What is an example of a parasite that alters the behavior of the host in animals and plants?
- Parasitic plants that influence the behavior of their host plants
- 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?
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?
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
- Parasitism involves consuming plants, while predation does not
- Predation involves killing and consuming prey, while parasitism generally does not kill the host (correct)
