Plot Community

The interactions that occur on my plot are competition, predation, mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism.
Here are two examples of each interaction.

1.) Competition: Robins fighting for food and territory; ducks fighting over who gets to live in the pond.

2.) Predation: A cardinal eating a worm; an owl eating a mouse.

3.) Mutualism: A bird and a deer; bees and flowers.

4.) Commensalism: Spanish moss growing on an oak tree; squirrel and maple tree.

5.) Parasitism: Bush ticks and deer; Oak-Tree-Hoppers and oak tree leaves.
