A species that plays a critical role in maintaining structure and functioning of their ecosystem.

When different species living together in a close partnership.

Where one species (the parasite) benefits and the other species (the host) is harmed.

Where one organism is inhibited or destroyed, whereas the other is unaffected.

Interactions between individuals of the same species.
