  1. Symbiosis Living Together

  2. Three Types of Symbiosis • Mutualism • both species benefit • Commensalism • one species benefits, the other is unaffected • Parasitism • one species benefits, the other (host) is harmed

  3. Mutualism • Both organisms benefit from the relationship Otters and Kelp The otters help the kelp by eating the sea urchins which endanger it. The kelp provides an anchor for the otters while they sleep.

  4. Lichen • Lichen is really two organisms: algae and fungus. The fungus needs food but cannot make it. The algae makes food but needs some way to keep moist. The fungus forms a crust around the algae which holds in moisture. Both organisms benefit.

  5. The Chital and the Tree-pie • The tree-pies help the chital by stripping the dead velvet from the antlers. This provides them with nourishment Therefore both species are benefiting from this symbiotic behavior.

  6. Cleaner Fish and the Moray Eel • The cleaner fish eats parasites and food bits out of the inside of this moray eel. It gets a meal and is protected from predators by the fierce eel.

  7. Yucca Plants and Yucca Moths • Each type of Yucca plant can only be pollinated by a specific kind of Yucca moth. • That moth can only live on that kind of Yucca.

  8. Swollen Thorn Acacia Tree and Ants • The tree provides a nursery for the ants in the thorns and makes special food for the ant babies. • In return the ants sting and attack any other plants or insects that try to invade the tree.

  9. More Mutualism

  10. Commensalism The cattle egret and cows • One species benefits while the other is unaffected The cattle help the egret who look for grasshoppers and beetles that are raised by the cows – relationship = ? Now and then the egret will sit on the back of a cow, looking for ticks and flies = ?

  11. Barnacles and Whales • Barnacles need a place to anchor. They must wait for food to come their way. Some barnacles hitch a ride on unsuspecting whales who deliver them to a food source. This does not affect the whale in any way. • Why is this an example of commensalism?

  12. Oak Gall Wasps and Oak Trees • The oak gall wasp stings the oak tree. • The tree then grows a GALL which is a nest for the wasp’s babies. • When the larva hatch, they eat their way out of the gall. • This does not help or hurt the oak tree.

  13. Commensalism Some sea birds follow great white sharks to get the leftovers after an attack on seals f The clownfish benefits from the anemone by hiding from predators. g

  14. Commensalism Damselfly mites hitch a ride with the damsel fly. f Titan trigger fish move rocks and help other fish get food from beneath the rocks. g

  15. Sea Cucumber & Silver Pearlfish… name the relationship http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=sea+cucumber+and+pearl+fish+relationship&view=detail&mid=668818ADE56D3F924DA5668818ADE56D3F924DA5&first=0&FORM=NVPFVR (1:22 min.) What type of symbiotic relationship exists between the sea cucumber and the silver pearlfish? Explain your answer. Why is the relationship could not be another type of symbiotic relationship.

  16. Relationship Between Hippo and Fish (Commensalism & Mutualism) • http://animal-animal-animal.blogspot.com/2011/06/hippo-and-fish-symbiosis.html (3. min. National Geographic Clip relating hippo and fish (carp fish, cyclid fish, barble fish symbiotic relationships) • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6d0v8yme3M (3:53) w/o poop • Under what circumstance (s) does the relationship demonstrate mutualism? • Under what circumstance (s) does the relationship demonstrate commensalism?

  17. Parasitism • One species benefits while the other (host) is harmed Mistletoe is an aerial parasite that has no roots of its own and lives off the tree that it attaches itself to. Without that tree, it would die. It slowly chokes out the life of the host tree.

  18. Bedbugs • Bedbugs are small, nocturnal parasites that come out of hiding at night to feed on unsuspecting humans.  They feed exclusively on blood!  Their bites often result in an allergic reaction.

  19. Tapeworms • The definitive host of the cucumber tapeworm is a dog or a cat (occasionally a human). Fleas and lice are the intermediate host. the dog or cat becomes contaminated when the eggs are passed in the feces, and the flea or louse ingests the eggs.  The dog or cat (or human) is infected when they ingest a flea or louse.  Hence the importance of controlling fleas on your pet! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i80DvTmLPeE 10 Incredibly Dangerous Parasites YouTube (2:49)
