Mutualism: Fig wasps and fig trees Fig wasps (Agaonidae) are a species of wasps that have a life span of a couple of days and could be as little as 2mm in length. Hence the name these wasps are sole pollinators of fig trees (Ficus)‚ each fig tree species has its own particular wasp for pollination. Fig trees are totally dependent on fig wasps for pollination and have been for the past 60 million years‚ this shows that this process of pollinating is efficient and sustainable creating equilibrium

Week #1 -autotrophs are organisms that harvest light or chemical energy in organic compounds. They self nutrition -heterotrophs are organisms that get complex nutrients from the environment (by eating other organisms) -Fungi are heterotrophs or predators because they are parasitic. Bread mold secretes digestive enzymes to enter the membrane.

their effects. Species may interact once in a generation (e.g. pollination) or live completely within another (e.g. endosymbiosis). Effects range from consumption of another individual (predation‚ herbivory‚ or cannibalism)‚ to mutual benefit (mutualism). Interactions need not be direct; individuals may affect each other indirectly through intermediaries such as shared resources or common enemies. Neutralism Neutralism describes the relationship between two species that interact but do not affect
