Study Notes
Lesson Objective
- Predict patterns of interactions among organisms across multiple ecosystems.
Interactions Within Ecosystems
- An interactive presentation, a science probe, helps assess prior knowledge of the lesson's content about relationships within ecosystems.
- An entry task asks students to determine the relationship between cleaner shrimp and a moray eel.
Symbiotic Relationships
- Symbiosis is a close, long-term relationship between two species, often involving an exchange of food or energy.
- Symbiotic relationships occur when two organisms live in direct contact and form a relationship, some species are almost always found together.
- Symbiosis Barbel fish and hippos: the fish follow and groom the hippos to eat parasites on their skin and mouths. Both organisms benefit from this interaction.
Types of Symbiosis
-
Commensalism: One species benefits but the other is neither harmed nor helped. Examples include epiphytes growing on trees.
-
Epiphytes grow on trees for support and sunlight, while the trees are unaffected.
-
Parasitism: One species benefits, and the other is harmed. The larvae of the hunting wasp is a parasite. The female wasp stings a spider to paralyze it and lays eggs in its body. The larvae then hatch and eat the spider.
-
Mutualism: Both species benefit. Clownfish receive protection from sea anemones, and the anemones gain energy from the clownfish's waste.
Other Relationships
-
Cooperative Relationships: Animals, like elephants, cooperate to raise young and watch for predators. Squirrel monkeys also benefit by living in groups to hunt for food and watch for danger.
-
Predator-Prey Relationships: One species (predator) eats the other (prey). Examples include ospreys catching fish. Predators help manage prey populations, preventing overgrowth.
-
Competitive Relationships: Organisms compete for the same resources, like sunlight, grazing areas, water, or food. Examples, trees competing for sunlight and wolves competing with ravens for meat.
Homework
- Examine three relationships in communities.
- Describe observed characteristics of each relationship.
- Complete a lesson check on interactions within ecosystems.
