answered-by-expert Expert Answer

Three types of interspecific interactions are

(i) Competition: It is a type of interaction in which both the species suffer due to limited resources. Example: Carnivorous animals compete for prey

(ii) Parasitism: It is a type of interaction in which one species is benefitted and the other species is harmed. Example: Malarial parasite inside the female Anopheles mosquito causes malaria in humans.

(iii) Mutualism: In this type of interaction, both the species are benefitted. Example: The sea anemone and hermit crab stay in mutual relationship with each other.
