Scales of Ecology Part 2: Communities

The video explores community ecology, focusing on interactions like mutualism, predation, and competition. It explains mutualism types, such as obligate and facultative, with examples like oxpeckers and zebras. Predation and competition are discussed, highlighting their roles in ecosystems. The video also covers population dynamics, showing how predation and resource availability influence population sizes and community balance.

What is the significance of foundation species in an ecosystem?

What factors can affect population size in an ecosystem?

Discuss how predation influences the dynamics of prey populations.
