RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ORGANISMS Relations between individuals of one
species - intraspecific Relations between individuals of
different species - interspecific
RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ORGANISMS Competition Basic relationship Fight for the life conditions - water, space,
light, food Between individuals of the same species
and other species Among the individuals of one species -
a fight for a territory - singers - competition for a selection of a partner - deer fights
RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ORGANISMS
It is often true, that the one who comes the first is the „winner“ - trees – „ Finders keepers“
Plants can compete with each other by means of the roots, they also can use secretions – wormwood, couch. This competition may lead to suppression of other species, or to establish a state of equilibration
Species can exist one next to another => coexistence
RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ORGANISMS Predation: Among the species One body becomes a prey to the other Predator x pray Predator – carnivore or herbivore Carnivore kills the prey, herbivore may not kill the
organism => protective measures Plants - substances that advise the predator - onion - spiny outgrowths on the leaves and stems Animals - colour, smelling feces
RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ORGANISMS
Parasitism: Organisms sponge on the bodies or the
metabolic products of other organisms A special type of predation Parasite x host Real parasite (holoparasite) -
heterotrophs Hemiparasite –autotrophs – only
needs minerals from the host - mistletoe
RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ORGANISMS Ectoparasites (external) x endoparasites (internal) They feed on the body fluids, tissues, body
parts ... Some organisms are parasites only at a certain
stage of development For example. A flea: a larva lives freely and eat
organic residues and the adults feed on blood Endoparasites – Schistosoma haematobium -
blood flukes =>cystitis Ectoparasites – fleas, lice, ticks
RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ORGANISMS A lot of parasites are pathogens Especially those feeding on body fluids In the Middle Ages there were fleas
that carried the plague bacteria Today, for example ticks, which can
transmit viruses that cause meningitis and bacteria that are causing Lyme disease
RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ORGANISMS Symbiosis: Fixed coexistence of two species Mutually beneficial co-existence -
growing, food, reproduction Lichen - sponge + green algae Legume plants + bacteria can bind
nitrogen
RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ORGANISMS Protocooperation : The relationship between pollinators
and plants Comparatively free link They feed on plant juices + pollinating
plants Sometimes only one species of an
insect can pollinate certain plants
RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ORANISMS Cooperation: Cooperation of individuals A bird honeyguide feeds on honey and
beeswax in most species and it can break even bee nests. Its screaming is heard by baboons or honey badgers and they can take honey from the nest.
Or a bird honeyguide + natives
WORKSHEET - QUESTIONS
What is a hemiparasite? Why are species in the wild competing? What is symbiosis? What are the types of parasites? What is the coexistence of a sponge
with green algae in a lichen?
