Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mutualism is a type of species interaction where both species benefit from the interaction, and thereby both species gain an advantage. This makes it the least likely to lead to a local extinction of at least one of the species involved. In contrast, competition involves two or more species competing for resources, which can lead to the exclusion of one species from the local area. Consumer-resource interactions where the consumer is a predator or herbivore can also lead to the decline or extinction of the resource species if the consumer population grows too large or if the resource becomes scarce. Consumer-resource interactions with a parasite can have similar effects, as parasites can weaken or kill their host.
