Study Notes
Symbiosis
- Symbiosis has three main types: Mutualism, Commensalism, and Parasitism
Mutualism
- Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship where both organisms benefit from each other
- There are two types of Mutualism: Facultative and Obligate
- Facultative Mutualism: both organisms benefit from each other, but they can live independent lives without each other
- Example: relationship between honeybees and flowers
- Obligate Mutualism: both organisms rely on each other to live
- Example: relationship between Yucca plant and Yucca moth
Commensalism
- Commensalism is a type of symbiotic relationship where one organism benefits and the other is unharmed
- Example: relationship between Water buffalos and Egrets
Parasitism
- Parasitism is a type of symbiotic relationship where one organism benefits and the other is harmed
- Example: parasites harming hosts
- Hyper parasitism: other parasites infect and take advantage of parasites
Other Important Concepts
- Interspecific interactions: involve relationships between different species
- Examples: predation, symbiosis, and competition
- Natural Selection: an evolutionary process where nature selects the most beneficial trait in a population for survival and adaptation
- Niche: a particular role of an organism in its habitat
- Niche Separation: observed effect of resource partitioning, where organisms avoid competition in a habitat
- Omnivory: a type of predation where an organism eats both meat and plants
- Predation: a type of interspecific relationship where one organism eats the other for nourishment
- Reproduction: the process of creating offspring in organisms of the same species
- Resource Partition: a phenomenon where organisms split resources in their habitat to avoid competition
- Species: a group of living organisms capable of exchanging genes or interbreeding
