Usually, we think of evolution as a slow, gradual process — but Yale scientists have shown that vast changes in species can occur in just short periods of time. A study spearheaded by Jason Shapiro ...

A new study on the coexistence of bacteria and fungi shows that a mutually beneficial, functioning symbiosis can be very fragile. Researchers at the Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and ...

A research team has delineated a complex symbiosis between a 'parasitic' noncoding RNA gene and its protein coding 'host' gene in human cells. The study reveals how co-evolution of the host gene and ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract In ant-plant symbioses, the behavior of ant inhabitants affects the nature of the interaction, ranging from mutualism to parasitism.

Pollination, predation, parasitism, symbiosis, biological interactions between species are incessant and essential to nature. They are even at the origin of the incredible biodiversity of our planet.

One of the most interesting topics discussed in my Ornithology class was about the “con artists” found in nature… Brood parasitism occurs when a female bird (the parasite) lays her eggs in the nest of ...

Fungi are neither plants nor animals. The kingdom fungi is one of the six kingdoms of life, along with plants, animals, protists, bacteria and archaea. Molds and yeasts are part of the kingdom fungi, ...

Generally speaking, symbiotic relationships are arrangements that are mutually beneficial to both organisms. One example of a typical animal-animal symbiotic relationship is that between sharks and ...
