Document Summary
Community complexity: community ecology is messy stuff, lots of unpredictability and redundancy, makes study difficult. Identify species in a habitat, then putting two species together: humans and lobsters, bacon and eggs, apples and oranges, etc, what can happen, 1. They interact (from harmful to helpful, from a bit to a lot) Badgers have powerful feet and can dig to get prairie dog. If its not paying attention, the fox could be waiting on the exit. Could run back to the burrow and get the badger. The genome of mitochondria and arrangement of dna is like the bacteria: mycorrhizae (= fungus and plant) - ~80% of land plants! Expected that mutualism only existed in legumes, number is certain to grow from 80% Fungi can help with water uptake, can produce secondary compounds that end up in plant tissues and protect them from grazing insects: corals and algae can get so intertwined that it becomes hard to separate them.
