The Symbiotic Relationship Between Sea Anemones And Clown Birds

Commensalism is when one species can benefit from a relationship and not hurt the other. There are four different main types; chemical, inquilinism, metabiosis and phoresy. Chemical commensalism is most often observed between bacteria. It involves the species of one bacteria feeding on the chemicals produced or the waste products of the other bacteria. Inquilinism involves one species using the body of another organism as a platform or living space while the host does not benefit or is harmed. Metabiosis occurs when one species unintentionally creates a home for another species through one of its normal life activities. A phoresy takes place when one organism attaches to another organism specifically for the purpose of gaining transportation. An example of commensalism (inquilinism) is barnacles and whales. Barnacles are non-moving and they rely on currents to bring them food. Some barnacles attach themselves to whales in order to help them live. They can benefit as they are then transported over the ocean which exposes them to more feeding oppurtunities. The whale neither benefits or is harmed by the barnacles.

There are three forms of symbiotic relationships namely mutualism, commensalism and parasitism. The partners in a symbiotic relationship may either benefit from, be unaffected by, or be harmed by the kind of relationship that exists between them, (Berg 2007). Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship in which both the partners benefit from the relationship, (Berg 2007). Commensalism is a symbiotic relationship whereby one party benefits while the other party is neither harmed nor benefits, (Berg 2007). Parasitism is a symbiotic relationship in which one party benefits while the other is harmed, (Berg 2007).

Harbor seals do not have many relationships, however they have two very important mutualistic-symbiotic relationships. Harbor seals share a mutualistic-symbiotic relationship with eagles. Eagles will eat the seals leftovers, which gives the eagle a meal, and gets rid of scraps that may attract unwanted animals. Harbor seals will also work together to achieve something, usually capturing large amounts of prey, creating a mutualistic relationship. Also harbor seals often

In all symbiotic relationships, one of the species involved in benefited. In Mutualism, both are benefited, in Parasitism one is harmed by the other’s gain, is commensalism one is not affected by the other’s gain. In a Cooperative relationship, both are working together to achieve a common goal. In Predation, one organism is preyed upon by another, who will most likely use the organism for food.

My species is the Ocellaris Clownfish! This is the one that looks like Nemo on Finding Nemo. Its body is an oval shape and has three vertical white stripes outlined with a fine black line. They are saltwater fish and live in an anemone. They live in a core habitat. They have symbiotic relationship with the sea anemone. The anemone gets pesits it doesn't want living on it off of it, and the clown fish gets protection from the tentacles of the anemone. Young clownfish have difficulty finding an anemone to live in. The young clownfish begins at the bottom of the social ladder when it enters an anemone. It is often the victim of aggression by other clownfish. Clownfish are a very social group. They like to live in colonies.There are two types of

This research aims at explaining more about this creatures and exposing their unique relationship with human beings. The study will focus exclusively on the similarities since the differences are

The coyote and badger is a great example of mutualism. Coyotes normally don’t hunt in packs or in tight knit groups but is often found hunting with the badger. The best example would be hunting in prairie dog fields. The coyote takes the prairie dogs on the ground while scaring other dogs into their holes where the badger is. When the badger hunts underground catching it’s prey it also scares dogs up to the ground where the coyote is. So basically the badger and coyote work together to corner up the prairie dogs and eat until they get their fill.

An entire new world, different from our own exists beneath the surface of our oceans. This life is full of color, shapes, sizes, wonder, and even darkness. Much of this life has yet to be explored but we still know that beneath the waves exist the most beautiful creatures and the most bizarre. Magical areas such as the coral reef and mysterious areas such as the depths of the ocean are homes to over 700,000 species that live in the ocean. This includes the eighty percent of the ocean that has yet to be explored. Even though there may be separate oceans on this planet, they are still interconnected by a body of salt water. No area of the ocean is the same, which brings us to the wonderful fact that so many different species are able to flourish

Instead of sitting in the classroom and watching a presentation about symbiotic relationships. Claudia will be able to use the Edpuzzle website to watch an interactive video about symbiotic relationships. She will also answer some short response questions and multiple choice questions that will evaluate her understanding of the topic. This modification will allow her to stay on top of the assignmets. Therefore, in cases where she has to miss out on a class because of doctor appointments, she can still be caught up with new information that is being presented in the classroom. To use this website, Claudia will use her computer to log into the site where the video will be. She will watch several informative videos about symbiotic relationships

    The change of the relationship from symbiotic to parasitic begins with Sula's return to the Bottoms, signaled by the immense number of robins that entered the town.  Just like Sula, the appearance of the robins came as a

Hi Veri! Your examples are great, especially the example you provided between the spider crab and the algae. Interesting how the algae offers its camouflage to the spider crab, showing a type of warning coloration. I also used the same example to show a commensal relationship, so I completely agree with you that commensalism is real. Great post overall!

The scaled quail has many relationships, ranging from it’s diet to environment. The scaled quail will take the seeds and other plants it finds to survive. In turn, the bird will help spread the seeds, allowing opportunity for new growth for the plant. Overall, this in itself is a mutualistic relationship, as the birds gets a means of food and helps the plant by spreading its seeds.

RATIONALE: The purpose of the lesson is to have students observe and describe how young animals resemble their parents. This lesson will give students the foundation knowledge they need to understand the similarities in physical appearance of young animals and their parents. It will also allow for them to understand differences in different species, through the physical appearances.. The knowledge can be applied to genetics and how young animals are similar and different to their parents in future grades.

1. a) Mutualistic Relationship Ulysses Butterfly and the Flowers they feed from The Ulysses Butterfly has a mutualistic relationship as the butterfly feeds on the nectar and while on the flower collects its pollen. While the butterfly does not collect as much pollen as bees do, with the process of feeding from other flowers the butterfly pollinates as they go. b) Commensal Relationship Platycerium bifurcatum (Staghorn Fern) and Tree Host Staghorn ferns attach to host trees to gather sunlight.
