saalisuhteiden
Saalisuhteet, commonly referred to in ecology as predator–prey relationships, describe interactions where one organism, the predator, hunts, captures, and consumes another, the prey. These interactions are a central mechanism shaping population dynamics, community structure, and energy flow through ecosystems.
Dynamics of saalisuhteiden are often described by functional responses, which describe how a predator’s feeding rate
Predator strategies vary, from specialists that rely on a single prey species to generalists that switch among
Ecological consequences of saalisuhteet include trophic cascades, where changes at one trophic level propagate through the
