Acknowledgement
I express my deep and heartfelt sense of
gratitude towards my guide Mrs
Deblina Datta Chanda for providing
timely help and suggestions in carrying
out this project.
Atlast I want to thank my parents who
always encouraged me and supported
me and their useful cooperation in my
studies to complete this project within
the limited time

POPULATION INTERACTIONS
INFLUENCE ABUNDANCE
When
populations
ofdifferent
species interact,
the effects on one
on the other may
bepositive (+),
negative (-) or
neutral (o).

MUTUALISM
• Mutualism is a type of symbiosis in which populations
interact to the benefit Of both species.
MUTUALISM
SYMBIOTIC NITROGEN FIXERS
• Although free nitrogen is about 80% Of the
atmosphere, plants are unable to use it until it is
into and converted to nitrates by bacteria.
PARASITISM
•Ectoparasites develop
some clinging organs
like hooks, suckers to get
attached with the body of
host.
•Some plants like cuscuta
have certain specialized
absorbing structures
called haustoria to attain
foocL
two organisms i
neither benefit nor
together without
exchange

Symblosls
The dog is a classic example of a domestic animal that likely traveled a commensal
pathway into domestication.
Pollination in which nectar or pollen (food resources) are traded for pollen
dispersal
(a service) or ant protection of aphids, where the aphids trade sugar-rich
honeydew (a by.product of their mode of feeding on plant sap) in return for
defense against predators such as ladybugs.
Common Cuckoo chick ejects eggs of Reed Warbler out of the nest,lt is type of
brood paracitism.
agricultural varieties of maize provide food for humans and are unable to
reproduce without human intervention because the leafy sheath does not fall
open, and the seedhead does not shatter to scatter the seeds naturally.
GheetahG and lions since both Species feed on Similar prey, they are negatively
impacted by the presence of the other because they will have less food, however
they still persist together,
