    Mutualism is defined as a symbiotic relationship in which both organisms benefit from each other. However, should scientists go as far as to state that mutualism is always a beneficial behavior? Are scientists misunderstanding the concept of paracitism while claiming it is as mutualism in disguise, instead? Not all cases of claimed “mutualistic behavior” are truly “mutualistic. Some examples of true mutualism are Oxpecker birds that land on animals such as zebras, and their role is to eat tics and

    Ants have assisted plants in many ways: providing defense mechanisms to protect the plant, or providing a dispersal mechanism for plant seeds. Also known as myrmecochory, ants that assist plants in seed dispersal are essential for spreading out the location of future plants of the same species and preventing competition between parent and offspring plants, which would result if an offspring grew too close to a parent plant (Warren et al. 2014). But what causes coevolution between two species? In

    Betsy Gladden Evolution Case Study #1 Dr. Amanda Duffus The Evolution of Host-Parasite Relationships Since Darwin’s “dangerous” idea in the nineteenth century, the causes and significances of evolution have been investigated unceasingly. One evident example of evolution is between parasite and host relationships, in which host and parasite partners maximize their own fitness, by evolving to reduce the fitness of the other. Parasites are hypothesized to evolve and cause hosts to

    hominis. The fly attaches the larvae to another insect such as a mosquito and when the mosquito travels and feeds on an animal or human, the eggs hatch and the larvae burrows itself into it’s skin. 2.

This means that this relationship is based on reciprocity
