Species interactions within ecological webs include four main types of two-way interactions: mutualism, commensalism, competition, and predation (which includes herbivory and parasitism).Because of the many linkages among species within a food web, changes to one species can have far-reaching effects.he keystone species concept is one of the best-known ideas in community ecology. Although it is true that many species potentially interact with one another in a food web such as depicted in Figure 1, in nature there are big players and little players. The biggest players of all are referred to as keystone species.
The word symbiosis literally means 'living together,' but when we use the word symbiosis in biology, what we're really talking about is a close, long-term interaction between two different species. There are many different types of symbiotic relationships that occur in nature. In many cases, both species benefit from the interaction. This type of symbiosis is called mutualism. An example of mutualism is the relationship between bullhorn acacia trees and certain species of ants.
