Figure 19.17 One form of mimicry is when a harmless species mimics the coloration of a harmful species, as is seen with the (a) wasp (Polistes sp.) and the (b) hoverfly (Syrphus sp.).

Population size, growth, reproduction, and regulation all characterize the populations of species that wildlife biologists study. In fact, a solid understanding of these parameters is critical for managing any wildlife species.

A new study looks at seven species over 25 years and finds that overfishing exacerbates natural boom-and-bust cycles of the fish, which are not only a food source for humans but for countless larger marine animals. Diagram exponential population growth and logistic population growth explain the circumstances under which each type of growth is expected.

This is an example of a commensal relationship, in which one species (the bird) benefits, while the other (the tree) neither benefits nor is harmed. (credit: “Hanay”/Wikimedia Commons)
