Question

"the symbols +, -, and 0 are used to show the results of interactions between individuals and groups of individuals. the symbol + denotes a positive interaction, - denotes a negative interaction, and 0 denotes interactions in which individuals are not affected. the first symbol refers to the first organism mentioned. what interactions exist between a lion pride and african wild dogs, if the dogs are found to typically avoid areas with lions?"

Answer 1

The correct answer is +/-.
There are different types of interactions and relationships between the various species of an ecosystem. If both species benefit from an interaction, then we talk about a mutualistic interaction which is symbolized by +/+. There are competitive interactions where both of the species are affected negatively and are symbolized as -/-. In this example, while the lion pride is benefited by the interaction, the African wild dog is excluded from specific areas of the ecosystem and therefore the species is disadvantaged. This relationship is symbolized as +/-.

Answer 2

Interactions between lions and African wild dogs that avoid the lions are positive and negative interactions (+/-)

Further explanation

Because the interaction between the two animals has two different sides. From the lion's side, the interaction is a positive interaction, because there are no other animals that disturb the area. From the side of stray dogs, this interaction is a negative one, because stray dogs cannot move freely in the lion's territory.

The environment for animals is all the biotic and abiotic factors that are around it and can influence it. Animals can only live, grow and breed in an environment that provides conditions and resources and avoid harmful factors.

There are 2 categories of environmental factors for animals, namely:

• Conditions are abiotic environmental factors whose conditions are different and change according to differences in place and time. Animals react to environmental conditions, which are changes in morphology, physiology, and behavior. Environmental conditions include temperature, humidity, pH, salinity, water flow, wind, pressure, organic and inorganic substances.
• Resources are things that are consumed by organisms, which can be distinguished from matter, energy, and space. Resources are used to indicate an abiotic or biotic factor that is needed by animals because availability in the environment decreases when it has been utilized by animals. Each animal will vary according to space (place) and time.

In the ecosystem of animals interact with the biotic environment, namely other animals, plants and other micro-organisms. Such interactions can occur between individuals, between populations, and between communities. The interaction is an ecological function of an ecosystem. Interaction between individuals can occur between individuals in a population or different populations.
