Community Ecology: Interspecies Interactions: Crash Course Biology #6

Community ecology is the study of interactions between different species of living things, and lets ecologists examine the effects of predator-prey relationships, parasites, and mutually beneficial interactions. In this episode of Crash Course Biology, we’ll examine the myriad interspecies interactions with examples, see how keystone species impact their environment and explore how communities rebuild when they are disrupted, through the lens of the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens.

I had to ditch my parents' dentist. He was a great guy and totally competent, but he aimed for efficiency and I needed someone that was more gentle and communicative. If a dentist doesn't work for you it's 100% okay to choose a different one.

[SlowToe]

Great system, pity about the human interruption.

Lucid and interesting explanation... !

Maybe the real friends are the friends we made along the way.
