determine what type of interaction the example is describing 1. Pilotfish remove and eat parasites found on a shark's skin. 2. A Brown-headed cowbird lays her eggs in the nest of a Kirtland's warbler who then raises the young cowbirds as if they were her own. 3.The fungus Ophiocordyceps unilateralis infects ants and alters the ant’s behavior. The infected ant leaves its colony and attaches itself to the underside of a leaf and remains there until the fungus’ life cycle is completed. At this point, a fruiting body emerges from the ant’s head, killing the ant, and the fungal spores are released into the environment. 4. A scorpion stings and subdues its grasshopper prey, then eats the grasshopper.
