In most cases, numerous species share a habitat. The interactions between these populations play a major role in regulating population growth and abundance. All populations occupying the same habitat form a community: populations inhabiting a specific area at the same time. The number of species occupying the same habitat and their relative abundance is known as species diversity.

(c) Foxglove (Digitalis sp.) uses a chemical defense: toxins produced by the plant can cause nausea, vomiting, hallucinations, convulsions, or death when consumed. (d) The North American millipede (Narceus americanus) uses both mechanical and chemical defenses: when threaten…

Their main function is camouflage, with variations by species. Cephalopods can swiftly change color due to muscle activity, while crustaceans and amphibians have fixed shapes that change color through granule movement, regulated by hormones.

When two species have the same role in a community, competitive exclusion will occur, resulting in the local extinction of one species.
