- the direct or indirect interaction of organisms that leads to a change in fitness when the organisms share the same resource.
- any force that affects the size of a population of living things regardless of the density of the population
- all the biotic organisms on Earth and the ecosystems they inhabit, including the oceans and the atmosphere.
- an organism that consumes all or part of the body of another—living or recently killed—organism, which is its prey.
- refers to the role of a species in its ecosystem.
- the sum total mass of living organisms such as plants, animals, in a specific unit of area or volume of habitat
- the living aspects of the environment. They consist of other organisms, including members of the same and different species.

- an individual living thing.
- all of the populations of different species that live in the same area and interact with one another. A community is composed of all of the biotic factors of an area.
- the sequence of transfers of matter and energy in the form of food from organism to organism.
- factors that affect the per capita growth rate of a population differently depending on how dense the population already is.
- animals or plants from another region of the world that don't belong in their new environment.
- an organism that helps define an entire ecosystem.
- the physical environment in which a species lives and to which it is adapted.
- a group of ecosystems with the same climate and dominant biotic communities found in different locations throughout the biosphere.
- any animal that serves as a food source for another animal.
- all of the food chains in an ecosystem.
- the nonliving aspects of the environment. They include factors such as sunlight, soil, temperature, and water.
- a group of organisms belonging to the same species (a group of individuals that can breed to produce fertile young) that live in the same area and interact with one another.
- the study of how living organisms interact with each other and with their environment.
