    Study Notes

    Symbiosis Overview

    • Symbiosis refers to interactions between two different species.
    • There are five main types of symbiotic relationships: mutualism, commensalism, parasitism, predation, and competition.

    Mutualism

    • Both species benefit from the relationship.
    • Example: Clownfish find protection within an anemone while attracting food for the anemone through their presence.
    • Some relationships, like pollination, can be considered mutualistic or commensalistic depending on context.

    Commensalism

    • One species benefits while the other remains unaffected.
    • Example: Carmine Bee Eaters may benefit from their relationship with other species without harming those species.

    Parasitism

    • One organism benefits at the expense of the other, causing harm.
    • Example: Head lice feed on the scalp, harming the host.
    • Example: Mistletoe parasitizes trees, drawing nutrients and harming them.

    Predation

    • Involves one species using another as a food source.
    • This relationship results in the death of one of the organisms involved.

    Competition

    • Occurs when organisms vie for the same limited resources, lowering each other's fitness.
    • Resources include food, water, space, and mates.
    • Individuals competing for the same resources ultimately do not benefit.
