  1. COOPERATIVE INTERRELATOINSHIPS IN MISSOURI FORESTS

  2. ECOSYSTEM All the organisms and the non-living environment within a defined area

  3. DESERT

  5. COMMUNITY Consists of all the interacting animal populations within an ecosystem.

  6. FOOD WEB

  7. MANY DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES EXIST IN A SINGLE FOREST

  8. SYMBIOSIS Two species living together in close association over an extended time. Also called symbiotic relationships

  9. 3 TYPES OF SYMBIOSIS 1. PARISITISM 2. COMMENSALISM 3. MUTUALISM

  10. PARISITISM A symbiotic relationship where the organism lives in or on their host and does harm to their general well being, sometimes parasites are fatal. The parasite benefits, the host does not.

  11. ONE EXAMPLE OF PARISITISM Ticks on a deer.
