- Name the type of interaction in which one species is harmed while other is neither benefitted nor harmed?arrow_forwardA niche is loosely defined as an organism's role in its environment, which can include factors such as feeding preference, nesting behaviors, mating behaviors, method of obtaining prey, and local habitats. Keeping Gause's law in mind, do some research on the California red-legged frog and the North Pacific tree frog (use wiki or another Google search). Create a chart comparing the two with respect to their niche or lifestyle that can explain how these two frogs can co-exist in the same ecosystem.arrow_forwardRead this quote from Charles Darwin (from Origin of Species).
