Respuesta :

Biological interactions can be defined as the influence that two organisms living in a community have on one another. The discipline (a sub-strata of biology) that is focused on studying these interactions is called Ecology.

What are the various types of biological interactions?

The various types of interactions are:

  • Mutualism (Symbiosis) - In this case both organisms or species benefit from their coexistence.
  • Commensalism - In this case, there only one organism benefits, the other remains neutral and unaffected positively or negatively.
  • Competition - In this case both organisms are negatively affected when they interact
  • Parasitism, Predation and Herbivory - In this case, only one specie benefits. The other is disadvantaged.

Have these interactions always been this way?

From the empirical point of view, it is not yet fully understood, neither is there a body of knowledge that supports the timescale relating to the evolution biological interactions across species.

Recent studies using advanced research capabilities indicates that in microbial communities, that are void of host association, divergence and hybridization events occur.

Is different now from past interactions?

Where  evolution of bio-interactions have occurred another model suggests that they may be due to ecological sorting and not evolutionary adaption (which occur at the genetic level).
