  • Parasitic wasps that manipulate the behavior of caterpillars (correct)
  • Parasitic nematodes that affect the behavior of insects
  • Fungi that control the behavior of ants

    • In the context of intraspecific competition and exploitation, what does the exclusion of birds and bats in a tropical forest experiment suggest?

  • The presence of birds and bats leads to a decrease in arthropod herbivory
  • Birds and bats contribute to controlling arthropod herbivory in the forest (correct)
  • Birds and bats have no significant impact on arthropod herbivory in the forest
  • Arthropod herbivory increases in the absence of birds and bats

    • What is the primary difference between predation and parasitism?

  • Predation only occurs in animals, while parasitism occurs in plants
  • Predation and parasitism both involve killing the host, but in different ways
