

• detrivores

• herbivores

Symbiotic relationship in which harm is caused to a host:

• mutualism

• parasitism

• commensalism

• communism

This particular species parasitizes a host grasshopper to the point that he jumps and drowns in water..thus allowing the parasite to reproduce:

• hookworm

• ringworm

• hairworm

• filaria worm

Prey avoids predators by strategies involving all of the following except:

• attraction

• detection

• capture

• handling

Detection predator avoidance strategy includes:

• camoflauge

• smell

• chemical toxins

• being out in the open

• color
