the competition between individuals of different species

Bioaccumulation takes place in a single organism over the span of its life, resulting in a higher concentration in older individuals. Biomagnification takes place as chemicals transfer from lower trophic levels to higher trophic levels within a food web, resulting in a higher concentration in apex predators.

# data[].attributes.body
a nonmutual relationship between two organisms in which one benefits at the expense of the other.

# data[].attributes.body
a relationship between individuals of two species in which one species obtains food or other benefits from the other without either harming or benefiting the latter.

# data[].attributes.body
a type of symbiotic relationship where all species involved benefit from their interactions.

# data[].attributes.body
any relationship or interaction between two dissimilar organisms. The specific kind of symbiosis depends on whether either or both organisms benefit from the relationship.

consists of all the food chains in a single ecosystem.

# data[].attributes.body
A food chain refers to the order of events in an ecosystem, where one living organism eats another organism, and later that organism is consumed by another larger organism. The flow of nutrients and energy from one organism to another at different trophic levels forms a food chain.
