Populations

Mr. Anderson discusses symbiosis, a key concept in biology, explaining how populations interact through various types of relationships such as mutualism, commensalism, and competition. He highlights the importance of feedback mechanisms in maintaining ecosystem stability, using examples like wolves and elk in Yellowstone. The video also covers the impact of invasive species, such as kudzu, on ecosystems and how human actions can disrupt natural balances.
