What is an invasive species?
The struggle between organisms to survive as they attempt to use the same limited resources
Competition.
An example of this type of symbiosis is a hawk building its nest on an arm of a saguaro cactus
Commensalism
What is natural selection
a process where organisms with traits better suited to their environment are more likely to survive

What can invasive species do to other native species in the long-run?
Kill them off.
Competition within the same species
Intraspecies Competition
relationship where one species benefits and the other species is neither helped nor harmed
Commensalism
Any kind of inherited trait that improves an organism's chances of survival and reproduction in a given environment
Adaptation
What is a good definition for "abiotic factors" in an ecosystem?
The non-living things in an ecosystem. (ex. wind)
I am endangered because of poachers, people who hunt illegally. They kill me for my horn, which can be used to make traditional medicine. Who am I?
