Study Notes
Symbiosis
- Symbiosis is the long-term interaction between two or more species.
- Symbionts are the organisms involved in a symbiotic relationship.
- Obligate symbiosis: One symbiont cannot survive without the other.
- Facultative symbiosis: One symbiont can survive independently.
- Permanent symbiosis: The relationship is continuous throughout the lifespan of the symbionts.
- Temporal symbiosis: The relationship is temporary.
- Ectosymbiosis: Symbiont lives on the surface of the host.
- Endosymbiosis: Symbiont lives inside the host's body.
Types of Symbiosis
- Mutualism: Both symbionts benefit.
- Commensalism: One symbiont benefits, the other is unaffected.
- Parasitism: One symbiont benefits, the other is harmed.
Other Symbiotic Relationships
- Cleptoparasitism: One symbiont steals resources from another.
- Inquilinism: One symbiont uses another's shelter.
- Phoresy: One symbiont is transported by another.
- Epibiosis: One symbiont lives on another.
- Endobiosis: One symbiont lives inside another.
- Nurse effect in ectocommensalism
Symbiosis Mechanisms
- Aggressive: one symbiont uses threat or aggression
- Stealthy: one symbiont steals host resources without being detected.
- Competitive: both symbionts consume resources, with or without aggression.
