Biol 2260 mutualism, parasitism, and disease - 17/10/16 01. A-f go to oca 203 g-z stay in wenjack bring a calculator. 30 marks, and 40 minutes to complete it no multiple choice, fill in the blank, short answer (a couple sentences, and one word answers), definitions, calculation questions (write the equation!) Today"s material will be on the midterm. Complex interactions: behavioural modification (such as a parasite basically making their host do its bidding), infestation, effects of parasites on predation/competition (energy budget goes towards fighting of infection, not what they need to survive), protection, and construction. Behaviour modification many parasites alter the behaviour of host to benefit transmission and reproduction of the parasite. Infestation winter ticks (demancentor albipictus) have a number of hosts, however, they have a single host for each stage of their lifecycle moose hides from western. Ticks and moose populations the number of ticks changes in sync with the change in moose populations similar to predator-prey cycles.
