Co-evolution
Explanation:
A series of reciprocal adaptations in predator and prey populations describes co-dependence or co-evolution
- In co-evolution, two species which are in association evolve together due to their relationship
- Both the species have different ancestry
- Interactions exhibited by co-evolution are: host parasite interaction, prey predator association, evolution of long proboscis in insects for taking nectar from flowers
- Predation is a very short term behavior in which two different species interact with each other for the demand of energy, one is prey and the other is predator
- For successful predation, predator wants minimum energy investment and maximum energy
- Increase in prey population in any given area attracts predator population, hence population of predator also increases in that area
- Increase in predator population results in decrease in prey population after some time decrease in prey population leads to decrease in predator population also
