Our goal for today is to answer these questions:Slide3
What is symbiosis?
the act of living togetherSlide4
What it means:
Two organisms that live together
Temporarily or for a longer time
At least one of the organisms

from the relationship
SymbiosisSlide5

Parasitism
Mutualism
both organisms

Acacia Plant & Ants
The ants lay eggs on acacia tree so they get a nice safe place for their eggs. The acacia covers the infected area with brown flesh (called a gall.) The plant has to use valuable resources to create the gall.

parasitismSlide12
Anemone & Anemone Fish
mutualism
This fish lives its entire adult life among the tentacles of a bulb- tentacle sea anemone. Anemone fish do not get stung by the anemone as would most other fish so they get protection from predators. The fish often drop food scraps which the anemones can eat.

Grizzly Bear & Salmon
The Grizzly Bear braces itself as it waits for salmon to jump upstream to their breeding grounds. The bears rely on the salmon for nutrition.

Boxer Crab & Anemones
This Boxer Crab carries a pair of stinging anemones in its claws, which it uses to defend itself from predators. The anemones get to move around which increases their food supply

The remora attaches itself to the shark and saves energy since it doesn’t have to swim, and it gets to snack on the sharks kills. The shark doesn’t get anything

Elk
A battle or contest between individuals, groups, animals, etc. for territory, a niche, or a location of resources. It arises whenever two or more parties strive for a goal which cannot be shared.Images from Wikimedia

This tiny emperor shrimp is riding along on the back of a sea cucumber (a long worm-like starfish relative) while it crawls along a sandy bottom. The shrimp gets to travel around under the protection of its much larger partner, and the sea cucumber doesn't seem to mind

Moray Eel & Cleaner Fish
This moray eel has a small fish cleaning between its teeth. The eel gets a clean mouth while the cleaner fish gets a nice meal.

Cattle & Cattle Egrets
As these cattle walk around eating grass they stir
up lots of insects. The egrets hang around and get a yummy meal of insects.

Southern Elephant Seals
Male on male combat occurs in many species including serious battles between male southern elephant seals (Mirounga
leonina
) which use their teeth to gash competitors.Images from Wikimedia

Clown Fish & Anemone
This clown fish swims in the anemone and gets protection, since its predators will get stung. The anemone is unaffected.

Antelope & Ox Bird
This ox bird hangs out on the antelope and gets a delicious meal of bugs living on the antelope. The antelope gets rid of parasites.

Loa Loa Worm & Human
This worm infects human the blood stream and gets a nice warm safe home there. The
human may go blind or have other complications as a result.

Goby and Alpheid Shrimp
What symbiotic relationship is this?
mutualism
This alpheid shrimp (on
the right) uses its strong claws like a bulldozer to create a burrow in the sand. The shrimp is nearly blind. It relies upon its partner, the sharp-eyed goby, to warn of danger. When a potential predator approaches, both animals disappear quickly into the burrowSlide25
Hawk and Mouse
Birds of prey hunt for small rodents, fish and reptiles high above ground. They have very keen eye sight which allows them to see the small prey scampering through the grass or water.
PredationSlide26
Wrasse & Batfish
Can you see the two cleaner wrasses are
removing parasites from a batfish? One of the wrasses has entered the gill slit of the batfish, and may even enter its
mouth in search of food. The batfish gets a bath and the wrasse gets a meal.

Hummingbird Moth & Flower
This hummingbird moth is drinking the nectar of a flower. The flower gets pollinated (the moth brings pollen from other flowers) and the moth gets a tasty meal.
