These residents participate in commensal, parasitic and mutualistic relationships with their hosts. The microorganisms that establish more or less permanent residence but do not produce disease under normal conditions are members of the normal microbiota. Others are called the transient microbiota which ...

One of the most common large mammals in the Amazon, sloths are a welcome sight when walking through the rainforest. If you look at the photo above, you can clearly see the strangest feature of this canopy mammal, its green sheen. Algae growing on the sloth’s fur blend the animal into ...
Animals fulfill various roles within ecosystems, from predators that control prey populations to scavengers that clean up dead tissue, preventing the spread of diseases. Many animals also engage in mutualistic relationships with plants, like the fig wasp and the fig tree, where both species depend o...
(Muscatine et al.,1981; Grottoli et al.,2006). Analogously, mixotrophy characterizes sea anemones inhabiting the deep hydrothermal vents, which benefit from the mutualistic relationship with chemosynthetic bacteria (Goffredi et al.,2021). In addition to these variety of feeding modalities, several...
Here, I am interested in how these mutualistic dimensions of cultural burning work to create landscapes that are products of human actions with animals. I want to follow Rose (2005) and Yunkaporta (2019) and their colleagues to explore mutual ecologies of connectivities and interactions – in ...

Why is the relationship between a flowering plant and its pollinator considered mutualistic? What is the advantage of bees being able to thermoregulate compared to other insects? Why haven't plants developed a central nervous system similar to animals? Why are flowering plants con...
The positive effects are probably related to the abundance of a particularly suitable substrate or facilitation, whereas the negative effects may stem from low palatability, poor compatibility with mutualistic partners or strong defence mechanisms (such as allelochemicals) against soil biota. Variation ...
Why have some plants evolved mutualistic relationships with nitrogen fixing-bacteria? a. The bacteria utilize nitrogen to produce energy for the plants; the plants provide the source of the nitrogen for the bacteria. b. The bacteria transform nitrogen int How do plants function to extract ...
