Lake Hayward (Connecticut)

Coordinates: 41°31′21″N 72°19′47″W / 41.5226°N 72.3296°W / 41.5226; -72.3296

Lake Hayward is a 1.5 mile long, 0.5 mile wide spring-fed lake in the northern section of East Haddam, Connecticut. It was originally called Long Pond. With four private beaches, this picturesque lake stays clean by not allowing motorboats with gasoline engines. The west side of the lake is overseen and monitored by the POALH (Property Owners Association of Lake Hayward), [1]. It is a quaint get-away spot with both year-round and summer homes in the area.

Learn Biology: Community Ecology - Interspecific Interactions

Parasitism is an interspecific interaction where species A benefits, but species B is harmed. In this case, the parasite lives and feeds on its host, thus decreasing the host's ability to survive, but not killing it. Parasites likely make up half of all living species and parasitic interaction is the way that these species survive.http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/129392/community-ecology/70602/Interspecific-interactions-and-the-organization-of-communities#

Examples of common parasites include lice, bed bugs and fleas, which attach to species such as humans and other mammals to feed on their blood. Though not fatal, these parasites easily spread from one host to another and can cause itching and other discomforts.http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/headlice.html
