In some mutualistic relationships, a species may be so dependent on its partner that it can't survive with it. This is called obligate mutualism. The animal-algal mutualism that exists between a coral polyp and a zooxanthellae is an example of obligate mutualism in coral reefs. The coral blea...
CORAL reef conservationHOSPITAL housekeepingMutualism is a form of symbiosis whereby both parties benefit from the relationship. An example is cleaning symbiosis, which has been observed in terrestrial and marine environments. The most recognized form of marine cleaning symbiosis is that of ...
In exchange, certain ant species protect the aphids from parasites and predators. Coral and Zooxanthellae Algae –The vibrant colors of reef-building corals are obtained from the zooxanthellae algae with which they have a mutualistic relationship. Coral begins as a tiny free-swimming larva that ...
Droughts are increasing in severity and frequency, yet the mechanisms that strengthen ecosystem resilience to this stress remain poorly understood. Here, we test whether positive interactions in the form of a mutualism between mussels and dominant cordgr
Under tidally restricted conditions, uniquely both adults and juveniles were part鈥恡ime facultative cleaners, pecking on Isopora palifera coral. The mutualism was not completely abandoned, with adults also wandering across the reef in search of clients, rather than waiting at fixed sit...
(a) In systems that lack spatial heterogeneity, the fitness of both symbionts and hosts will increase bilaterally before any common resource becomes exhausted. However, the fitness increase of symbionts will be at the expense of host fitness at the point resources are fully exploited. (b) In ...

Consolidated substrate appears to be at a premium for sessile coral reef inhabitants. Studies of tropical reef faunas suggest that organisms are competing for space in a number of ways (e. g., Lang, 1971; Connell, 1976; Jackson and Buss, 1975; Sebens, 1976). Many sessile organisms, ...
