1 BIOS 3010: Ecology Lecture 13: Symbiosis & Mutualism: Lecture summary: Definitions. Examples. Symbiotic and nonsymbiotic. Crops. Fruit dispersal. Gut mutualists. Mycorrhizae. Resplendent quetzal, M & P Fogden, The Rainforests A Celebration, Barrie & Jenkins Dr. S. Malcolm BIOS 3010: Ecology Lecture 13: slide 1 2. Processes: Mutualism Mutualism is an interaction in which both partners benefit. Symbiosis just means "living together" in close association (excluding parasitism). Mutualism is a special kind of symbiosis, but mutualists don't have to be symbionts to benefit each other: So mutualisms can be either symbiotic or non-symbiotic Dr. S. Malcolm BIOS 3010: Ecology Lecture 13: slide 2 3. Processes: Mutualism Most of the world's biomass is made of mutualists: most plants, coral reefs, pollinators. - individuals in a population of each mutualist species grow, survive and reproduce at higher rates when in presence of individuals of the other species Note: it is not a cosy relationship - each species acts completely selfishly. Dr. S. Malcolm BIOS 3010: Ecology Lecture 13: slide 3 1
2 4. Processes: Mutualism (1) Nonsymbiotic mutualisms: Cleaner fish. Ants tending aphids. Pollinator-flower interactions. (2) Symbiotic mutualisms: Fungus-alga associations in lichens (Fig ). Fungus-plant associations in mycorrhizae. Animal-alga associations such as the flatworm Convoluta roscoffensis. Dr. S. Malcolm BIOS 3010: Ecology Lecture 13: slide 4 5. Examples of nonsymbiotic mutualisms: Bull's horn acacia and Pseudomyrmex ants (Figs & 13.3) Shrimps and gobiid fish (Fig. 13.3) Clown fish & anemones (Amphiprion percula) Cleaner fish & customers. Honey guide and ratel. Defense mutualisms like Müllerian mimicry in heliconiid butterflies (Jim Mallet web page) Group defense. Dr. S. Malcolm BIOS 3010: Ecology Lecture 13: slide 5 6. Agricultural/domestic mutualists: Are domestic crops and domestic animals examples of mutualisms with man? Is your dog or cat a mutualist? If there are many more of a species than there would have been without the association it must be a mutualism! Farming also occurs in termites and ants where they tend aphids or butterfly larvae or fungus gardens (Fig. 13.5) (leafcutter ants). Dr. S. Malcolm BIOS 3010: Ecology Lecture 13: slide 6 2
3 7. Fruit dispersal and pollination: Fruit dispersal is mostly a generalist phenomenon (Fig. 13.7) Pollination Charles Darwin was fascinated by pollination: He described the specialized floral structure of the Madagascar star orchid in 1859 with nectar tubes approx. 30 cm long. He suggested that a pollinator must exist with an appropriately long proboscis and 40 years later a hawkmoth with a 25cm proboscis was found Floral diversity & pollinators (Fig. 8.5, Howe & Westley, 1988) Fig wasp mutualism (Fig. 7.7, Howe & Westley, 1988) Dr. S. Malcolm BIOS 3010: Ecology Lecture 13: slide 7 8. Symbiotic mutualisms: Degrees of symbiotic association (Fig ) Such a range of association dependence implies that closer associations might benefit the interactants. Greater stability for the symbiont or the opportunity to control environmental conditions through the association. Dr. S. Malcolm BIOS 3010: Ecology Lecture 13: slide 8 9. Gut mutualists: Gut inhabitants in plant-feeding vertebrates and invertebrates: Problem is coping with cellulose - a very hard to digest polysaccharide. Many animals have solved the problem by hosting bacterial microcosms in their guts. Ruminants (deer, cattle & antelope) have a 4-chambered stomach Rumen harbors a complete ecological community of protozoa and bacteria that compete, predate and cooperate through mutualisms, all based on the complex plant molecules that the host ruminant cannot digest (Fig ). Termites are insect deer with their own microflora that digest cellulose (Figs & of termite gut flora). Aphids also have tightly associated symbiotic mutualists (Fig ) Dr. S. Malcolm BIOS 3010: Ecology Lecture 13: slide 9 3
4 10. Mycorrhizae: Sheathing ectomycorrhizae & vesicular arbuscular (VA) endomycorrhizae are found in the majority of plant species (Figs & 13.17) and they clearly benefit plants (Fig ) by providing P, N & Ca. Ectomycorrhizae occur as a sheath most often on the roots of trees and can be cultured in isolation from their hosts and require soluble carbohydrates as their carbon resource from the host (not cellulose like free-living fungi). VA endomycorrhizae are extremely widespread and penetrate host cells which makes them very difficult to culture. Dr. S. Malcolm BIOS 3010: Ecology Lecture 13: slide Nitrogen fixation: Bacteria associated with the roots of some plants can fix atmospheric nitrogen and make it available to the plant (Fig ) This benefits the plant and influences the outcome of other ecological processes (Fig ) Dr. S. Malcolm BIOS 3010: Ecology Lecture 13: slide Postscript on mutualisms: The ultimate symbiotic mutualism may be evolution of the eukaryotic cell. Tit-for-tat : Axelrod & Hamilton have demonstrated theoretically the increased stability generated from cooperation. Sex may have evolved through parasitism that led to cooperation and mutualism because of mutual benefit. Dr. S. Malcolm BIOS 3010: Ecology Lecture 13: slide 12 4
