1 Natural selection and predator–prey interactions

2 Announcement *assignment include filling tables in page 149, 150, 151,
152, 153 and 154. Two graphs demonstrating changes in frequency and another two demonstrating changes in fitness values of both predator and prey

3 Ecological interactions between organisms
1-Competition two organisms using the same resources 2-Predator-prey (parasite-host interactions) benefit itself while harming another 3-Mutualism both participants benefit from an interaction 4-Commensalism one participant benefit while is unaffected 5-Amensalism one participant is harmed but the other is unaffected

4 Natural selection (Adaptation)
* Traits (genetic makeup) that confer superiority in survival and reproduction to their owner. *Organisms interactions involve reciprocal changes over time. This kind of evolutionary is termed coevolution. *Fitness: genotype reproductive contribution to subsequent generation

5 Natural selection * Fitness formula for predator Wi= Ci/C Ni/N
*Fitness formula for prey Wi= ei/e ni/ n * 3 predator morph (same sp) and 4 prey sp * 2 min capture period
