Theme Of Mutualistic Relationships

102 Words1 Pages
My piece of art is depicting the theme of mutualistic relationships. It specifically features the relationships between rhinos and oxpeckers, zebras and oxpeakers, clownfish and anemones, crocodiles and plovers, sea turtles and yellow tangs, bees and flowers, and plants roots and mycorrhizal fungi. All of these pairs of organisms coexist in a way that benefits both participants. Some of the ways these species support each other is by cleaning away pests, providing the other with a meal or necessary nutrients, protecting against predators, and assisting in fertilization. These types of symbiotic relationships play a huge role in balancing ecosystems and increasing biodiversity.
