This article is about mutualistic relationships in nature, which are close associations formed between pairs of species that benefit both parties involved. The article provides eight examples of such relationships including gobies and pistol shrimps, ants and aphids, woolly bats and pitcher plants, corals and zooxanthellae algae, oxpeckers and larg...
A close association formed between pairs of species, including parasitism, commensalism and mutualism. Mutualism is a type where all species involved benefit from their interactions.
Gobies form mutualistic relationships with pistol shrimps by staying close together outside the shared burrow and using chemical cues to hide in the burrow when predators are near. The shrimp benefits through an increase in food such as fish feces or parasites on its body.
Ants feed on honeydew produced by aphids and protect them from predators and parasites while some aphid morphs drink ant larvae's body fluid instead of being milked for honeydew.
Woolly bats roost in Nepenthes hemsleyana pitcher plant which catches guano produced by the mammal providing it with nutrients needed to survive.
Coral acquires zooxanthellae algae that produce synthetised sugars for coral to feed on while oxygenating it during photosynthesis; pollution can cause corals to expel their algae leading to coral bleaching which could be fatal if not enough food particles are grabbed from surroundings.
Oxpeckers pick at parasites like ticks and blood-sucking flies on large grazing mammals' bodies, raise alarm when danger is imminent but may also dig into wounds causing harm; not a perfect example of mutualism yet still beneficial for both parties involved .
- Swimming shape: Sharks, dolphins and ichthyosaurs.
- Camera-type eyes: Mammals, octopuses and squids.
- Opposable thumbs: Primates, opossums, koalas, giant pandas and chameleons.
- The power of flight: Birds, bats, moths and many more.
- Domain. Plural: Domains. The domain is the top taxa in the biological classification system and sits above the kingdom taxa. There are three domains of life.
- Kingdom. Plural: Kingdoms. The kingdom is the second taxa in the biological classification system. It sits below domain and above phylum. There are six kingdoms.
- Phylum / Division. Plural: Phyla / Divisions. Phylum and division are the third taxa in the biological classification system. They sits below kingdom and above class.
- Class. Plural: Classes. Class is the fourth taxa in the biological classification system. It sits below phylum and above order. The ‘class’ taxa is where things get interesting as we can start to see distinct clusters of recognizable lifeforms at this level.
Mutualistic interactions are mutually beneficial species interactions. Plant-pollinator mutualisms are particularly important, and involve nearly 170,000 plant and 200,000 animal species ...
