  6. Symbiosis • Symbiosis-any relationship in which two species live closely together and at least one of the species benefits. • There are 3 main types of symbiosis • Mutualism • Commensalism • Parasitism

  7. Mutualism (+,+) • Mutualism (+,+) is a relationship where both species benefit. ex. An oxpecker rides and snacks aboard an impala. The oxpecker eat ticks living on the impala’s ears. This interaction is an example of mutualism because both organisms benefit.

  8. Commensalism (+,0) • Commensalism- a relationship in which one species benefits ant the other species is neither helped nor harmed • This is not very common in nature because two species are usually helped or harmed a little by any interaction

  9. Parasitism (+, -) • Parasitism (+,-) A relationshipthatinvolvesoneorganism living with, on, orinsideanotherorganism and harmingit. • Ex. Fleas and ticks on a dog

  10. Parasitism • Parasite- The organism that benefits from parasitism • Usually smaller than the host • The parasite does not usually kill the organism it feeds on. If the host dies, the parasite could lose its source of food or shelter • Host- The organism that the parasite lives on or in

  11. Apply It! Classify each interaction as mutualism, commensalism, or parasitism. • Interaction 1: A remora fish attaches itself to the underside of a shark without harming the shark, and eats leftover bits of food from the shark’s meals. • Interaction 2: A vampire bat drinks the blood of horses. • Interaction 3: A bee pollinates a flower.
