What are two examples of mutualism in the tropical rainforest?

Answer 1

On the African savanna a small bird, kind of like a canry, lives on the back of an elephant, rhino or giraffe. This little bird cleans the creature and rids it of ticks and other pests while in turn the bigger animal, provieds the bird protection from predators.

Answer 2

One example of mutualism in the tropical rainforest is the relationship between ants and the acacia tree. The ants protect the tree from herbivores and in return, the tree provides shelter and food for the ants. Another example is the relationship between fig trees and fig wasps. The wasps pollinate the fig flowers, while the fig trees provide a place for the wasps to lay their eggs.

This is the correct answer

Commensalism - commensalism is a class of relationship between two organisms where one organism benefits but the other is neutral (there is no harm or benefit)

Answer 4

Many birds depend on insects which are disturbed from vegetation by movements of large grazers, particularly elephants. The insects are quickly caught by sharp-eyed oxpeckers and bee-eaters. Other birds follow at more sedately pace, to make meals of insects and larvae attracted to the herbivores dung. This is typical commensalism: birds benefit from the activities of elephants but do not affect the huge mammals in any way.

Answer 5

toucans and parrots help each other open nuts

Answer 6

ants and fungi are a good example. the ants actively nurture and defend the fungi. the fungi provides nutrients for the ants and both the fungi and the ants benefit therefore it is mutualism.

Answer 7

There are many examples of mutualism in the tropical rainforest. Two examples are the ants and fungi and spider with pitcher plants.

Answer 8

There are several examples of mutualism in a tropical savanna. Some are the oxpeckers and the rhinos, ants and acacia trees, and the kudu and the giraffe.
