Answer true or false 1. Parasitism, once considered a symbiotic relationship, is now considered a form of predation. 2. Dominant species exert less control over the occurrence and distribution of other species. 3. Members of a population engage in intraspecific competition which is a major factor in limiting both fecundity and survivorship.
