Coevolution: • A change in the genetic composition of one species (or group) in response to a genetic change in another • Examples: – Predator/prey (Ex. Lion & Gazelle) – Competitive species (Ex. College Admissions) Symbiosis: • A relationship between 2 or more species where one lives in or on another species. • 3 different types. 1. Mutualism: • Benefits both species in a relationship. (like when you have mutual respect for someone). • Example: Aphids and ants • Legumes and Nitrogen-Fixating Bacteria: Bacteria live in the roots of certain plants like soy beans. They take nitrogen out of the air and make it usable for the plants. Both benefit from the relationship. Flowering plants and pollinators: Pollinators are given food and The plants are able to reproduce Both benefit from the relationship. 2. Commensalism • One partner benefits without any effect to the other. Example: Epiphytic plants grow on other plants to reach sunlight. The other plants are not affected by their presence. 3. Parasitism: • One species hurts the other species. One species can be killed after a certain amount of time. • Example: Human and bacteria infections. Under your notes number 1-4 You will answer mutualism, parasitism, or commensalism for the next 4 examples given. • Example 1: In a marine environment algae can be found living on coral. Algae provides the coral with inorganic nutrients and the coral provides the algae with shelter. Mutualism • Example 2: Cats can become infested with fleas. The fleas bite and drink the blood of the cat for food. Parasitism • Some fruits hitch-hike on the fur of animals. This allows the fruit and seeds of the plant to be dispersed around the area.

Mutualism: When the bees spread pollen it helps • • the flowers reproduce. Flowers need pollen to make new seeds. The bees in return get nectar. So both benefit its MUTUAL. 2. Parasitism: One species is harmed, the dog, and the heartworms get food from the dog and are able to live and reproduces. Therefore the dog is hurt and the heartworm benefits. 3. Mutualism: The mites have a place to live and feed and the millipedes are kept clean. There for the relationship is MUTUAL, both benefit. Word 1. Cooperative Relationship *(like when we cooperate, or when we work with a horse to plow a field) 2. Competitive Relationships *(like when football teams compete for a championship) Definition 1. A relationship where species or individuals work together to survive (capture prey, gather food, protection). 2. A relationship where species or individuals compete for resources such as food, water, land, and mates. Competitive and Cooperative Relationships: • Remember Mutualism, Commensalism, and Parasitism? • Which one represents a cooperative relationship? Think, Pair, Share • 1. Write Cooperative on one side of a piece of paper and competitive on the other side. • 2. Share your answer with the person next to you. • 3. Hold the paper up silently for the teacher to see. • 4. Smile when you get the correct answer! Competitive or Cooperative? • Eagles need a vast amount of area to feed themselves and their young.
