Match the types of interaction on the left to the descriptions on the right: Amensalism One species suffers, but the other neither benefits nor suffers Commensalism One species benefits, but the other neither benefits nor suffers Predation One species benefits while the other loses resources Mutualism One species benefits while the other suffers death Parasitism Both species lose resources Competition Both species gain resources or survive better Coevolution Each species adapts to the presence of the other

Determine the kind of interactive behaviour between two species with populations $N_{1}$ and $N_{2}$ that is implied by the model $$ \begin{aligned} &\frac{d N_{1}}{d t}=r_{1} N_{1}\left[1-\frac{N_{1}}{K_{1}+b_{12} N_{2}}\right] \\ &\frac{d N_{2}}{d t}=r_{2} N_{2}\left[1-\frac{N_{2}}{K_{2}+b_{21} N_{1}}\right] \end{aligned} $$ Draw the null clines and determine the steady states and their stability. Briefly describe the ecological implications of the results of the analysis.
