Mutualism

  • Specimen: Ruby-Throated Hummingbird
  • Location: Picture was taken on my grandparent's porch at their house in Wyandotte.
  • Relates to term: How this relationship is considered mutualism is because as the hummingbird is getting the nectar (benefiting the bird) it also gets the flower's pollen on it and as the bird fly from one flower o the next it gets the pollen on other flowers (benefiting the flower's chance of reproduction).
  • Definition: Mutualism: Advantageous relationship between species: a relationship between two organisms of different species that benefits both and harms neither.
