Commensalism

Reintroducing the wolves has greatly impacted the park by decreasing the elk population which increased the growth of willows and benefited the beavers that maintained the river. The effects of the reintroduction of wolves is an example of interrelatedness because it directly impacts everything in its environment. Not necessarily connected directly, but it was more of a cause and effect. Redwoods was the chosen ecosystem. I do agree that redwoods should be the state’s ecosystem because they are

to wait for the larvae to hatch and eat their way out. A mutualism example is like the desert bee and a cactus, the bee depends on the cactus for food the cactus depends on the bee to pollinate for reproduction. Both benefit from this exchange. Commensalism is like when the Wren cactus makes its nest in the Cholla cactus to protect itself, the Cholla cactus is not changed by this and does not

Bristle worms are a type of worm that is in the group of segmented worms. They are in the Phylum Annelida. The scientific name of the bristle worm is Polychaete. These worms “rule the sea”. They’re at least 10,000 different species of bristle worms that live everywhere in the sea. They can be in open ocean, coral reefs, or by deep hydrothermal vents. The bristle worm reproduces both sexually and asexually. They produce sexually by releasing an egg in the water and then fertilize it with sperm. They

types of symbiotic relationships include mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism. Mutualism is the relationship between two individuals of different species in which both individual species benefit. The aforementioned clownfish and sea anemone share a mutualistic relationship. The clownfish provides the anemone protection against anemone-eating fish and, in return, the anemone provides a home for the clownfish safe from predators. Commensalism is the relationship between two organisms of different

for the animals to live safely and not get trapped. There are also many more problems which we try to constantly solve. The ocean has many relationships between various animals, but one of the symbiotic relationships in the ocean is commensalism between the clown fish and sea anemones. In this relationship, the clown

between evolution, disease, and human health.. Moalem attempts to tackle the questions that drive the biological world’s exploration of evolutionary disease. Is the human relationship with disease not a simple case of parasitism, but a that of commensalism or as far as mutualism? Does the way the scientific community view desease change our knowledge of history and evolution? Could disease itself be what fuels change in not only our past but our future? In Moalem efforts to

Puerto Rico is built from a volcano. So along the coast of Puerto Rico, there are many coral reefs. This island I chose to look at, is called Desecheo Island or Isla de Desecheo. It 's just of the coast of Puerto Rico. The coral reefs in the island are continental reefs according to geomorphologists( people who study physical features of the Earth’s surface). It is a fringing reef around the coast of the island and a shelf reef beyond that. In the fringing reef, the depth of the reef is mixed between

Exam 1 Review BIO 130: Introduction to Environmental Science Unit 1 Be able to define an environmental factor. There are two types (condition and resource). What is the difference between a condition and a resource? Be able to categorize particular environmental factors as conditions OR resources (for example, temperature is a condition and not a resource). Be able to rank from smallest to largest: ecosystem, landscape, biome, biosphere Be able to rank from smallest to largest (in terms

The wild Boar came solely from domestic stock brought to North America by the european settlers and explorers. Hernando de Soto ‘the true father of the pork industry brought the first pigs to america in 1539. As pig herds grew….the explorers used the pigs for eating fresh meat and for salt and preserved pork as well. Also the american indians were so fond of the taste of the pork that they also tried attacking the people which resulted in the most assaults on their expedition.Some of the methods

1. If an endangered species such as the Santa River Woolly Star were to become extinct, what effects might this have on other species? The community of organisms will be greatly affected if the Santa River Woolly Star were to become extinct. The Woolly Star is an interwoven strand in a crossing of organisms that are all dependent upon one another for survival. The Woolly Star also stabilizes the sand after flooding which has a [positive effect on other organisms. 2. What do the J- and S- shaped
