Symbiosis relationship in which one species lives on

Symbiosis: relationship in which one species lives on, in or near another species and affects its survival. Symbiotic Relationships

Commensalism: One species benefits and the other is unaffected (+ o) Epiphytes: A plant, such as a tropical orchid that grows on another plant upon which it depends for mechanical support but not for nutrients. Also called aerophyte, air plant.

Commensalism: One species benefits and the other is unaffected (+ o) Remora fish catching a ride on a shark. It goes everywhere with the shark to get the scraps from the sharks last meal.

Commensalism: One species benefits and the other is unaffected (+ o) Barnacles attached to a whale. The barnacles do not hurt the host but just go along for the ride and to gather food. http: //www. mesa. edu. au/friends/seashores/barnacles. html

Parasitism: One species benefits, the other is harmed (+ -) A Mosquito getting a warm meal.

Parasitism: One species benefits, the other is harmed (+ -) A bed bug sucking the blood out of it's host.

Bot Fly Eggs • Egg: The egg of the bot fly is creamy colored and oval in shape, and is attached to different species of blood-feeding insects captured by the female bot fly. • The eggs, usually attached to the ventral side of the body, hatch when the insect carrying the eggs begins to blood feed on a warm-blooded host.

Parasitism: One species benefits, the other is harmed (+ -) Bot Fly Larva Adult Bot Fly

Bot Fly: Monsters Inside Me Watch: Monsters inside me: botflies

Host of Bot Fly The most common hosts for the human bot fly are cattle and dogs. However, they are found in many warm-blooded animals including buffalo, cattle, cats, dogs, humans, monkeys, pigs, rabbits, and sheep.

Mutualism: Both species benefit (+ +) • Lichens are pioneer species that grow where no other plant life can survive (on trees, rocks, and even buildings) – Lichens are a fungus (which is the part you see) thriving within the fungi is an algae that is totally dependent upon the fungi for it's survival. – In return for comfortable living quarters, the algae produce food for the fungus via photosynthesis. – The fungus can not survive with out this energy source so we have the example of a classic obligatory symbiotic relationship. – This also explains why lichens can be found growing in the middle of a rock in the middle of nowhere.

Mutualism: Both species benefit (+ +)

Mutualism: Both species benefit (+ +) The Egyptian Plover bird cleaning the food stuck in the crocodiles teeth.

Mutualism: Both species benefit (+ +) The bee spreads pollen from flower to flower, bees produce 1/3 of the worlds food supply. Did you know: Our bees are in danger and are suffering from CCD http: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=EEY 9 tc. ZS_e. Y
