Answer:

Predator-prey relationship

Explanation:

A predator prey relationship is one in which interactions usually with consequential effects occurs between two different species. One species usually feed on the other. The species being fed on are the prey while the species being fed is the predator. In this context, the prey is the ant and the predator s are the ant lions.

Answer:

The relationship between the ants and ant lions is an example of predator-prey co-evolution.

Explanation:

Co-evolution refers to cases where two (or more) species reciprocally affect each other's evolution. Co-evolution is likely to happen when different species have close ecological interactions with one another. These ecological relationships include: predator/prey and parasite/host. The  ecological  relationship between pit-digging larval ant lions and their common prey, ants, is an example of how the specific ecological niche that species inhabit imposes selection pressures leading to specific behavioral adaptations. Ant lions rely on multiple strategies to capture prey with a minimal expenditure of energy and extraordinary efficiency while ants employ several different strategies for avoiding capture, including rescue of trapped nestmates.

Suggest one advantage and one disadvantage of<br>using a dichotomous key to identify something.​
prisoha [69]
Advantage: Dichotomous keys are very useful because they allow non-expert users to identify organisms by directing them to look at the known, important organisms. Disadvantage: Disadvantage of dichotomous keys is that if a single wrong decision is made at any juncture, a wrong identification will result. Sometimes it becomes obvious that an error has been made, and you can retrace your steps until you get back on the right track, but this is not always the case
