Create a Concept Map that illustrates how species interact in communities. Use examples to explain commensalism, competition, consumption, and mutualism; connect using these terms and linking terms.
terms: "both species benefit", "commensalism", "competition", "consumption", "mutualism", "negative effect on fitness", "neutral effect on fitness", "one species benefits- the other is unaffected", "one species eats part or all of another", "positive effect on fitness", and "two species use the same resources"
linking terms: "causes a" and "occurs when"
