Competition occurs when two or more organisms vie for the same resource, such as food. Here, red - tailed hawks and coyotes both hunt rabbits, so they are competing for the same food resource. Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship where both organisms benefit. Parasitism is where one organism benefits at the expense of another. Symbiosis is a general term for close and long - term biological interactions, which includes mutualism, parasitism, and commensalism.
