Abstract. The article reflects the results of the analysis of mutualistic relationships in wildlife in the context. Examples of mutualism in wildlife are found everywhere. Mutualistic connections are considered in the work on the example of lichens (fungus and algae connection) and intestinal microbiota with the human body. The species diversity of lichens is quite large, as is their habitat, which is achieved due to the advantages that the mutualistic relationship provides. A striking example of mutualism Examples of mutualism among predators are much less common. The mutualistic interactions considered in the work clearly demonstrate that it is necessary to consider natural relationships in wildlife from the point of view of a systematic approach, comprehensively and voluminously. Since the components form an interconnected system, it is necessary to study and understand them in relation to network interaction, and not in isolation or in a limited subset of the system. It can be concluded that the network is, in fact, more than just a metaphor, it recognizes the inherent interconnectedness of ecosystem interactions. Networks consist of a set of objects with direct transactions (connections) between these objects. Although the exchange is a discrete transfer, these transactions, taken as a whole, connect the direct and indirect parts into an interconnected web, giving rise to a network structure. Thus, it is quite appropriate to consider interconnected systems as networks because of the powerful exploratory advantage that can be gained by using network analysis tools: graph theory, matrix algebra, and simulation, to name but a few.
