Trophic Interaction

Here is a trophic interaction between a bee (herbivore) and a plant (autotroph). It a mutual interaction, the bee gains food from the plant and the plant has a pollinator to spread its pollen.

 

I think the most influential species in my location would be the pollinators such as bees and butterflies. They are important for the dispersal of pollens for new plants providing more food across the location. If they were removed, plants are not easily spread and reproduced limiting resources for many others such as birds and some mammals. Invasive species will have a negative effect, they might destroy the plant species or keeping the plant all to themselves.

 

1) The fungi can ultimately be limited by the weather, light from sun, and nutrients.

2) The banana slug can ultimately be limited by predation and vegetation.

3) The tree frog can ultimately be limited by predation and vegetation.
