These are examples of competition, predation, and symbiosis on my plot:
Competition:
-Two trees growing higher and higher for sunlight.
-Two squirrels fighting over certain nuts, that grow only near one's nest.
Predation:
-Birds searching for worms.
-Spiders making a web to catch insects.
Symbiosis-Mutualism:
-Ants pollinating peonies. (Not technically on my plot, but right on the beginning of the trail)
-Deer eating seeds of plants, and in their scat;they spread seeds.
Symbiosis-Commensalism:
-A squirrel living in a tree.
-Moss on trees and plants.
Symbiosis-Parasitism:
-Ticks and Fleas on mammals.
-Humans killing and eating animals for food, or taking plants down for clearing trails.
