- 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. 5.

These results provide further evidence for the effects of habitat size on the phorid-Acromyrmex system in a tropical rain forest, based on the abundance of parasitoids both as adults in the field and as reared immature phorids in the laboratory. Phorid parasitized leafcutter ants were most abundant in areas of continuous forest, and less abundant in the forest fragments. O Phorid flies are important parasitoids of leafcutter ants nd leafcutter ants can be found in Brazil's Southeastern Both phorid flies Atlantic Forest. The study provides evidence that this parasitoid-host interaction between phorid flies and leafcutter ant differs between continuous forest and forest fragments. Phorid flies were just as abundant in forest fragments as they were in continuous forest, but were less successful in parasitizing leafcutter ants.arrow_forward
