It’s early morning,
We are leaving the rocky coast of
MAINE
Grab your souvenirs and
let’s go!
Next stop, upper peninsula of Michigan
MICHIGAN or BUST
A quick stop at Niagara Falls
Back on the bus!
There was a small commotion on the bus as one of the students feet were itching!
This is an example of PARASTISM:
The fungus lives happily in the warm, moist environment of the
toes, but it causes harm (and embarrassment)
to the host
Turns out he had a terrible case of Athlete’s foot
Our teacher took this opportunity to teach us about other Symbiotic Relationships.Mutualism: both species live
together, both benefitEx: E. coli bacteria living in the intestines of humans
Lichen: a fungus and algae living together
As the bus driver said, at least it wasn’t a parasite like a tape worm!
Commensalism: One benefits,
one organism is not affectedEx: Barnacles on a whale

something???
A widespread species of small woodpecker.• Makes shallow holes in trees to get sap •Other bird species use these holes.
Because of this, the sapsucker can be considered a "keystone" species, one whose existence is vital for the maintenance of a community.
