Mimicry.Not all organisms actually evolve these types of defenses. Instead, some rely on mimicking those that do in hopes it will confuse predators. For example, the venomous coral snake has distinctive red, yellow and black striping that acts as warning coloration against predators. Other snakes ...

Mutualism is a relationship between two organisms of different species that provides each with needed resources, like shelter, food, or protection from predators. One commo...

Lycorine belongs to pyrrolo-phenanthridine alkaloid within the class of isoquinoline alkaloids and is one of the major components of the anti-cancer alkaloids present in the plants in the family Amaryllidaceae3,4. Moreover, L. aurea is also a good groundcover and ornamental flower plant. Its ...
Social parasites refer to parasites which obtain benefits from an entire social colony of an organism. For example, certain organisms use mimicry in order to live inside the hives of social animals (e.g., ants, bees, etc.) where they use the host organisms for resources—such as food, tra...
The reproductive structures of algae are dispersed actively by means of flagella, or passively, by means of water currents. Likewise in the most primitive terrestrial plants, dispersal may be active or passive, but as well as water currents, air currents
