Document Summary
Protect fungi from disease by using the antibiotics of a bacteria that forms a crust on the ants. The antibiotics only targets parasites that want a piece of that fungus. Ants also groom gardens and take out parasite infected fungi: summarize the interactions between the butterfly (jalmenus evagoras) and ant (iridomymex anceps) and describe the experiments that determined the nature of the mutualism. Involves communication: the butterfly larvae and pupae secrete a sugary nectar composed of sucrose and fructose that nourishes the ants, while the ants protect the larvae and pupae from predators such as wasps. California newt in order to protect itself: m llerian: multiple unpalatable species evolve similar phenotypes to reinforce warning signals, what is aposematic coloration, coloration of toxic animals that serve as warning signs to predators that they are not palatable. 19. 4 gene-culture coevolution: explain how gene-culture coevolution differs from traditional evolutionary processes.
