Summary Introduction

To interpret: An example of a pair of species that exhibit each of the interspecific interactions.

Concept introduction: The interactions among members of the different species are called the interspecific interactions. These interactions include predation,interspecific competition, herbivory, symbiosis (Parasitism, Mutualism, and Commensalism), and facilitation. Many of the interspecific interactions can affect the survival and reproduction of the species that engage in them.

Explanation of Solution

Examples of a pair of species that exhibit the interspecific interactions:

Interspecific Interaction Examples
Interspecific competition (-/-) A fox and a bobcat competing for prey
Predation(+/-) A lion eating a rabbit
Herbivory(+/-) A humming bird drinking nectar
Symbiosis
  • Parasitism(+/-)
Fleas or ticks that live on dogs and cats
  • Mutualism(+/+)
Sea anemones and clownfish
  • Commensalism(+/0)
Cattle egret and buffalo
Facilitation(+/+ or 0/+) A flowering plant and its pollinator.

You aim to test the hypothesis that the Tbx4 and Tbx5 genes inhibit each other's expression during limb development. With access to chicken embryos and viruses capable of overexpressing Tbx4 and Tbx5, describe an experiment to investigate whether these genes suppress each other's expression in the limb buds. What results would you expect if they do repress each other? What results would you expect if they do not repress each other?
You decide to delete Fgf4 and Fgf8 specifically in the limb bud. Explain why you would not knock out these genes in the entire embryo instead.
You implant an FGF10-coated bead into the anterior flank of a chicken embryo, directly below the level of the wing bud. What is the phenotype of the resulting ectopic limb?  Briefly describe the expected expression domains of 1) Shh, 2) Tbx4, and 3) Tbx5 in the resulting ectopic limb bud.
