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

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.

If you transplant trunk neural crest into the cranial neural crest region of a developing embryo, will you see the donor tissue form cartilage? Does the neural crest only give rise to two cells in the developing embryo, and is essential for lamprey to develop their jaw structure? Does a multipotent neural crest cell that is receiving Wnt signals become a Chromaffin cell?
Using quail and chick embryos, quail-specific antibody and fluorescent tissue-specific antibodies, design an experiment where you investigate the tissues the cranial neural crest can give rise to.  What are four derivatives of the cranial neural crest that you expect to see in the resulting chimeric embryos?
Does the neural crest have to undergo epithelial to mesenchymal transition prior to migration through the developing embryo?  Does the neural crest differentiate into different cell types based on their axial position along the anterior and posterior axis?
