- If a parasite’s life cycle involves multiple hosts, what might control the population dynamics of the parasite? Briefly discuss. What is mutualism? Look up some examples of relationships that have been identified as mutualisms and examine them critically. Are they in fact mutualistic?Are there examples of mutualism or parasitism within these species? Explain and classify them into categories of mutualism, parasitism, and none.Using the basic S-I-R model of parasite and host dynamics, explain why the proportion of infected individuals in the population declines over time.
- Background: An area has two different Anopheles species, species A and species B. Both can vector Plasmodium, although Plasmodium develops best and is transmitted best by species B. Species A is dominant because its larvae outcompete species B in the main shared breeding sites, small lakes, and ponds. Therefore the population of B is currently small. The small lakes and ponds are also the source for the main food source in the region, fish, grown in fish farms. There is grazing land, but other than chickens, the local population does not have livestock. Species A is largely endophilic, species B is exophilic. In other localities, species A and B will also feed on cattle, and B appears to prefer cattle. Both species like to roost during the hot day in rock overhangs and small caves. The national malaria control agency sends in a new person to develop a malarial control strategy. (S)he recommends draining the lakes and ponds, and intensive house spraying. Discuss the pros and cons of…How common is parasite-driven host extinction?

- Which type of survivorship curve is generally exhibited by honeybees given their life history strategy? Type I Type II Type IIIWhat is coevolution? Using the myxoma-rabbit example explain how coevolution can lead to an arms race between the host and parasite.Commensalism Mutualism Parasitism Competition Predation _________ 1. Although termites can physically chew and ingest wood, they are incapable of chemically digesting the wood. Inside of the termite is an intestinal flagellate that secretes the enzymes necessary for the termite to digest the wood. The flagellates live only inside in the hindgut of termites. _________ 2. Barnacles create home sites by attaching themselves to whales. This relationship neither harms nor benefits the whale. _________ 3. Tapeworms, for example, live inside the intestines of humans and farm animals. They obtain digested food and shelter from their hosts. Hence, the hosts are likely to suffer from low nutrition. _________ 4. The stork uses its saw-like bill to cut up the dead animals it eats. As a result, the dead animal carcass is accessible to some bees for food and egg laying. The relationship neither harms nor benefits the stork. _________ 5. Honey guide birds alert and direct badgers to bee hives.…
